Might be a tad more instantly accessible than Checkmate Savage. Kinda getting a bit obsessed by Everybody Knows It's True which could do with being a good three hours long IMO. Nice to see they've managed the second album quite easily.
Part of the reason I didn't warm to MGMT was that when I put the CD in my computer, for some reason it didn't play it but started playing Checkmate Savage from my hard drive instead. Which I hadn't listened to for a while, so I was listening thinking, this is really good, but quite familiar; maybe I have heard them after all. Took me five tracks before I realised. Started the MGMT from the beginning, really wanting it to sound like The Phantom Band. Instead got Flaming Lips-meets-ELO-meets-Top Shop electro. Not what I wanted at all.
