bad song

i really love "All My Friends," "Something Great," and "Get Innocuous," from Sound of Silver, and a bunch of the other tracks are solid, so i'm still going to check this out probably, unless the critical consensus is that it's awful
― ksh, Friday, 26 March 2010 02:08 (fourteen years ago) link
critical consensus will have this album of the year dude
― LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Friday, 26 March 2010 02:13 (fourteen years ago) link
it's LCD Soundsystem ffs
it's LCD Soundsystem's final gift to a fucked-up world
a world where nothing is certain except JAMES MURPHY and his uncanny ability to fuse rock and dance music into universal art that packs a real groove!

All that's missing from Murphy's critbound project is a Daryl Hall cameo.

good song

that single is so so bad :o

i dont understand why its earning so much dislike
― max, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:40 (fourteen years ago) link
cuz it sounds like lumpen britpop with beered-up football chanting? completely completely sucks, even the so-called groove is tedious

This is actually worse than I was expecting. :-/

RIP Soundsystem
maybe i am deaf but this doesnt sound so far removed from anything else theyve done that itd be received with so much derision
― max, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, I don't actually *like* LCD Soundsystem to start with so it's no surprise I don't like it, Max!
― Delia & Daphne & Celeste (Masonic Boom), Friday, 26 March 2010 11:48 (fourteen years ago) link
it sounds pretty far removed from the lcd songs i've loved - "yeah", "losing my edge", "tribulations", "beat connection", "get innocuous", 45:33...
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Friday, 26 March 2010 11:50 (fourteen years ago) link
mm ok that makes more sense i guess
― max, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:50 (fourteen years ago) link
i dont think this is great but ive only listened to it a couple times--seems pretty fun/in-keeping with stuff they do. i can hear the britpop but i dont hate britpop so it doesnt bother me.
― max, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I get what Lex is saying but it's far too effete to be called any serious kind of beer boy anthem. It's quite similar to White Light/White Heat' as done by Lodger Bowie at demo stage or live. Got hints of glam Eno, Wire AND Family Fodder! (And, yeah, it reminds me a bit how I felt about tracks like... Tapes and North American Scum when I first heard them.)
Love Family Fodder!

Is this a lyric or an ILE post?
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:58 (fourteen years ago) link
It's the ILE board description now, anyway.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:59 (fourteen years ago) link
And what's Murphy doing glomming onto Fela into 2010? He should be all about Mulatu Astatke by now.

I was kind of horrified at the start but it won me over.
― skip, Friday, 26 March 2010 12:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah this song is horrible. A 40 something old man singing about drunk girls, give me a break. Terrible song.
― van smack, Friday, 26 March 2010 13:01 (fourteen years ago) link
the "girls" are all the guys in the band living in the house in LA according to pitchfork
― max, Friday, 26 March 2010 13:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I do get that this is a logical extension of his aesthetic/fits within the oeuvre but that's not a reason to like the song imo
― it is just like an unknown puzzle till the end of the world (dyao), Friday, 26 March 2010 13:15 (fourteen years ago) link

i like this song.
p.s. stoked for lj's insight once the album comes out.

lol
caek you'll notice I didn't trash the song - I merely said it reminded me of an Elton Motello classic
but yeah you are right to be stoked - I might even like it this time!
― LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Friday, 26 March 2010 13:47 (fourteen years ago) link
the fact that you think this song sounds anything like the elton motello song makes me think that you have some bizarro sound filter in your head when it comes to lcd soundsystem
― iatee, Friday, 26 March 2010 14:14 (fourteen years ago) link
the basslines, man! also the lyrical content and the vibe. add a load of bright n bouncy synths to the motello and bam
― LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Friday, 26 March 2010 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link
i am sure your opinion of this album will be very interesting, whether positive or negative.

well, maybe not horrified, but it didn't have the wow factor of hearing anything off sound of silver for the first time. seems pretty clear that this is going to be an outlier though, still looking forward to the whole record.

This song is great, you are all mad.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 March 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
This is clearly the joke track that appears 2/3rds of the way through the album though.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 March 2010 17:29 (fourteen years ago) link
this is the lead single though unfortunately

iirc the whole point of him "breaking up" the band was so that he'd have time to work on all the other stuff he wanted to work on
― the mandy moorhols (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:30 (eleven years ago) link
He broke up LCD so that he'd have time to reform them and break them up again.

From October the 8th you can own the documentary and the entire 4 hour concert film (sound mixed by James Murphy) on DVD and Blu-ray. The concert film is exclusive to the DVD and Blu-ray release – you cannot buy it separately. As well as the documentary and full concert the DVD and Blu-ray also comes filled with extras.

Loved listening to the boot of the show, but for the life of me can't imagine who would sit down and watch the four hour concert at home.

i did just that already once! looking forward to doing it again.

The parts of this movie that shows the band & him interacting are so boring and uncool it really hurts me & almost ruins the idea of bands for me
