''MGMT'' is the self-titled third studio album by American psychedelic rock band MGMT released on September 17, 2013. The album features a variety of unique visual elements to accompany and illuminate the new music via "The Optimizer", which provides listeners a simultaneously aural and optical listening experience featuring video and CGI work, and is available as part of an enhanced album package on all commercial formats. ==History== On September 27, 2010, an interview article in ''Spin'' quoted them as saying that they will have less freedom on this album, claiming that Columbia was not happy with the reception of the band's second album, ''Congratulations''. MGMT later denied these statements in an email to Pitchfork, who cited the article on their own site as a side note to a different story, stating that they were not "even close to starting the process of making a new album," that "label-relations are currently quite friendly," and finally telling readers "Don't believe everything that you read (even on Pitchfork.com)." In an interview with ''American Songwriter'' published on November 8, 2010, VanWyngarden and Goldwasser said their third album will be self-titled, and that "usually if we say something and it gets published, we stick to it. That's what happened with ''Congratulations''." Regarding the content of the album, Goldwasser said “Something that’d be fun to do is have a decent number of songs on the album that can easily be extended or have sections that could turn into a really trance-y, repetitive thing live.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MGMT Reveals Third Album Title In Nashville )〕 When in Argentina to perform on January 22, 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=MGMT in Argentina )〕 they told Rocktails they have worked on some sounds but that there are no clear ideas yet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=MGMT in Argentina )〕 On February 28, 2011, they told ''Coup de Main'' magazine that they will be on tour until April, when they will begin work on demos for the third album.
