People might be a bit disappointed about the fact that, unlike the previous album,
MGMT's
Congratulations is lack of singles that can stands out like '
KIDS' and '
Electric Feel.' Without the guaranteed popular elements,
Congratulations still surprises me with amazing details and fun rythm. The opening song '
It's Working' keeps me wonder if I was really listenign to
MGMT, and then the
Beatles-like '
Someone's Missing' truly makes the next song '
Flash Delerium' worked and was blown away by the exploding power of the song. Every song seems like a new start and for me it's very
MGMT; of course the sound is more mature, and of course it felt a bit different then the first time--maybe less dancey. As one of the most anticipated albums of the year,
MGMT's
Congratulations is a very pleasant and admirable piece of work.
