This song is so great, one of their best besides siberian breaks; in my opinion. Its working was written about ecstasy, and how it effects you blood but it isnt the same as love. Brilliant. rock on MGMT!
Most people will say it sucks becuase most people were just fans of Time To Pretend and Kids which were dance type songs which everyone seems to like but their new album is more indie and 60s psychadelic which i think is better because it reflects more of who they are and not just another pop dance artist
they stated themselves that they used to play 'kids' and 'time to pretend' as a joke, taking the piss out of commercial pop, but it turned out people liked it, they got spotted and made an entire album out of it. This is them in sincerity, not that they weren't awesome before
They were never a joke ya fuckin tard! You people are soooo dumbbbb its mind boggling how dumb you all are. Maybe people shouldnt make comments if you dont know anything bout anything regarding music. You people are gonna buy w/e is popular anyway. So fuck off please.
i agree with you.. No one gave a fuck about this band (and thats when we knew about it) Like the album Oracular Spectacular was there old stuff and i think i like it better
Um. MGMT's newer shit is the stuff they really enjoy playing. Unlike other artists, the money and fame is actually helping them make the music they ACTUALLY want to make. with a real band. Not just a computer and a few instruments. They aren't a joke anymore haha.
ummm no, they aren't. There is nothing awesome about them, especially now. Their first couple cd's were pretty good. However like most artists who get money and recognition, their starving souls have left the music and we are left with stuff that just sounds like it's just a job now instead of passion or drive.
hmm.....actually, everything about them is awesome:) and their music does not just sound like "a job." they are talented musicians and are great performers...

the new stuff isnt psychedelic enough. and its missing the 80s influence. I liked how they mixed 60s and 80s. This just sounds like 60s poppy rock. Although this track is alot better than the other new songs they have showed off, which sound like the kooks or something terrible like that.
sometimes if it isnt broke, you dont need to fix it.
However, im all for musical evolution of an artist. But to me, MGMT created some great songs right?
So they have a pretty unique style for today. Why must they conform n produce songs that sound like everyone else? Maybe they will sound better on album, but right now im disappointed.

Have you listened to "Viva la Vida or Death and All Of His Friends"? I'd say that's a pretty expansive album on Coldplay's part. Thanks a lot to Brian Eno of course, but still, they are very very well put together and a lot more than just some acoustic guitar/piano driven dribble. MGMT is just boring. I don't see any life in them. I don't believe they care about what they're playing. Check out Yeasayer, they are all great friends, way better band in my opinion.

coldplay is the worst band on the planet and their new album is terrible, coldplay fucking blows, i hate them almost as much as the killers... but not as much as michael jackson
coldplay isnt boring,they have their style and keep it thats why people like them, i love mgmt because listening to their songs makes me feel on drugs, their style is physechedelic
@jeager22 They are psychedelic I agree. I once saw Coldplay at V festival a few years back and they were so perfect about everything it was like listening to their album. I like music to have a bit of soul put into it. I find Coldplay playing cold when they play live. So yeah maybe they should smoke some pot. They'd probably make some great music.
Fair play mate. I like it anyway. Iknow it sounds a bit Kooksy but its also got that Dick Dale B52s surfer feel to it.I look forward to the new album. And I hope it aint a carbon copy of the last one. Peace out!!!
If it wasn't for artists musical progression, Radiohead would still be playing mediocre brit-pop. Thank god they put Pablo Honey behind them. This new MGMT doesn't appear to be that great though, but we'll just have to wait for the album because they really do suck live.
thing is I wouldn't say they suck, just that their live performances really don't represent the records that faithfully. Not always great, but that's what I like, they're free to play all their songs differently live. Nothing worse than being stuck. So who knows, it will definitely sound tighter like on the first album, but I know it'll be good.. but yeah live they seem almost too free.
thanks for your opinion but you cant change a single fucking thing so keep your pointless comments to your self, just because you dont agree with me that i enjoy to take drugs and listen to this band is none of your business you art fag
I LOOOOVE MGMT, but I would appreciate it if you defend them without advocating seeing them with acid. I have no problem if you drop acid. I'm just saying think about what you just said. It makes it seem as though as if the only way you can discover they're greatness is via dropping acid... Do we really need DRUGS to prove that they're great. People will not be able to think for themselves ever because they are too ignorant to do so. Let them be comfortable in their ignorance-- so much easier.
@ThursdaysChiId Actually this new album has echoes of some of the early floyd stuff with Syd Barrett.. It's obvious.. It's Working is more like a fusion of Tear Drop Explodes with indie I suppose.. Brian Eno is blatantly like supercharged Syd Barrett
Try BAN, MOD GIRLS, fantastic new pop tune!

That does not make any sense. MGMT sounds nothing like Pink Floyd and you cant be serious about comparing MGMT to PF.
Not that i don't like MGMT, there are better bands then MGMT in my opinion. Animal Collective and Deerhunter are better in my opinion.

I mean early Pink Floyd, "Piper at the Gates" era, they sound a little like them.
And Animal Collective and Deerhunter kick ass, as well.
