maybe i am deaf but this doesnt sound so far removed from anything else theyve done that itd be received with so much derision

Well, I don't actually *like* LCD Soundsystem to start with so it's no surprise I don't like it, Max!

it sounds pretty far removed from the lcd songs i've loved - "yeah", "losing my edge", "tribulations", "beat connection", "get innocuous", 45:33...

mm ok that makes more sense i guess

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.

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!

we have a black president, and you do not - so shut up.
Is this a lyric or an ILE post?
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 March 2010 11:58 (3 years ago) Permalink
It's the ILE board description now, anyway.

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.

Yeah this song is horrible. A 40 something old man singing about drunk girls, give me a break. Terrible song.

the "girls" are all the guys in the band living in the house in LA according to pitchfork

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

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!

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 (3 years ago) Permalink
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 (3 years ago) Permalink
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.

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 (3 years ago) Permalink
this is the lead single though unfortunately
― nakhchivan, Friday, 26 March 2010 17:34 (3 years ago) Permalink
which means 0 in 2010
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 26 March 2010 17:40 (3 years ago) Permalink
could mean that there is more of this stuff

studio clips may or may not reveal what the rest of the record sounds like?
via their youtube channel

i have to imagine that they'll play at least a few (if not a bunch) of new songs at coachella in a few weeks
― Violent (J0rdan S.), Friday, 26 March 2010 20:50 (3 years ago) Permalink
This is sorta the same way I felt about the first single from the last lp - "North American Scum" to me was horrible, and I thought 'what the F is this crap' for a first single. Then heard the album and thought it was great. But still didn't care too much for that song though.
― van smack, Saturday, 27 March 2010 00:14 (3 years ago) Permalink
cuz it sounds like lumpen britpop with beered-up football chanting? completely completely sucks, even the so-called groove is tedious
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Friday, 26 March 2010 12:42 (Yesterday)
agree with this after hearing drunk girls and that AWFUL pow pow song. horrible macho shouting with some background sneering. hope the rest of the album isn't like this.

"Drunk Girls" sounds tossed-off, formulaic LCD by numbers...He's done this style before as others have pointed out

Anyone would think they'd turned into Cold Chisel or Rose Tattoo.

It were all Fields of the Nephelim round here...
― Doran, Saturday, 27 March 2010 16:08 (3 years ago) Permalink
haha there's always been a strong rose tattoo element to lcd.
i've never really liked the monotone barky side of LCD so was hoping the new stuff would be more emotional disco like 'someone great', 4533 and 'all my friends'. or even the bouncy pop of 'yeah' and the deceptacon remix. the two i've heard just seem more of the usual dry detached plodstomp, with added jockrock. looking forward to hearing 'dance yourself clean' though - i've never been the biggest fan but when they're good, they're awesome

Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?
