C'mon.  People look at this at work.  Can you put a nsfw tag in your post, and add the link and NOT embed the image?

MGMT
11/27, no venue announced yet but somewhere in DC
 ;D
Woo!  :)

They are playing Stage AE in Pittsburgh.  Isn't the 9:30 Club the D.C. area's equivalent?  Or Constitution Hall?

maybe y'all missed the part about MGMT sucking balls these days:

I wrote them off a long time ago, after seeing two dreadfully boring performances from them (Bonnaroo and at the 930 Club).  That being said, I kind of liked the Letterman video.  The song had a nice mellow/psychedelic vibe to it. 
Edit:
I really enjoyed their new one.  Its really good.

I went back and listened to the second MGMT album yesterday.  Not bad, but the new one is definitely better.

But how does it compare to their first album?

I barely remember the first one.  If I remember correctly, it had a couple of "hits" and a lot of filler.  The new one was filler less.  The second is probably my second favorite.  And the third is my current favorite.

Oh I love the first one and hate the second one.  First one seemed original to me and the second seemed like a retro 60's sound.

So far I only listened to two and three once time each, so my opinion is only going off of my initial listening.

Three definitely ups the 60s/psychedelic factor.

The first one had a few overplayed songs, but I honestly can't remember the rest either. I remember fucking hating the 2nd one. Will have to grab the new one and give it a spin. Thought they were boring as shit when I saw them live a couple years back.

what'd you expect? it's fun music, but i dont know how they could make a live act worthwhile out of their music.

i think there second album was one of the most underrated albums in the past few years.  it got a lot of playback from me.

I don't know, the tickets were free, so I wasn't disappointed or anything. It was boring.
