Knowing the lead band remember, Ryan Karazija passed makes this album feel even more like a goodbye letter to everyone. Everyone song on here creates its own little world with immaculate production and feels.
Remove some of the ballads and the drivers license copy and you have yourself a winner.
Every song starts with a singular idea but then progressively builds into this symphonic wet dream.
Some of the best production i've ever heard along with some of the best orchestration and vocal performances to boot.
Some tracks are a bit hit 'n miss, and the production can be a bit muddled, but when they tell a story and describe a scene with the song slowly building until a pounding climax, damn.
Dealing with grief after you die is something i didn't think of and surprisingly greats a fantastically produced story line and album experience.
The most relatable, most cozy, most heartbreaking and exposing album that puts you in a cabin in the middle of winter next to a warm fireplace -- but you can never get the fire going.
Some tracks make you want to smash your head into a wall, and then some tracks make you want to jump off a cliff. But if we're being honest here, its the tracks that make you want to do both simultaneously that are the real winners.
Its a bit pretentious I suppose, and maybe the guy needs to lean off the Billie Eilish, but christ if it doesnt hit in all the right places.
Its like I'm being birthed all over again but this time instead of my mother screaming, its angelic voices and lush soundscapes.
Mixing their more experimental stuff with their more poppy stuff, MGMT manages to produce some life but with a little loss here and there.
Lacks a lot of energy that im familiar with Mr. Yorke and Co. putting out but still pretty good.
