Reception
One of which is ‘Siberian Breaks’, MGMT's most ambitious undertaking yet. Just over 12 minutes long, ‘Siberian Breaks’ starts off in breezy MOR fashion, gentle harmonies giving it a 70s Todd Rundgren-vibe. Soon, though, they’re ramping up the reverb, ‘Siberian Breaks’ taking its first left turn after 2 minutes, veering into a quietly seething stomp and then turning into a different song entirely 4 minutes in, resembling the Twin Peaks soundtrack if Jason Pierce got his valium-stained mitts on it. Next, airy, atmospheric keyboards lead it out of the hazy wilderness before the chorus (well, sort of) comes booming in at around 8 minutes. But hold on – we ain’t finished yet, or rather ‘Siberian Breaks’ isn’t – just when you think the whole thing is about to peter out 10 minutes in (IDIOT!), in comes bleeping, starry-eyed synths, twinkling like the intro to Radiohead’s ‘Let Down’ and lending ‘Siberian Breaks’ a suitably cosmic finale. MGMT tried out a 12-minute song on ‘Oracular…’ b-side ‘Metanoia’, but that was total crud – ‘Siberian Breaks’ is brilliant.[4]
