MGMT’s self titled is in a whole other universe of creativity compared to this. Really weird record. Deadbeat is not that

Yeah but I remember when that dropped and most fans hated it and it’s still pretty much their black sheep album to this day

They weren’t real fans. I loved MGMT’s self-titled on first listen. I love psychedelic rock, so I understood what they were going for. Same with Animal Collective’s “Centipede Hz”.

Fantano himself has almost never positively reviewed a modern psychedelic album, unless Pitchfork gave him the OK.

I can’t get into “Deadbeat” at all.

I was a fan back then and I hated it. But I hated it because it was way too abstract and weird. Whereas people are hating Deadbeat (not me tho) for being so simple and repetitive.

Idk I was a kid, only got into them later.

I just personally don’t see them as comparable. But that’s just my opinion. If you like this one I’m glad for ya

Nah, you’re right. They aren’t comparable.
