Solid fun for at least half of it. May have aged badly but I'm not even sure because I may have aged badly as well so who's to say.

made me laugh.

and yeah, i gotta agree. i don't think this is a huge artistic achievement of an album or timeless or anything, but it's good fun for, yeah, at least half of it.

Yeah, pretty fun album... the obvious highlights here are Time To Pretend, Electric Feel and Kids they are all amazing songs...but i gotta say that i think the 2nd half is a bit underrated songs like Pieces of What and Of Moons, Birds & Monsters are great. I also tend to get nostalgic when i hear any of these songs because it kinda reminds me of mid 00's...ahhhh the bittersweet melancholy of time.

I started listening to MGMT last year with the release of Little Dark Age, which was my AOTY.
This was actually my first proper full listen of this album, and I can only agree it's pure good fun, and sometimes that's just the thing you need. While the singles are obviously the best tracks, I don't think the quality dropped that much down during the second half.
