Feb 18, 2018This album was very unique, especially the videos. It has a ton of catchy songs like Me and Michael and Hand it over, etc. And honestly this has became my favorite album by them.
-
May 13, 2018MGMT successfully take on a new sound with 'Little Dark Age'; their attempt to swim away from the mainstream.
-
Feb 9, 2018Some of their best works, if not their best ever. It alternates between being a combination Psychedelic, funky, weird, electric, and charming. Great album.

Feb 9, 2018Their best work yet. The high points on this album are orgasmic and it's blowing me away with every listen.
-
Feb 9, 2018Very solid album with shades of Brian Wilson and The Cure elevated to fit modern psychedelia and synth-pop. The production on this album stumbles into an entirely new realm that swaps shallow radio hooks for mind-numbing, ecstasy fumed melodies that keep you riding high long after the first hit.

May 29, 2018One of the most enjoyable projects of the year so far. Also, it's probably MGMT's finest work.
-
Feb 9, 2018Some really consistently solid tunes here, strong hooks and a really amazing appreciation for structure. I wasn't a massive fan of 2013s MGMT so this is a welcome return to some great pop tunes that still keep the indie flare of Congratulations.

Feb 9, 2018I haven't listened to any of their albums apart from Oracular Spectacular. That album (in my opinion) was below average apart from the 3 great singles. LDA feels like a much more accomplished album, with every track offering something different, but keeping the same brand of cool, psychedelic bliss. Easily the best album of 2018 so far, the first half in particular is incredible!

Mar 8, 2018very solid effort and probably their best album to date. i cannot stop listening to it over and over. love it!

Feb 11, 2018It's been a long time since I've enjoyed an album from start to finish, it even had me dancing at times. It's just fun! They found the perfect combination of experimental and synth-pop. I'm already waiting for the next one! Good job boys.
-
Feb 11, 2018All songs are unique and yet fit within the overall theme. The key changes in one thing left to try is a bit jarring but that is one of the very few missteps of this great album.

Feb 20, 2018Holy shiiiiiiiiiii! Way to come back with a bang! Oh sew guud and fills my hart with warmth. This album brings a great mix of all of their previous work. So if you're a fan of any of their previous albums, you're welcome to give this a listen.

Aug 27, 2019Best album I’ve heard in years. A lot of years. There’s one or two tracks I could do without, which is why this isn’t getting a 10.

May 27, 2018spooky-sounding, psychodelic, great synth-pop ongs, awesome vocal performance by andrew, better instrumental only bad song in my opinion is James, but still, the new MGMT's sound is great. looking forward to this band in the future.

Feb 16, 2018Suena a un Ă¡lbum que pudo haber hecho Pet Shop Boys en un plano mĂ¡s experimental, se escuchan esos sintetizadores de la Ă©poca dorada del New Wave, un viaje a los 80's , es un cambio radical y se puede ver la conservaciĂ³n de la mĂºsica bien producida; no del estilo o la presentaciĂ³n en vivo, pero eso es otro tema...
Little Dark Age es eso, un pequeño paso a una edad oscura. -

Feb 11, 2018Their last two albums lack an identity, they were just two or three good songs. Although Little Dark Age is not spectacular, it is a good album.
-
May 22, 2020On this record, they were able to innovate their sound in a way which lets them experiment without alienating their listener base. Both fans and mainstream.

Feb 9, 2018LDA is a defiant right step that MGMT are taking with this Album, in my opinion this is their best album to date.
-
Feb 13, 2018A great comeback after their previous underwhelming album. A great 80's experimental psychedelic project wherein every single track is essential for it to be decently cohesive.
Recommended tracks: She Works Out Too Much, Little Dark Age, When You Die, Me and Michael, Tslamp, Hand It Over -
Feb 20, 2018Great album! Probably their best yet. After hearing all the singles off this album, I knew I was in for an exciting album. It is filled with some great 80s-esque pop songs that are sure to get you on your feet!
Fav tracks are: She Works Out Too Much, When You Die, Me and Micheal, TSLAMP, and One Thing Left To Try -

Sep 5, 2019MGMT return with their most experimental and enjoyable album to date. At times fascinatingly morbid and others endearing and charming, the band has embraced a new direction that won't be for everyone, but it's certainly interesting.

Mar 26, 2018MGMT always excel when they don't try too hard, and on Little Dark Age, they admirably leverage irony with lighthearted merriment.

MojoFeb 27, 2018Album four reverts to their initial template of hyper-melodic, lyrically skewed, synth-pop. ... Back on form. [Apr 2018, p.87]

Feb 21, 2018Little Dark Age is pleasant enough, but it’s hard to look past a glaring dearth of ideas.
