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?

D'oh for being the only person who likes the cover. It's no New Amerykah pt 2, but I think it's dapper.

the vocal harmonies are great, definitely a lodger thing going on
but yeah i'm put off that the shout is "drunk girls" but that probably doesn't matter

the thing is, a certain proportion of girls at any given time are in fact drunk, so ... it's not offensive

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there? any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

The problem with that proscription is that you can add "yeah" on the end of anything.

xpost Come on it's Jams Murphy - he subject to different criteria. Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga called their hotly-anticipated album 'This is Happening'.
Although i kind of see yr point.
