"Those days taught me everything I know... how catch a feeling, and when to let it go..." - The best part in entire fantastic music, these lines has so many means, it's an art work no doubt.

+Gabriel Passos That's exactly what I think! This is an unique experience....

+Gabriel Passos It's funny you just wrote that because I posted the same comment on the music video. Don't forget "In the Summer, virgin visions..."

Sometimes the windows combine with the seams in a way That twitches on a peak at the place where the spirit was slain One foot leads to another Night's for sleep, blue curtains, covers Sequins in the eyes That's a fine time to dine Divine who's circling, feeding the cards to the midwives Who love those alien days The nonstop alien days Ooh the alien days Must've skipped the ship and joined the team For a ride A couple hours to learn the controls And commandeer both my eyes Hey! Be quick dear, times are uncertain One month crawling, next year blurring Decades in the drain Monograms on the brain Decide what's working and what's moved on To the last phase The floodgate alien days I love those alien days Mmm... the alien days When the peels are down, it feels like traveling in style You don't need wings to hover forty ton stones for a mile And in the summer, virgin visions Mindless humming Numbers can't decide if the day's supposed to smile Today find infinite ways it could be Plenty worse It's a blessing but it's also a curse Those days taught me everything I know How to catch a feeling And when to let it go How all the scheming, soulless creatures Can't find dreamer's honey in the hive If it's right beneath the nose And when the light is new The sky shows trembling cartoons You don't need smoke to cover Most of the world in a gloom But here comes racer number 7 Watch my fingers ripping out the lines If it looks like we could lose If it looks like we could lose If it looks like we could lose If it looks like we could lose

I'm gonna say it. This is my favorite MGMT song ever.

Everybody's all like "I miss "Kids"! C'mon MGMT, go back to your old stuff!" I like their new stuff however.

[@monicaestrada646]

I-Review Music this song is waaaaay better than kids, in my opinion

[@ianscottorosano214]

Exactly

[@andrewwilson1975]

I-Review Music Exactly, I like their Oracular Spectacular album too, especially Weekend Wars. However, I think that the album after was much more artistic and yes, almost Pink Floyd like.

[@MLElf]

Awesome tune and video - love all the albums, I think the 2nd album is their best

[@Landonias]

I'm baked. I'm diggin this, but at the same time I'm really scared.

[@AnzableChar]

I...I dont know how to make this song better, MGMT was one of my favorite bands in highschool, their upbeat slightly mellowed two toned songs kept me sane, OS was nice, Congratulations even better, and this..this is fantastic, its so pleasant to watch MGMT evolve and grow into this wonderful song of emotion.

[@notveryrea1]

The intro gives me 'nightmare before Christmas' and 'corpse bride' musical vibes. I used to watch those movies religously as a child. This whole song is nostalgic.

[@TitaniumSubscriber]

I thought my monitor was broken when the video starts

[@TOOVOOT]

"decide whats working and whats moved on to the next phase" reminds me of "its working" and how their change in style always resonates with their fans

[@Schlopytoppy]

I love having alien days

[@vegan4theanimals]

Picture this, a few summers back I was really depressed and as usual when i'm depressed I hit the music shop. The Handshake plays on the overhead speaker and the biggest smile shows on my face, I start tapping my toe and after it was over I was like "oh my god... I need to know what that was!" I go over to the lady working the music stand and she tells me who it was. That night I listen to Oracular Spectacular and that's when I realized, "this is probably one of my favorite albums."

[@v3lv3lv3lv]

wow this song is great.

[@ennikleinad]

What I appreciate about MGMT is that they do what they want to do, they aren't making music that is very radio pop friendly even after the success of a few of their earlier songs, they make the music they want to make, and I think that is beautiful and very respectable. And I just so happen to enjoy the stranger psychedelic tunes they manke.

[@roadtonever]

I took my daughter to see these guys at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI; then, a few weeks later, went to see Rush with some buddies. While both were great shows, the energy and vibe by MGMT was off the charts... that crew has their stuff together, without a doubt.

Omg, thats EXACTLY how i discovered Oracular Spectacular. It was about 5 years ago, i was suffering from teenage angst, and i was in a music store just playing around with the mp3 players and "Weekend Wars" started playing and i fell in LOVE and wrote down the name of the album so i could give it a listen at home. Still one of my favorite albums till this very day and it always brightens my mood.

[@Antiwarsdreamer]

164 aliens disliked this LOL

[@davidbg16]

honestly, i wasn't waiting for something as good like this. they've overpassed my expectations. I really like the influence of the 60s-70s rock of bands like Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Gong and Hetfield and the North. And when we have influence of bands like that, the results will never be wrong

[@ianbaker5254]

Where are the views for this song? I mean their early songs weren't nearly as good as this, yet got many more views. Proof America has lost musical taste.

