Why the frown? I was never much on "Time to Pretend", but I like "Kids" a lot.

All three singles do it for me but TTP is the least appealing of the bunch. Critics seem to disagree, though, with "Time To Pretend" ranking above the rest in year-end lists. Definitely not as colorful as the other two so I can understand why they'd opt for the more tame choice.

I'll say "Time To Pretend" is the 2nd best single of 2008 and "Kids" ain't #1.

I never understood why Electric Feel didn't catch on. It's more radio-friendly than this or TTP.

Well, for me, this song was immediate, while "Electric Feel" took a while to grow on me, and I still don't like it as much. For that matter, "Time To Pretend" was a bit of a grower too.

This is easily my favorite of the singles from the album. Had I heard this during the time of "TTP" I'd probably have the album by now. Still, it's one of the next things I plan on buying.

I think I heard both "Electric Feel" and "Time to Pretend" about the same time, and "Electric Feel" was abit more appealing, and I decided to chart it instead of "Time to Pretend". Now, I really like "Time to Pretend" even more than "Electic Feel". (EF peaked at #9 and TtP is at #8 on my chart right now, and has potential to peak higher)
"Kids" on the other hand, is abit weaker than those 2 songs, but is growing on me right now.

I think it's so strange how everyone knows MGMT now... I was listening to them back at my school when they were seniors.

I'd never heard of Mgmt until the first single. But this CD by the duo is one of my most played of the last six months.

I don't get why people are talking like this is such trash compared to "TTP." Besides, this is the current song and more radio play for it will give them more exposure.

Everyone I know has said "Kids" is the best MGMT single. I completely agree. It's so catchy and infectious. I hope it becomes their biggest hit.

Electric Feel > Kids > Time To Pretend
But honestly, they are all so incredibly amazing that it just doesn't matter

I'm not a huge fan of any of them, but Electric Feel just hurts my ears. After giving more consideration to the three, TTP is fairly solid and Kids is OK...but EF is still bad IMO.
TTP > Kids > EF

Time To Pretend has been the only song I've really warmed up to that I've heard from these guys.

^ And here I half expected you to have a gators avatar at this point. Heh. To be honest, I'm not really a college sports fan in general. I live in South Florida, so I'm more of a fan of the UM Hurricanes as my second favorite team. I went to UCF in Orlando, so the Knights so as an alumni, they're my number one. I was actually rooting for Oklahoma the other night. UM fans don't like the Gators and while I was up at UCF, I got really sick and tired of seeing Gators stuff everywhere since Gainesville is only an hour and a half away from Orlando. I'm an absolute DIEHARD Florida Panthers fan (hell, I'm watching their game right now) and really just a huge hockey fan overall, so I'll have this avatar up until their season is over, which is hopefully in my case beyond early April for the first time since the year 2000.

At this point, I wont really watch NHL hockey anymore until the league smartens up and moves like 3-4 American teams in crappy financial positions to Canada, then move two more to Milwaukee and Seattle. For this, and the lack of exposure now, I usually just stick to International hockey, which is the way to go

Yeah well, what do you expect? Everybody knew the Cardinals had the potential to be great but everyone (including myself) didn't take it to heart because of their play as of late. Bad play calling mixed with some bad decisions from Delhomme caused that loss though.
