"We'd rather people hear the whole album as an album and see what tracks jump out rather than the ones that get played on the radio – if anything gets played on the radio!" Goldwasser explained. He added: "There definitely isn't a '[[Time to Pretend]]' or a '[[Kids (MGMT song)|Kids]]' on the album, but there might be a 'Hawkbot' or a 'Party in Your Bedroom'. We've been talking about ways to make sure people hear the album as an album in order and not just figure out what are the best three tracks, download those and not listen to the rest of it."<ref name=nme49280>{{cite web | url=http://www.nme.com/news/mgmt/49280| title='We're not releasing any singles from our new album'| publisher=NME | accessdate= January 25, 2010}}</ref> ==Confirmed tracks== * "Song for Dan Treacy" <ref name=nme47888/> * "Brian Eno" <ref name=spin/> * "It's Working" <ref name=spin/> * "Lady Dada's Nightmare" <ref name=spin/> * "Siberian Breaks" <ref name=spin/> * "Congratulations" I love MGMT aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh <ref name=spin/> ==Music Videos== It's Working (TBA){{fact|date=February 2010}} ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.whoismgmt.com/ Official website] *[http://mgmt-congratulations.com/ Congratulations Album Blog] {{MGMT}} {{2010s-indie-pop-album-stub}} [[Category:2010 albums]] [[Category:MGMT albums]] [[Category:Upcoming albums]] [[fr:Congratulations]]'
