few people know this, but im a huge huge rage against the machine fan. ive absolutely been dying for them to put out new material. well, its not gonna happen..yet anyway. HOWEVER, even more hardcore fans than me have been hotly anticipating this EP by frontman Zach de la Rocha. the entire this is only a 20 minute set, but at this point we will take anything! and the good news is that it isnt a huggge departure from what we are used to with RATM. lets face it- they can all go their separate ways and form other groups (cough Audioslave)..but Zach isnt the same without his band and his band just isnt the same without him. still as of the spring of this year, Rocha remains tight lipped about a possible new album.
what i like about MGMT is that they are friken weird. and seems like alot of my fave music has some kind of linking to brooklyn. Oracular Spectacular is not for people who like highly commercial music. little known factiod: they actually were played on the season finale of gossip girl! right now "electric feel" has me groovin.
i already own Neptune, which i have on friken repeat in my car, so i decided to check out their previous album- Cuts Across the Land. When i got to the page on itunes- EVERY DAMN SONG had a completely full popularity meter. (for those that dont know itunes, the popularity meter shows how popular a particular song is compared to others on the album or from different albums) Ive spent probably several hundred dollars on itunes over the past couple of years and i have NEVER come across an album that had that. customer comments went something like "every song on this album is fantastic" and more people concurred with me that this band KILLS it live.
shes called "the killingest popstar on the planet". her voice is beautiful. she looks fierce. shes been around since the late 90's. AND shes british. pretty much everything im looking for in an album. her lyrics are sort of like lily's but she hits it a bit harder than allen does.
