Ah goddamnit Jordan beat me to it. Didn't want to start a new thread because an official title isn't confirmed. This can be our official talking spot!

Hah. This song is weak though. What did we hear first of Sound of Silver...it leaked in full before any singles were hyped right?
― Davek (davek_00), Friday, 26 March 2010 00:25 (3 years ago) Permalink
i think "north american scum" & "daft punk" are my two least favorite songs on their respective albums, so i'm not putting too much stock in this
i do think it's pretty good tho -- it's sort of surf-rocky? also i dig the refrain even tho it's kind of cheap -- solo is cool too
― Violent (J0rdan S.), Friday, 26 March 2010 00:28 (3 years ago) Permalink
This track is wack in a pleasant way, even the self-plagiarizing ("North American Scum" at the 1:30 mark). I do keep expecting him to go all RADIO ON like Jonathan Richman.

to be fair, I've read a track-by-track of the album which claims this is by some distance the worst thing on it

& there is a clip for another track here http://www.juno.co.uk/products/Pow-Pow/386997-01/
this sounds more like a typical drawn out dancey lcd song a la "yeah" (not to make too much of it)

Dear God this is awful. Sounds like fucking Weezer or some shit. Worst LCD single BY FAR.

The track-by-track article is encouraging. Doran on another thread also repped the first track in particular.

Okay I've completely turned myself around on this song. Even more concise and loveable than North American Scum. As for influence-spotting musical references, I hear early 80s Belew-Fripp in the solo and as the song crescendos I'm immediately reminded of one of my favourite bands, Stereolab - the juddering two note bassline, analogue synth drone, vocal harmonies. I'm going to listen to it again.

The band didn't break for over a half hour after the first set? Maybe they cameback but it was so boring that I didn't notice? I think breaking up the sets like that was NAGL.
i'm kind of amazed someone who imagined 2 half-hour DJ sets in a show that featured no DJ sets would still be offering their opinion on the show's quality.
― da croupier, Monday, 4 April 2011 12:49 (2 years ago) Permalink
like, sorry you didn't enjoy the show you weren't watching!
not to mention that if you were "plotting your escape" before they played "I Can Change" you were plotting said escape before the third song in the setlist

That video doesn't relay just how AWESOME the big moment in Dance Yrself Clean was. I was up on the side and could see the whole arena. Explosions of glo-sticks and an anticipatory yells from the audience. I was feeling really ill and was sure I shouldn't have gone until that moment. So worth it.

I spent some time with this album today and it hit me pretty hard. Even the stuff I'd been keen to skip ("Drunk Girls", "Somebody's Calling Me") resonated especially deep after giving this album some distance. Definitely my favorite of the three.

I'll credit the band for recognizing that altering (or in this case, halting) its momentum allows you to take a break and appreciate its albums all over again, minus the distractions of tours, news, interviews, hype, upcoming releases, etc.
