finally someone AGREES that the MGMT self-titled is actually pretty good

I agree

That’s pretty mean Death seems like a pretty cool guy

I've literally never heard anyone say anything positive about the self titled album until now

Alec Price their self titled album gets lots of praise from the hardcore fans. I even prefer it over the debut.

Plenty of girls in the sea and alien days are great

Little Dark Age may actually be my favorite MGMT songs ever.

This is my favorite song of all of the songs that have been created, I'm not kidding. That's so good and chaotic, I don't know how to express myself about it

You're one of the only good nu-wave of youtubers who have the "video essay" format. Instead of being fake deep and pseudo-intellectual you break down things in a way I can appreciate. Good job man. You're only getting better with time

Wasn’t expecting to see you here! I also had no idea that this channel had music related videos on here, I found this guy because of his Bioshock video.

What a beautiful analysis, not only behind the music itself but the philosophy and thought put in it Thank you

I feel like this band would have been way bigger if it existed in the 70s 80s 90s awesome lyrical genius not just the right time

Thanks for making this video. I finally understand what the song "Little Dark Age" is all about. I've been hearing that sounds in tons of clips on the internet as edits with a take on topics ranging from masculinity to Warhammer 40k and I didn't understand what it was all about and why that song in particular. I guess people used it because it's cool because out of context (if you don't know the other songs on the album) you might never understand what the authors wanted to sing convey.

Trying to be ironically pop is a career death sentence. Nobody who likes pop would get the cynical aspect of it, and they'll love it. Your most hated song will become your most popular, and you'll curse the day you made the decision every time you're forced to play this song in every live performance of yours. The song will be the thing you'll be remembered for and by. Don't do that. Don't be ironic.

For a true artist it's about expression, not popularity. Be as ironic as you like.

As much as they wrote some of those early hits "as a joke", I don't get the feeling that they didn't like them.

LforLight or make the music you want to make and be creative. Saying “don’t be ironic” is akin to saying “follow the formula and don’t make whatever you want”

Even tho they're pop-esque they're still great songs, and both Kids and Time to Pretend had some pretty insightful lyrics to them, and were memorable cause of it. Here's an idea, maybe they were popular because they managed to combine interesting lyrics with genuinely great songwriting that appealed to a great deal of people who otherwise aren't into MGMT's niche sound? Maybe more artist who want to be successful should learn how to bridge the gap between making accessible songs and injecting their own creativity like MGMT

This was really lovely. I much appreciate your analysis of the music, it gives a lot more meaning

thorough, and very thought out. great analysis of the album my friend. really brings the project together, and shows a deeper meaning to what can, at times, go over people's heads.

great vid, great album. thanks mika for a solid experience once again!

LDA is a masterpiece, so much good music coming out this year.

Same here, as a whole, I may not love their self-titled album as the others but it's still good. And the truth is I got interested in MGMT with those 2008 hits but Congratulations makes them be my favorite (also after several tries). A little bit nervous before LDA released and now I'm glad and relieved that it is solid as it comes.

Best video about the album I have seen so far. Thanks for sharing

4:36 yoooooo. I never even thought about it like that

This. Looked. So. Good.

Thanks for the recommendation man! Will totally check them out whilst on my morning commute, fighting off my existential dread and nihilistic outlooks on life

Great video! First analysis on the new album I've seen, really enjoyed it.

thanks for piquing my interest in MGMTs lyrics! Their poetry seems really more thorough and carefully constructed than they did before you layed out the story of this album the way you did! awesome stuff! Great video. hope you're somewhere you can feel happy!

Great video dude. This subject is something that once in a while drives me nuts and I'm happy to have watched this c:

This is the best guide ever! Thank you! I want to hug you for that and congratulate you in person!👏👏👏🙌

Great video, explained very clearly and with a excellent editing

You are my favorite Furry, Mikasacus

Omg yessss fave youtuber talking bout fave album this year yessssss

This has become my favorite album of the last year at least. So much intensity in these lyrics.

Nice vid. Just got back into MGMT again after a few years and i really like this new album.

