Tons of fun, while also having a lot of quality as well, this is one of those albums that you can listen to on repeat while driving around with the windows down. My only complaint is that it is a bit short.

After some pondering, I have decided on Time to Pretend by MGMT.  Not to say that the rest of their album isn't decent, but it won't catch on like Time to Pretend and could prove to be a one-hit wonder.  Now I realize my music world is a bit different than others, so feel free to throw out other songs as your Song of the Summer
