i decided to end my long music piracy streak by going out and buying this album. hey, sometimes a cd just isn’t worth buying when only 2 tracks are amazing. :/

right after leaving the store i decided to rip off the plastic (while i was walking!), open my car door, and put it into my cd player. “time to pretend” is the first track on the album and is a good opener. i have to agree with the person below me if what they are saying is that mgmt songs on oracular spectacular are jumbled. surprisingly, in a weird way, they all seem to come together and form a decent album. now i know what all the hype was about from all those music blogs. okay, pitchfork (which trumps other sites- admit it!) rated it a 6.8 and although that might not seem great it’s good enough for me! because you know, i am one of those drones that cares about what they rate an album ;/

anyways, i love the following tracks:

weekend wars
electric feel (i would at least have to use the word ‘funk’ when describing this track. caught me off guard, but i enjoyed it)
kids (who can’t fall in love with this beat ?! + it’s overwhelmingly catchy)
4th dimensional transition
pieces of what
future reflections

tracks i like:

the youth
of moons, birds & monsters
the handshake

i don’t necessarily hate or dislike any of the tracks. i think that, even in their state of disorientation, they are all needed to make oracular spectacular… oracular spectacular. it definitely made me glad that the purchase was well worth it. if only other artists could make me feel the same.

promo leaked ;/

i’ve only listened to it in a car so i haven’t fully viewed all of the tracks. i enjoyed some of what i heard, so far. i’ve already put “ready for the floor” on my hypemachine list & i play it when i get ready in the morning now. do it do it do it do it do it do it do it now!

the songs i dislike are “out at the pictures” and “made in the dark.” but maybe when i get the chance to re-listen to the album i will end up appreciating these songs… maybe.

I kind of missed the RPG mode like that of other paper marios ;/ Flipping to 3D could easily let people avoid enemies or stray away temporarily from “bosses.” Above all, it was too easy and the dialogue was rididulous. This was a fun game to pass the time while waiting for other Wii games to come out.

yum!

I get the 67.6oz container of it from K&S World Market. I need to buy more.
