First Listen: MGMT, 'Congratulations'

Yessssssssssssssssssss I've been waiting for this album for longer than I can remember now :)! MGMT's sophomore album, Congratulations is streaming on npr.org until the album's release on April 13. The style is different from their first album which had a kind of tribal psychedelic mood through out it, this time their direction turns to a more far-out traveling through space feel, like their early album released under their old name of The Management, but also with strong influences of surf rock. As usual, the mood of the songs jump all over the place taking you on a trip that you won't find anywhere else. Listen to the whole album from start to finish if you have the time. It's really that good. If you feel like other music out there is lacking, drone, rehashed, then give this band a listen and you may be pleasantly surprised. My only qualm is that it is shorter than I'd have hoped. You can read an article on MGMT and their new album Congratulations as well as find a link to listen to the album here.

Addendum: I need to figure out how to give my posts more room so pictures don't cut off :( Anywho, you can see the full picture by clicking on it.
