we can just start a new thread when the record comes out, change the title on this one again, to "Crisps? (DO NOT READ)", and ban LJ from the new thread.

LCD don't lend themselves to crisp puns. All I can think of is Disco Infiltrator and Wotsits The Tapes.
Which are both shit.
― Doran, Friday, 2 April 2010 19:05 (fourteen years ago) link
The least satisfying thing about this album is not Drunk Girls but the pervasive air of new wave on some of the songs. I mean The Cars are alright and everything but I'd sooner have had more disco punk or another Yeah, tbh.

OH MY GOD, someone sold me a ticket at face value (!!!!!!!!!!) and I got to see LCD Soundsystem at a venue that legally holds 498. And was undersold. They only played two new songs and most all of their singles including LOSING MY FUCKING EDGE. Was dancing so hard during "Yeah" I thought I was going to pass out. The opener (Light Asylum) was really good too. Accurately described as a "gothy Yaz" fronted by Grace Jones. Easily one of the top 5 shows I've ever seen in m'life.

its a good album but people who disliked the more obvious homages in the past are gonna be hatin.and yeah don't worry as with the last album, the single is by far the worst thing on it.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 9 April 2010 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I think "Hit" is the worst thing on it. The way to not-write-a-hit is to write a good album track, not to write an altogether shit song.
― bakerstreetsaxsolo, Friday, 9 April 2010 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
But see, "North American Scum" was the *best* thing on the last one...

― piscesx, Saturday, 10 April 2010 11:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm listening to it now. It's better than the first, not as good as the last. It's like a trendier version of the last album with a lot more vintage equipment and a couple of New Wave, Cars-esque tracks that plod slightly. A lot of synth porn. The Bowie/Eno/Fripp homage/pastiche All I Want will annoy some people with its e-bowed guitars... But other than that it's ace. The opening track is a jam. It fucking explodes from Kermit the frog mope indie into some kind of monster Moog rave. One Touch is killer, acid-y Juan McLean style fare, I Can Change is Units/Devo style synth pop with more emotional Tyrell Corporation, New Order as done by Jams vocals and Joy Div Atmosphere style flourishes, the we-don't-write-hits of You Wanted A Hit is a bit awkward and sounds like Yellow Magic Orchestra that suddenly goes a bit New Wave/disco after a while and is a bit VICE mag, Pow Pow is a drum jam, heavily phased with lots of call and response like Yr City's A Sucker but takes too long to build despite having a nice punk funk bass line, Somebody's Calling Me sounds like The Normal or early Human League and Home is really deeply pleasant afro electro with a cocktails in a hammock listening to Martin Denny on valium vibe. There's a lot more of that tight harmony,
And Drunk Girls is one of the less good songs but isn't that bad...
Some other things it sounds like Dinosaur Sex by Family Fodder and Brainwash by Telex. In fact a lot of his vocal work has *always* sounded like Telex...

the major homage/rip other than the White Light and Heroes Fripp guitar ones is the track near the end that is basically Nightclubbing
