Today I listened to Little Dark Age, the new MGMT record released under Columbia Records. This album, while not my favorite MGMT album, was still incredibly unique and enjoyable. I loved the spacey, vocoded vocals in songs like "She Works Out Too Much", as they reminded me of the Gorillaz sound in the early 2000's. The sound design was also fantastic, the dark acid-basses that were found in almost every song gave the album an 80s synth-pop vibe. There was also a variety of unique sounds used to create extremely catchy hooks, like in "When You Die". Like usual, I have very minimal criticism for this album. There was very little that I didn't like. The only negative I could think of would pertain to the the song "James". The vocals were incredibly quiet, and there was a constant white noise in the background for most of the song that annoyed me. The white noise drowns out the vocals a bit and take away from the song as a whole. Overall, Little Dark Age was a great album and MGMT has yet to produce a bad record.
