I Is Music Journalist (The Continuing Saga)

"Only the truly ignorant could deny that MGMT are one of the most ambitious, audacious and truly great new bands in a longtime."

No. Only the truly ignorant can dismiss the opinions of legions of people who will admit to liking Time To Pretend but see MGMT as nothing but a hollow, musical menangerie of boring influences and even more boring melodies. I mean, fuck anyone who thinks this is even a coherent statement. Even if I said this about These New Puritans or HEALTH, it wouldn't be true. How dare anyone call another music fan ignorant for disliking a band, their attitude or even their dress sense?! Of course, if it was in jest or with a nudge and a wink, fine. But it isn't. It's spiteful, nasty and superior.

So: MGMT are fucking awful. Deal with it.
