Cool! Although I thought they said they weren't going to release any singles off the album and just let radio play what they wanted?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a major label is not going to let them do that. They'll promote this band for all its worth considering the buzz they went through with the last album. My big thing is just finding out how they actually wanted the name pronounced....I never bothered looking before and always called them "Management" only because it made sense in my head. Now I have to get used to it......why didn't they just call themselves the Oneders.... Didn't help that they were once known as "The Management"

I've never actually heard anyone call them "Management," typically when I hear people talk about them they refer to them as "M-G-M-T." But whatever, I'm more interested in "Lady Dada's Nightmare."

I had ONLY heard of them referenced in name as Management until I recently read that's now how they wanted it pronounced. I mean, it's an easy pickup considering that they were named The Management before and MGMT is just shorthand for it. I thank them for the confusion.....not that it matters....and not that I'll ever stop calling them Management :)

I think Letterman introduced them as "Management" when they were on. But Mgmt with just the letters one at a time is what I've heard all DJs use. I wonder what Mgmt says?

It is cool that they're coming back so quickly (even if their last record is literally several years old now). Hopefully they can make more of a complete album this time around; it was pretty obvious on Oracular Spectacular where the hits were going to be. I mean, there is seriously nothing else on that album that could have possibly become a hit.
Can't wait to hear it.
And yeah, I was convinced for the longest time that the two DJ's I heard on the radio pronouncing their name by acronym just didn't know what they were talking about. Not so much anymore. But I never found out for 100% sure.

I'm not too excited about this. I loved the debut, and especially the preceeding EP, but from all the descriptions of the new album, it sounds disastrous.

Exicted about this. But, wait... there are only 9 tracks on the record? That's strange.

I honestly feel like MGMT are capable of making an amazing album. And if I enjoy this lead single enough, I'll go ahead.
Anyone seen the cover art? Cool stuff.

Okay...
So after first listen, this one's going to have to be a grower. It seems a little all over the place and in some parts not in such a good way. We'll see how it plays out in future listens.

Hmm, yeah, my first impression tells me that while this will initially blow up on Alternative radio simply because of the success of their last album, it might not exactly be as big as "Kids" or even "Time to Pretend" or "Electric Feel".
I know that massive radio play probably isn't what MGMT was gunning for, but yet and still.... to me this is a small disappointment.

It's almost as if they were purposely trying to make a song that completely sucks. I still haven't decided if they have succeeded or not, but right now I think they might have.

I liked it although it is a grower. To be fair though, it's really hard to compete with the 3 amazing singles from last album.

I can't listen to the song from here, and in the long run, I'd probably prefer for the song to be great, but I tell ya, I laughed so hard watching this Krusty Klip today. :).

I can't believe the clip I was thinking of was actually available on YouTube. I only wish it had been sandwiched between Krusty's setup and his reaction, but thank god his reaction was available as an isolated sound file. You don't see the cigarette he was smoking when the camera cuts back to him, but you at least hear his voice instead of me typing it out.

I like this, though it's different than what I was expecting. The whole thing is very 60s psych/70s prog influenced. I wish I could think of what specifically it reminds me.

i've only listened to this like four times and it still sounds similar to some of the average filler from their debut i really hope the other songs are all 10x better because as of right now i won't be purchasing this album but of course i'll wait to hear the rest of it and the actual clips before i make such a decision, cause for all we know this could be the worst song on the album.

Saw that. They didn't really say I'm sorry for writing the song, they said they're sorry for how everyone is feeling about it, and for some reason they felt the need to justify it by giving their reasoning.
