So, MGMT. I've also seen them live it was such a great experience,  it was on December 18th of 2010. I'm not going to tell you the details, I'll leave that to another time. For now, I just want to let you know that I met them. Yep, I met the great MGMT. But that's not the issue today.
Congratulations is the band's second record. Personally, it's my favourite. Although I obviously adore Oracular Spectacular, I will always love Congratulations more (no offense "older brother"). This record is so amazing and all the synths ( played by Ben Goldwasser, one of the original members ) in songs such as "I Found a Whistle" always make me feel so nice. The record has  so many psychadelic influences ( mostly from the 70's, like Bowie ) and Andrew VanWyngarden's voice in possibly every song can take you to another world where everyting is so colourful and then let you fall into the deepest darkness, as if you were being dragged into a black hole. Their awesome sound is complete with guitar played by both Andrew Vanwyngarden and James Richardson, bass by Matt Asti and drums, by Will Berman.
I think the best track ( well, i's my favourite ) is Siberian Breaks, a 12-minute long song that contrary to what might be believed, isn't tiring at all bcause the rhythm changes and it almost seems like there is more than one song within the song. The lyrics are beautiful as well, especially the part when Andrew sings "... the empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all / wide open arms can feel so cold / and you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth / but I hope I die before I get sold ... ". To me, it feels close to perfection.
