The favorite band of the UMP, hahaha. The favorite of your little brother, your sister, your big cousin, even your mother does not find it so bad. MGMT or how to make NVTBL. The Pet Sounds of fluo generation, Sergeant Pepper's era of Pitchfork, the Forever Changes to listen to "shuffle". The group and the disk on which it probably does nothing more to say. The Disneyland of contemporary pop music, where, however, lurk ghosts as terrifying as those of Roger Hodgson, Freddie Mercury and Jeff Lyne. MGMT, the disc of the year 2008. Finally, for you, especially . The first time I had this disc in my hands, I have fallen ears: "Are you crazy or what I want to listen to Electric Light

Orchestra" It was long before the hype, before success: a rather discreet exit. I would not bet a Fortis above, perhaps because at my age, this kind of music represents a certain idea of demons, ghosts and other horrors of the past. The success of the Bauhaus, the Smiths and the acid-house in 80 years is explained not only because he was hearing proposals attractive. This also allowed to escape Travellin 'Wilburys, to Supertramp, Dire Straits to. So, is taken by surprise in the esgourdes something like MGMT is always scary for someone like me: this is equivalent to go to a cemetery next to a full moon night following an industrial accident and see Green Roger Hodgson scraping the ground around his grave between open. The second time I fell on MGMT, I think they should already be too worried about their pension savings. It was the song The Youth, used in a documentary on some internet DJ's of the fluorescent wave. Ca colle bien aux images, it was beautiful. The Youth is a great song, I did not notice at first, when the album appeared to me as a particularly gruesome zombies baba gruel for yuppies. The Youth is a great song but now that I listen to the album, mainly Weekend Wars I carves yet another anus. Weekend Wars, of course, we can see a pastiche of Lennon or a decal that Bowie was in 1972. However, it is a universe in itself, full of pitfalls, where past, present and future are getting telescopes. At least the impression that I made a sleepless night after a dozen wine glasses well packed. A fasting, it's just a song that appears to have fallen for The Man Who Sold The World but hey, The Man Who Sold The World, what ... We therefore these two women, who are clearly tops the album, even the career of Americans or even the modern pop, more generally. Speaking personally, I am much less convinced by the rest. It is pro labor and clean, there is no need to procrastinate. Ca serious control, perhaps more so on the second half of the disc but it's these guys lay pipe relative ease. Imagine Electric Feel taken by Beyoncé and you hold the musical equivalent of the giant octopus ravaged New York in the late Watchmen (the comic book, not the movie: hey yeah, they did the coup to remove the octopus Giant). Dans le genre "already" putassier ago Kids, who held him over the idea of universal glue for DJ's: in an indie set in a set Banger, you do not know what to move, hop, and Kids it again! Ca control serious but good, Celine Dion too serious control. Lara Fabian and then ... More than a matter of taste, when MGMT chicane, I think it is really primarily a concept of "conception of music" that comes in. It is a good group, we agree. Some fucking songs, egg production, influences not so rotten that it finally (much qu'ELO Bowie, of course). But then, I find this beautiful incredibly good, it gave me completely. This is probably one of the greatest things pop history, but arrived after the short term yet the album, I wanted to vomit as if I had to swallow 10 cakes too rich too fast. I like cakes, my body under. Same with MGMT. Same with Mercury Rev. Same with Flaming Lips. Such, indeed, with all these groups that are here to help you find the sensations of childhood. I do not trip as a big teddy bear and small balls, campfires and music you want zolie I point this way of all these musicians add a lot of layers to their songs. To make it completely too, with the result that the listener feel completely overwhelmed and amazed, therefore, like a child discovering a place so impressive that his eyes will not save the paint flaking or breath capote clown. oracular Spectacular is Orlando is Marne-La-Vallée is a shit latest Pixar or Brad Pitt. Manipulation, in other words. A successful pop art of voodoo. You are invited to enter a world that makes you dream, to build new dreams from this world. But it is not to participate, just cash. And me, I do not like it, which indeed my love for garage rock and early techno, which are much more participatory. I like also when the brothel. But beyond its obvious artistic freedom and style, there is no brothel in MGMT. How could it also be there in a group called Management who-conscious or not to do so - is announcing at the outset an attempt to control and absolute control of human resources? This conception of music is like a concept of architecture: you can take the photo skyscrapers found in him a certain style without having the urge to live, you can admire the gilding of the room 5 star hotel overlooking the Eiffel Tower while personally feeling better in a cottage in the woods. Hey ben, is, for me, MGMT, just visit with some pleasure, even-but never, I would not trade it against my two cans of regular music.
