MGMT's New Album Release Date: April 13

Album Name: Congratulations

SHMU PREDICTION: I think with the success of Vampire Weekends new album topping the billboard charts opening and number of people who now listen to "Time To Pretend." I predict this album will push them to the top. I wouldn't be surprised if they topped the Billboards Also. This is one album I will actually buy (that is if the critics give it thumbs up.)

P.S. about Vampire Weekend: I know I was skeptical about Vampire Weekend's (VW) new album when I heard "Horchata" for the first time but time has changed my opinion. Once you get past the fact that VW has moved in a different direction that has almost alienated themselves from their old music, you are left with an awesome more electronic album that still has that VW flair. Congrats on your success. I think that this is the first example where an indie band has not "sold out" to hit it big on the charts. Infact its weird because the new album seems less accessible then the old.

VERDICT? GET YOU CALENDARS READY!
