Oracular Spectacular introduced the music fan to the quirky fun of MGMT. The album shows off their wide musical influences and when this album is good, it really is quite amazing. The lead single 'Time to Pretend' is both droll and charming. In fact, their writing is excellent throughout the record. Unfortunately the eclectic nature of their influences means the album bounces around, especially in the latter stages, sounding like a compilation CD. Consider it a mild disappointment.
