I still haven't heard this song.
Though I really enjoyed "Time to Pretend" and to a slightly lesser extent, "Electric Feel," I'd like to see how long I can go without hearing it. (If, god forbid, it falls off the chart and I still haven't heard it, then I'll seek it out.)
I know that sounds ridiculous, considering I like the first two singles, but it's kinda like that crappy episode of Seinfeld where Kramer was test driving the car and he and the salesman decided to see how far they could go with the gas tank on E.

Not quite repetition. The first comment says it should be their best because it's my favorite. The second one noted that it was Mgmt's most successful song. What the hell difference does it make anyway, since you deleted both of them? |

What the hell difference does it make anyway, since you deleted both of them? There was a game for several consoles called Psychonauts released a few years back. Great game. Very funny. The idea was to get inside of people's heads and each level was inside of their mind. The reason I'm bringing this up is because I imagine Artie's mind to be a boss level. Maybe even the final level. It must be sunshine, rainbows, and pink bunny rabbits in there. |

^I rented that game, it was pretty sweet. That said, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

^^^^Well, I could've sworn more than one post said that the best song should be the most successful one, which is how I interpreted it to be the same message. Oh well, it meant enough to you to have gotten you to delete it.

I think those were deleted long before this. But still, congrats to them for this song being their most popular.

This song has grown on me finally. Now "Time To Pretend" is not the only song from MGMT that I can say I like. ::unenthusiastic yay::

"Time To Pretend" will always be the song to end their concerts with, regardless of how "Kids" ends up doing on the charts.

*sigh*. And to think that oldtimers like us could have been wasting our time all along being the ones posting irrelevant spin totals every day for every song, so that when the new kids arrived, they'd realize for sure that anything that Billboard, Hitpredictor or anyone else says that differs from Mediabase is misinformation, no questions asked.

Who knew all it took to hear "Kids" was recording Out of Order while I slept in to play it back later? Based on one listen, I still significantly prefer "Time to Pretend" and then "Electric Feel" over this. Nevertheless, I think it's time to download Oracular Spectacular to try it on. |

^ You won't be disappointed!
Personally I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this is doing. I've thoroughly overplayed Oracular Spectacular at this point, but it will go down as a classic in my book.
I'm wondering if they will be done with singles from this album after 'Kids'. Perhaps they could pull a UK and re-release 'Time to Pretend'... or ever 'Electric Feel.' Now that more people know about MGMT, and those two singles weren't overplayed, perhaps we could see more success from those singles. Or they could close out the album with 'Weekend Wars', 'The Youth'... or "Pieces of What".

Weekend Wars seems to be the song that people I know who know MGMT like the most.

I don't really like "Weekend Wars", but that's because I'm a godless heathen.

It's an alright album for my money, but for me the two bigger singles are the clear best songs on the album. That sort of disappointed me upon its initial listens. "Weekend Wars" is at least memorable enough although not a favorite of mine.

There are two bigger singles than Kids? What did we miss?? Kids has Mgmt's highest peak position and most airplay in one week.

He never implied that "Kids" wasn't one of "the two bigger singles" as far as I can tell...

"Weekend Wars" is not on the level of any of the three singles, but it's also a different type of song. Same as Max I've noticed WW to be the next most popular song amongst my friends. It could be a good single to finish off the album. Or like I said... re-release "Time to Pretend"...

I think I might just go ahead and buy this album on Friday when I get paid. I've been hesitating cause I find some of the songs to be okay, but then again, they could grow on me. :)
