@John Cincy yeah but lsd is a drug you might not wanna try in a big crowd. If you feel like getting out there and you can't, the feeling can turn everything into a horrortrip pretty fast. lsd is something you mostly take with some friends in nature or something. ofc that doesn't mean there aren't ppl who would use it on an event like that. I just mean it can backfire really bad.

As a fan of all, and I mean all, MGMT's stuff I get a bit annoyed by some so-called fans hating on this track, and the other two "hits". They are brilliant in their own right and the contrast between this and something like A Good Sadness, for example, is why I love this band - they do various musical styles so well and I'm sure if they had a mind to they could easily put out another album like OS. But they do what feels right at the time which is what all good bands do.

'so-called fans' hate the track because MGMT themselves said they hate the track
