4.0 out of 5 stars Psychedelic tendencies paired with playful backing beats, February 18, 2008

MGMT's debut single, "Time To Pretend," starts off a little freaky-deaky, but the opening salvo ("I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life") gets things kicking in the right direction. The song freshly skewers the rock-star tropes of overnight success, drugs, models, more drugs, regret, and yes, untimely death. The wall-of-distortion background reminds me a little of the Cure and a lot of Curve (or most any noise-pop band, really).

I must admit I prefer MGMT's clearer 2005 version of this song, but this version is brilliant, rocking, and hook-driven as well. This has got to be one of the all-time best songs of rock and roll excess.
