i think mgmt is a crap band
this is just my honest opinion they had that first album that had interesting imagery and it also had a few really good songs like electric feel and time to pretend their second album, congratulations was underwhelming and all those new hippie fans didn't really have anything to cheer for when they got that album i remember when their 3rd album was about to come out, i was really curious to see what they would do.. would they go back to the sound that people like? the soulful hippie thing with the catchy style? or would they go with the experimental noise and uninteresting tinkering thing again they went with the latter and so basically... i feel they made the wrong decision i feel almost like they are afraid to make good music again.. its like um.. its like not wanting to show your dad you got an 'A' in math because you know the first thing he will say is "since i know you can do it, i expect to see those from here on out" and it creates an expectation that you feel might be too hard to live up to i feel like they are ruining their career with their own fear.. i could be wrong, but this is just my opinion on them before i move on, i want to point out a few other things about them quickly 1. their interviews are ridiculous.. their whole "crappy interview" schtick is funny for about 5 minutes, after that you find yourself saying "can you answer a question like a normal person for once?" ..they just have absolutely terrible interviews that don't help you get to know who they are and what motivates them and what they stand for 2. everyone online says their live show is awful 3. i think they are gay.. i never saw it before, but i looked up some of their interviews the other day and i was like wow... these dudes are gay.. they look at each other too much.. i feel like they look at each other almost as if they are looking for approval from each other- it just appears to me like they are too close as men.. also they conduct themselves like 2 middle school girls who have a bunch of secrets ok so now back to my overall talk mgmt is a crap band, they had an opportunity to really go in and do some amazing work for the masses.. but they keep making this weird stuff that isn't really anything anyone can latch onto i'm not saying go full on pop.. i'm saying make a good song.. i mean look at some of my fave bands, curve, cocteau twins.. etc.. its like they aren't pop at all, but they make good music.. they aren't just going in the studio and doing whatever i think back to someone like kenny loggins.. kenny loggins apparently liked making folk music, but when it was time for him to make music for the masses, he made phenomenal songs "danger zone" "playin with the boys" "i'm free (heaven helps the man)" that is what mgmt should do imo.. be like- ok maybe u like making this crappy music that only 3% of the population like, but 97% of people like songs like electric feel.. so make both types of songs, but only release the music that 97% of people like for mgmt and keep the other music u just do for fun- or release it under a diff moniker but no... they only release the crappy music to me just seems like mgmt is totally BS'ing i feel they have become like a joke they started with so much promise and just threw it all away.. i love time to pretend, but their work after oracular spectacular is just not good.. and its not good to a point where it feels like its on purpose
