Oct 8, 2013This is simply terrible. There are plenty of great bands who combine adventurousness and risk-taking with solid songs. This sounds like throwing ideas against a wall and having no sense of songwriting, flow, melody, or musicianship. What did these songs sound like before they got produced?
Absolutely a case of emperor's new clothes for anyone who thinks this is better than a 2. -
Sep 26, 2013To say that this album is the worst thing the band has ever done would be kind. It tries oh so desperately to pass itself off as something fresh, interesting, arty and unusual, but succeeds only in convincing us that the band have already peaked. Overrated nonsense.

Oct 7, 2013Don't listen to the hipsters passing this off as some sort of art-masterpiece.
It's not.
If it's anything it's a middle finger to their record company.

Q MagazineJan 27, 2014These ever-changing moods don't make MGMT an easy listen. [Oct 2013, p.105]

Nov 7, 2013MGMT's still reacting to the mainstream triumph of 2008's Oracular Spectacular, trying too hard to sound genuinely weird, as if determined to fail at any cost.

MagnetOct 18, 2013The cosmic expanses of "I Love You Too, Death" and "Astro-Mancy" are particularly engrossing, but this record boasts more than enough quality head trips to keep you in it pull 'til the next go-round. [No. 103, p.57]
