Album Review: MGMT - 'Congratulations' (Columbia)
Not quite as mad or suicidal as rumour suggested, the duo's follow-up to 'Oracular...' is more conflicted than courageous
It’s unfair when a new album’s clouded in popular myth before most people have heard it. It’s unfair as, invariably, the received wisdom of industry mutters turns out to be bullshit. So, unless you want to bullshit, DON’T SAY this about ‘Congratulations’ : “Christ, MGMT have disappeared up their rabbit holes with a pig-headed suicide note of an album”; DON’T SAY: “It’s...

MGMT - Congratulations: Wikipedia Album Entry
Congratulations is the second commercial album by MGMT.
MGMT began writing for the album in early 2009 in a "small cabin in the woods", eventually heading to Malibu to record with Pete Kember, ex-member of Spacemen 3, and vocal contributions from Royal Trux singer Jennifer Herrema. VanWyngarden has stated that the album is influenced by the band's massive rise in popularity since Oracular Spectacular's release. "It's us trying to deal with all the craziness that's been going on since our last album took off. Sometimes it just doesn't feel natural."

MGMT - Congratulations Lyrics
MGMT - Congratulations Lyrics
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters of city officials
Attend demonstrations
MGMT - Brian Eno Lyrics
So tired, soul searching
I followed the sounds to a cathedral
Imagine my surprise to find that
They were produce by Brian Eno
MGMT - It's Working Lyrics
Here, you focus
So I can see your faces
The eyes are wrong
How will I know if it's working right?
MGMT - Song For Dan Treacy Lyrics
He spends his time or maybe half of his time
Or part of the time wandering
'Round the creeks and cobble stones
Of hackney lanes
MGMT - I Found A Whistle Lyrics
Hey, I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
And when my noose is tied
I could blow it and fall down into your arms
Fifteen centuries of dissolution and grief
MGMT - Siberian Breaks Lyrics
Sleep as the goer
The bridge that watches the light-speed through
And cries while the spirit stumbles
The inside missile for the protection of you
MGMT - Someone's Missing Lyrics
Someone's telling the toll to me
I'm cut and I'm weeping like a rubber tree
But I don't care who's left behind
Lost revelations that I'll never find
MGMT - Flash Delirium Lyrics
Mild apprehension
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
