MGMT : Cool Song No. 2

I guess that this track might work in the context of the album? As a standalone track, there really isn’t much to say. It’s dreary as fuck, any psychedelic impulses are toned down, any pop songwriting semblance only momentarily emerges from the bass-heavy slosh, and the vocals sound like Jose Gonzalez overdosing on ennui. Tediously unremarkable in every sense. Like I really can’t imagine an MGMT fan seeing them live in 2013 thinking, “Oh good, they are playing Cool Song No. 2. This is a song I want to hear right now. This is a fun way to spend my time.”
