As an old dude that grew up in the 70s and 80s, I still love a lot of 21st cent. bands. MGMT is one I have liked for years. Just here to say this should not shock the young millennials, this song and many of their song have a retro-sound. This is very 60s psychedelic pop. When I hear songs like this, I can't help but think of early Pink Floyd (60s Syd Barrett days).

For those who keep saying they are on drugs or they're not on drugs blah blah blah. You should actually check out their interviews from that era. Â One man who interviewed them had to this to say. "Perhaps predictably for a psych track, 'It's Working' is also about drugs. What's more curious, however, is that it's not about LSD. It's about all the ecstasy the boys regret gobbling up in the early throes of their success." Listen to the lyrics as well. "How will I know if it's working right?" Â As someone who has been in their shoes with ecstasy abuse this is very fitting. Â The visuals at the end also help this case with the fact that the machine swallows Andrew and Ben whole which is a pretty simple metaphor for addiction.

such an underrated album... one of my all time favs. So many different styles of melodies and hooks mixed together. MGMT were like lets put out an album that is just fun, crazy and upbeat to listen to! with all sorts of different semi poppy melodies and strange eclectic lyrics that will drive our weird fanbase nuts ... You either LOVE or hate this album there is no grey area

Here, you focus
So I can see your faces
The eyes are wrong
How will I know if it's working right?
Light confuses
The tiny isles of bruises
The mangled lines
I see the signs of aging
But if I try to feel at all I am deceived
My mind's affected
It's empty now
As I lay down
I feel alright
My heart is racing
Turn the noise on
I'd like to feed my poison
Assembly lines
Carry a velvet warning
To the yard
It's just like striking matches
The polish lies
But it's working in your blood
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind
And not your heart
No, it's working
It's working in your blood
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind and not your heart

"It's just like striking matches" is one of my favourite moments on this album, which, incidentally, is one of my favourite moments in music of all time.
