Truly spectacular!! 
MGMT are a New York duo whose Pop/Dance/Rock/Electronic sound makes for a heady mix. Their very playful disc "Oracular spectacular" comprises just 10 tracks (these days, loads of CDs average 11 tracks, doing away with filler).

Best MGMT Record Yet
Not to sounds pretentious or like a music snob, but I use to listen to these guys since they were referred to as "The Management". All I can say is that they've definitely grown over the years and that this is their best record yet. If you like the single "Time to Pretend", you'll love the rest of the album. This is one of those records you'll listen to again in 10 years and it wont feel like it has aged.
Tracks:
- Time to Pretend
- Weekend Wars
- The Youth
- Electric Feel
- Kids
- 4th Dimensional Transition
- Pieces of What
- Of Moons, Birds & Monsters
- The Handshake
- Future Reflections
