"Can't decide if I prefer this or The Colour And The Shape. The standout songs on The Colour And The Shape are better than those on Wasting Light, but Wasting Light is more consistent." Reply

"I love this album for...personal reasons, which I won't be going into. All I can say is that I love this from front to back, even despite Young Thug making an appearance. Oh and to the guy with the Sun Kil Moon comment, I listen to both, is there a problem?" Reply

"Clever as Costello, janglier than The Byrds. A fresh, gorgeous, dreamy sound, and such memorable melodies. Why didn't I listen to this last year?" Reply

"Probably the minority here, but I can't get enough of this album. I liked their first album, but think Congratulations is better. Can't wait to see them in concert this June!" Reply

"MGMT back on form, as they present us with a series of catchy, weird, synth-tinged tunes. This album may be kind of weird, but this is their most accessible outing since their 2008 debut. Best Songs: Little Dark Age, When You Die, One Thing Left to Try, When You're Small, Hand It Over" Reply

"Okay, yeah, I know, I know, "Lorde is pop and pop is the devil". For the most part, I agree with you, hypothetical BEA member. Pop is, generally, not even good on accident.

The four musicians have risen with ridiculous ease to the rank of the most exciting band of the UK underground scene, claiming their outsider status by an incredible stage presence. Everything ..."
