Oracular Spectacular is the first major label studio album by MGMT and ultimately enjoyed both critical approval and commercial success, with the album selling over 500,000 copies in the U.S. And going platinum in Australia, the U.K., and Ireland. The album features MGMT's signature song "Kids", the funky track "Electric Feel" (famously covered by Weezer) and the smashing opening track "Time to Pretend". The tunes sound classic and new all at once, paying homage to Bowie, the Kinks, and the Stones, while updating traditional progressions with flashes of Royal Trux, Ween, and LCD Soundsystem.

Reviews"Filled with electro-processed recorders, mad Mellotrons, walls of fuzz and finely fingered acoustic guitars to go with MGMT's mystic mountain melodies...", Ranked #10 in Spin's "40 Best Albums of 2008in- "A State-Of-The-Art Party Album.", "MGMT have clearly soaked up a lot of the sort of stuff that bands of their ilk exist for...but, rather charmingly in these dread-heavy times, they dress it all up in expansively positive pop songs that are, generally, high as kites.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "ORACULAR is thick with countless layers of electronics, live instrumentation and vocal harmonies....It's brilliant.", Ranked #36 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "With wild reverbs, huge keyboards and slippery lyrics...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "MGMT offer a series of rock pastiches so joyously over-egged that they become something new and celebratory. A sugary feast for the senses.", Ranked #13 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "It's raw talent that has kept MGMT afloat through 2008. Long may it do so.", Ranked #31 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2008 -- "It's Acid Rock for Realists.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A collection of ambitiously stitched-together genres, all massaged into punchy cohesion by Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann. It's a bold debut.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "There are hints of Joy Division and Sixties nostalgia both acid-tinged and bluesy, but ORACULAR SPECTACULAR's playfulness and remarkable density are best displayed on 'Electric Feel'..."
Additional InformationProducer extraordinaire Dave Fridmann polishes MGMT's catchy psychedelic and indie electro-pop songs to a shiny sonic gleam on the Brooklyn duo's major-label debut.