[@ianbaker5254]

It was still good, but I think this song is much better than "kids" for example

[@TehMarche]

The album is fucking awful, that's why it doesn't have a lot of views. Still, though. I like Alien Days. Just not the S/T and Congratulations album. And yes, the population lose interest in "good music". Welcome to the mainstream music industry, where it has been and always will be the same

[@MatthewLiguori]

@Ian Baker: I get your question, but it's not the views that matter in this case. Ever since the works of Shakespeare, the masses have attracted to the lowest common denominator. This is not to say that MGMT's earlier works were bad (I loved them at the time), but they did in fact pander to the (now referred to as) EDM crowd. After "Oracular Spectacular" their transition to this new, abstract formula was signposted by their single, "Metanoia" (look up the definition if you don't understand). Keeping their dream alive, they boldly released "Congratulations," an album that got horrific reviews from their original fan base (probably because they couldn't take drugs and dance to it at a club); Not being sellouts, MGMT cared more about the music they liked producing than making even more money than they already did! This new self-titled album is the next logical progression, and I strongly admire their latest work (I play the first half of this album on repeat all the time). TL;DR: quantity has zero correlation with quality; always has, always will.

[@MatthewLiguori]

O i guess it's Ian Baker not @Ian Baker lmao

[@ianbaker5254]

I love all their music, but to me their first album is the worse. I don't think the 3rd album is bad at all.

[@HotStrange]

Oh yeah. Lyrically, this is their best work. Even musically is pretty fascinating. It's definitely a grower. I like it more with each listen. As of right now Plenty of Girls in the Sea, Cool Song No.2, and Introspection are my favorites.

[@Matador28MR]

is it me or MGMT the album wasn't that good, but at least a couple songs LIKE 'Alien Days" are in it. love this band no matter what! ;)

[@edelliot]

Personally MGMT takes a giant massive crap all over ween. Just my opinion. Not in same league even.

[@TargetHippo]

I love the route they're taking. It's not often that you see a popular band drift away pop music over time-- usually it's the other way around.

[@corypothier]

I was at there show here in Vancouver last week. If you ever get the opportunity to see these guys don't pass it up. They played Alien Days at the very end right after Siberian Breaks, what an epic way to end it.

[@nickfromCO]

mad respect for these guys for making the kind of music they want to make and not giving into the pop pressure because of a few singles from their first album.

[@angeldustbin]

MGMT has a lot to say and that's what makes a lot of their songs amazing. They have very sober lyrics laid over jovial beats, which is my favorite thing about them.

[@swinnburn]

This music's just pushing me back to my garden I've neglected, now the plants are crying out to this song!!

[@aa-vc9hg]

Sophisticated music. I love the alienness of this chord prog... i feel like i can see much more spectrum of color

[@JuicyPlams]

Having heard every MGMT song at least 80 times each, I'll happily let you know that Hot Love Drama is their best song.

[@synysterjazmyngates]

I love this song, it's probably the best one on the album (I love you too death is great too) I wish more people would appreciate this album

[@TheCaligirl100]

SERIOUSLY! you said it man..and that goes for many bands..you cant expect them to sound the same forever

[@x1337xPANDAx]

The reason people don't like this album is because some peoples minds can't comprehend this god like music. Stay Gold MGMT!!

[@robertclark9946]

My message to MGMT would be take you're time and release the album when it's FINISHED. If this is how the album is going to sound i wouldn't mind waiting until september. Perfection takes time.

[@TheMaggieist]

I love the little girl's voice in this. Makes it even better.

[@JLeeL1]

I like the dull dropping of tone of the music and vocals. Works great with the tiny melody too :)

[@daveteves]

Me too! I was kinda surprised with the kid singing in the beginning. I was used with Andrew doing it after I heard the live version. But anyway, it eventually grows on you. The song is really beautiful. MGMT FOR LIFE! xD

[@turgatron]

mixed emotions about this.. craft/quality is excellent. wanna hear it again but in the context of an album. glad to see they are still creating though and pushing to make a new sound.

[@LPacman1429]

I've given up trying to convince my friends that MGMT are more than a synth-pop band. Of course, like most things it's all about subjectivity but I truly believe MGMT (Along with Tame Impala) make some of the most awe-inspiring music available today. It's such a shame people judge on the first listen because even i'll admit Congratulations took me 10 or so plays to get. The child singing the intro to this song was a wonderful surprise having heard the live version first.

[@12johnman1]

David Fridmann's fingerprints are all over this song. Very heavy percussion and distorted guitars. Love it.

[@MusicRoberts]

Love it! I don't care what any critics will say about it. They were wrong about congratulations and they will probably be wrong about this album too. This is brilliant. reminds me of Syd Barrett when that guitar and drums come in

[@ToxikInfektion26]

The people who dont understand this album are only mainstream fans if you can tell mgmt are going into the 60s pink floyd\doors psychedelic direction. Which is just brilliant. They are bringing back dark psychedelic music.

[@jjbwoodpushaz]

saw these guys live. SO GOOD. SEE THEM AGAIN ANY DAY

[@netofindra]

I haven't listened to mgmt in a long time. This song's lyrics are still so amazing! Hope they are doing well!

[@simmaeaefibes4890]

[@TheLaRouxxx]

I completely have to agree! Metanoia is their most, best, greatest ever work.

[@daveyjones5957]

Everyone should just relax on the whole keyboard warrior thing.. At the end of the day it's music, amazing music, and should be enjoyed for what it is. If you really do appreciate the records MGMT release, then I don't see how other peoples opinions can bother you, or affect your personal listening experience. Anyway, I'm excited to hear the new album! I hope they release it very soon!
