Fantastic album, last night actually blew me away. New York I Love You made me weep. Sniffle.

I just

I just am unable to process why anybody would dislike LCD Soundsystem

I just don't get it. How can you not like this stuff? What is there to dislike?


It's trash for the most part

Ugh I guess this is what happens when you let yourself gain a really personal connection to anything

I suppose the 'bricklaying technique' isn't for everyone. For me, I love the way the songs build...especially All My Friends, just so so epic.



Awesome review by the way dude, did James Murphy justice So glad I saw them at Reading in 2010. Bit pissed that I don't live in NYC though.

Yes, because I obviously listen to nothing else. But who knows, maybe my "appreciation" for electronic music just makes me hate this. I find it to be boring and uninspired. I mean this album is the exception, but only just

I was being serious... If I wanted to hear an electronic album this is not what I would listen to.
I wasn't trying to offend you.

Yeah, I mean, I hear that they're "boring" a lot, which I guess has some merit



But innovation is not the be-all end-all of good music



And this stuff just feels right to me

Why do you have this rated as both a 4.5 and a 5.0, Conrad? Are you trying to say it's more of a 4.75?

there is an extremely large amount of unwarranted hate for LCD Soundsystem around Sputnik and it's pretty much been like that forever.

even as indie rawk has taken the reins a bit more here, this is one of those bands whom I feel are always underrated.



that being said: this is far and away not a perfect record--but I can also see myself listening to it 20 years from now. So, yeah.



also if you rly like Talking Heads I would refuse to understand any dislike for LCD.



I will miss these fuckers : (

I have it rated as a 4.5 because that's my personal rating, but there's no way I could get away with writing that review and not giving it a 5.



One of these days, I might bump it up, though. It's one of those albums that really had an impact on me, ranking alongside the White Album and Homogenic/Vespertine for me in terms of "importance".

Makes perfect sense, there are so many gems on this record. Even if the back end is a bit lacking.



Their first record was probably what really got me into New Wave after its release during my senior year of h school. man I bumped "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" so much that summer.



and yes, I agree Conrad, this is definitely a 5 review ; )

excellent as well, if I didn't point it out already.

I don't think Murphy even has a "perfect" record in him; the flaws in his stuff (mostly songwriting-related) are as essential to the music's success as the perfection (mostly sonically minded)



I mean, This Is Happening is actually a lot more pleasant to listen to than this, but it doesn't have QUITE the same impact for me.

again I agree. Murphy's flaws, in my opinion, add to the allure of LCD.



I think I prefer This Is Happening overall comparatively. But "All My Friends" is their best song ever.

Just find a rip of last nights concert...makes every LCD release ever inconsequential by comparison
