"This Is Happening": the third album by LCD Soundsystem

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

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.

cuz it sounds like lumpen britpop with beered-up football chanting? completely completely sucks, even the so-called groove is tedious

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

cue nme 'rock is back' lcd cover story. music is bullshit

jams murphy is in the gutter

i remember it were all beats around here

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

i thought about "it were all the field around here" but eh

It were all Fields of the Nephelim round here...

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

is this gonna leak before he comes up with a name? considering how many people seem to have heard it...

This is Happening.

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?

haha what a terrible corporate buzztitle and lame franz-ferdinand-inspired cover art

what a disaster for lcd

could they be any more corporate

i mean hes wearing a suit

RIP indie

can't believe jams sold out and went w/ an unironic corporate buzztitle and decided to be inspired by franz ferinand

corporate buzztitle

oh good, there's enough zinging going on here to cover me too

good looking out, guys! ^_^

looks like "this" isnt happening at all, unless "this" is "a corporate buzztitle"

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

ILM cynicism strikes again!

I like the cover

i would love it, if it werent inspired by franz ferdinand

^^^remembers when indie wasn't dead

reminds me a lot of lodger : david bowie.

i believe that was inspired by franz ferdinand as well

seriously lj, do you sometimes sit there and think to yourself "let's see, what is the most speciously infuriating thing I could write to make my fellow posters sprain their eyeballs from reflexive rolling" before you post?

hahaha at Bowie travelling forward in time and being inspired by Franz.

franz ferdinand was born way the fuck before bowie

Also was about to say it reminded me of Low onwards Bowie, later period Roxy Music and suited-and-booted New Pop.

and his death inspired bowie's nazi period

can't believe LCD is inspired by Beck

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

how many photos will be subjected to tilted chiaroscuro shops with 'corporate buzztitle' annotations in the coming months

zero

damn

no ILM meme potential sorry

TVOTR release new album 'Everyone Together' ft. b/w Tunde reclining on bed of blank CDs

no ILM meme potential sorry

which buzztitle is the most corporate:

• this is happening, by lcd soundsystem
• is this it, by the strokes
• franz ferdinand, by the franz ferdinand
• smells like teen spirit, by nirvana
• meet the beatles, by the beatles
• the fifth symphony, by beethoven

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

smells like teen spirit, by Beethoven

smells like a corporate buzztitle

also pretty sure Tunde is just b

I was thinking of making this joke, but then I didn't

dude missed out on the prized l0u1s jagg3r demographic by not calling his album "ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore"

Is This It is such a look-what-a-hip-hyped-new-band-we-are-and-this-album-will-be-huge title. Don't know about corporate buzzkill though.
