4	''Return to Cookie Mountain'' is the second studio album by the Brooklyn AlternativeIndie band Music/TVOnTheRadio, released in 2006. It is for all intents and purposes their first album as a full band, with multi-instrumentalist Dave Sitek, guitarist/vocalist Kyp Malone and lead vocalist Tunde Adebimpe having their sound fleshed out by drummer Jaleel Bunton and bassist Gerard Smith. The album produced "Wolf Like Me", the band's most successful single to date.

23	!!I was a troper, before this war:
24	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: "Hours" sounds like it's addressed to someone who's an outcast in this way.
25	-->''You walked around, thought yourself beautiful''\
26	''Just too bad they stared, Just too bad they stared''\
27	''Broke up your crown, called you "unusuable"''\
28	''See how well you fared''.
29	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The music video for "Province" is black and white, resembling an old wartime propaganda reel gone surreal.
30	* EpicRocking: Album closer "Wash the Day Away" breaks the 8 minute mark.
31	* GreenAesop: The "beg the bee's forgiveness" line from "Let the Devil In" refers to the ecological phenomenon of colony collapse disorder, which has led to die-offs of bees worldwide.
32	* HellIsThatNoise: The verse-to-chorus transition in "Let the Devil In" can be rather jarring.
33	* OneWordTitle: "Hours", "Province", "Playhouses", "Dirtywhirl", "Tonight".
34	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The subject of "Wolf Like Me" and its music video, which shows them transforming between humans and regular wolves.
35	-->''Got a curse, I cannot lift''\
36	''Shines when the sunset shifts''\
37	''When the moon is round and full''\
38	''Gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish''
39	* PrecisionFStrike: From "A Method":
40	-->''It's a rough wild world could you please chaperone''\
41	''It's a mind field trip, oh leave it the fuck alone.''
42	* RepetitiveAudioGlitch: The music on "I Was a Lover" is a little distorted, sounding at times like a breaking mp3.
43	* {{Sampling}}: "I Was a Lover" uses a sample from Music/MassiveAttack's "Teardrop". Yes, making it a cousin of the ''Series/{{House}}'' theme.
44	* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: In the music video for "Wolf Like Me", when the werewolves transform back into human form, they're all naked.
45	* SomethingBlues: "'''Blues''' from Down Here".
46	* SpecialGuest:
47	** Adebimpe and Malone harmonize with none other than Music/DavidBowie on "Province".
