Rolling Stone - p.82
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'..."Rolling Stone - p.92
Ranked #31 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "It's acid rock for realists."Spin - p.51
Ranked #10 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[A] state-of-the-art party album."Uncut - p.98
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."Alternative Press - p.115
4.5 stars out of 5 -- "ORACULAR is thick with countless layers of electronics, live instrumentation and vocal harmonies....It's brilliant."Q (Magazine) - p.138
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."Mojo (Publisher) - p.66
Ranked #36 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[With] wild reverbs, huge keyboards and slippery lyrics..."Harp (magazine) (p.104) - "Filled with electro-processed recorders, mad Mellotrons, walls of fuzz and finely fingered acoustic guitars to go with MGMT's mystic mountain melodies..."
The Word (magazine) (p.106) - "[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."
Clash (Magazine) (p.67) - Ranked #13 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "[I]t's raw talent that has kept MGMT afloat through 2008. Long may it do so."