One of my favorite interpretations of LDA! Congratulations is also a personal fav. Cannot wait for their new LP!

This album is great and you’ve done a great job dissecting it

Is this simply your interpretation or actually what mgmt really wanted to convey? What you said is the best description I've ever heard. Amazing Video... damn

This is the best analysis of an album ive ever watched

Lovely video. Really like your interpretation of this stellar album.

LOVE THIS DUDE!! thank you for this and have a great life :))

Wow I’ve deadass been missing the whole meaning of this album until I found this video

I love their newest album and I love your perspective it makes it even more cohesive

Very interesting analysis... Cool to see how others interpret the album, I love it

Wow great video... Really touching

How you don't have a million subscribers is beyond my comprehension. Keep up the creativity.

It was this video that got me into MGMT all those years ago, thanks

i very much enjoyed this video. thank you.

Wow, I just started to listen to mgmt in the last couple of days, great video as well.

Great video man! Really like their new LP too

First Mac, then Brockhampton and now MGMT! Love your taste in music

lo. agreed

i was so happy when i saw this in my feed

Thx. This almost everything I'm thinking about this album.

You are what I would concider to be the modern existentialist. Your defiant thinking and extensive analysis on factors of life are what make you one of my favorite KZreadrs. Thank you for this video.

This was a well considered, well said review. Thank you. Subscribed.

That's felt so good. That's for giving this album even more meaning :)

An interesting interpretation. I never thought to look at all the songs as a sort of story, but I think there's some merit to it.

What an insightful video. Good job.

thanks for this. i really need it.

Excellent video.

Phenomenal video🌙

great video man! this is my first exposure to your channel

This was a really nice video, Thank You :)

Very good job, very interesting interpretations, congratulations !

Amazing video, real valuable content here

And now it became a meme that I wanted to understand, but was all about death, I guess??

Wow, your videos are amazing

God bless this channel

This is really really nice!!!

MGMT has been my favourite band for 4 years.

I LOVE U MIKASACUS

You're a pretty cool guy.

Great video man 👍👍

oh it slaps!!!!!! lmaoooooo love u mika !!!!

the timting is so perfect, me and my friends were all just talking about death and stuff and then u come out with this, heh

You really can't go wrong with MGMT, they always suprise and amaze even with their constant sound change. They're great, I love it. Your vids are great too ❤

Nicely done!

Best review ever

I’ve been listening to the album nonstop since it’s come out and your analysis on the whole album shed SO MUCH light on the topics of the album. THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO I COULD KISS YOU, YOU GENIUS.

So crazy seeing this bonkerrsss

nice. i just love this album!

one thing left to try is probably my favorite or 2nd favorite mgmt song.. it's suuuch a banger and the lyrics are so raw

Oh I love you

For me little dark age is their best song

thank you very much for that video bro. :)

Congratulations was amazing

Hey, could this maybe become a series? I really enjoyed this video! Or you present some albums you really love? Or maybe just one album... please?

this was great

Wonderful video

I love your videos

Youre So underatted man

Watching while in probably the darkest moment of my life. No one is going to die, no. It's just that if that thing were to happen, my life will change so drastically I won't recognize it anymore. I still hope for that thing to not happen, but yeah thank you, I will save myself the stress, enjoy, and accept if that thing finally come for me.

good video

Love em

i wish i could explain to you how much i love this video. (also, yes - self-titled is a beautiful album)

just gonna skip over me and michael, james, and days that got away? aight cool whatever

I also enjoy the self-titled album. This is a good video

These guys remind of me oczy mlody, and Jest (there is) in particular.

I already liked this album now I like it more

This definitely was there best album in my opinion

I listen to kids literally every day.

“ ohhh it slaps “

Imo their albums just keep getting better and better. Though I do have a special affinity for Congratulations, especially Siberian Breaks

The video was loading and I saw that zoomed in pic and thought "how much you wanna bet it's gonna start with Me and Michael as the intro song" and boom I was right LOL It's such an energetic intro to a song.
