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?

This has been killing me for the last couple hours. Bruce Springsteen's The River is almost it, but not quite.

it reminds you of franz ferdinand, and corporations

No! I don't even understand that! Isn't Franz Ferdinand's aesthetic like Eastern Bloc propaganda or something?

Man, Franz Ferdinand. Missing 2004 right now.

Riiiiiicola!

any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

Does it offend you?

looool

considering recording music as Does It Offend You, LOL

Cover reminds me of:

maybe it reminds you of that because that's a painting by Robert Longo and the DFA announcement specifically referenced Robert Longo

embarrassing.

I know, right? when are you guys gonna get on that

'Dance yourself clean' could have been a great title imo.

Kinda looks half arsed how James appears to be just leaning on a wall in the photo. Font and Colour of the font seem like a joke, argh...

"we have a female prime minister -- so shut up"

Font and color directly ref some 80s album that's been on the tip of my tongue all afternoon. So yes, probably part of a joke.

love how that line is already bothering british people

it's a gd embarrassing line!

it's the irish who're really feelin' it imo

I want to say something on Rykodisc.

this album is probably gonna be pretty good, i dont really know i mean. yallr gonna hear it like crazy over the next 3-6 months anyway so like feels a bit weird to speculate so much abt it?

this album killed music

At least we still have blogs.

Yeah but Joanne Newstrom killed those.

Oh I didn't know that. Davek upthread was mentioning it reminded him of and 80's album and thought that must be it. Just saw the cover for the "drunk girls" single and the reference is more obvious in there:

Would have been a much better cover with a cartoon James Murphy than a photograph tho.

Ah perfect! Good spot.

the distention

haaaaaaaaaaa

i mean sorry that's bigoted but fuck it haaaaaaaaaaaa

I know, right? when are you guys gonna get on that

who do you mean? my country is on its second female president. the first was in 1990. you assuming i'm british is a pretty good indication of why you don't find that line embarrassing and why even if it's a joke it's a stupid one.

^^^this, even if Jams is being ' 'ironic' '

We have a black president. We don't need irony.

BITCHES! BRITS!

If the line had been "We have a black president, so shut up" then I wouldn't have a problem with it tbh Not gonna turn this thread into the annual LJ-fails-to-understand-race clusterfuck, will duly shut up

my prime minister is brown
my pack of cheese & onion is blue
and i be goddamned if the salt & vinegar aint too

this is beat happening

will never understand salt & vinegar being in a blue packet.

can't wait for this, that track-by-track made it sound promising once you got past the shitty writing.

i was going to listen to this, but now between the corporate buzztitle and the black president-touting lyrics i think im going to send james murphy anthrax

don't you think jams already has a few anthrax albums?

all he has is a franz ferdinand mp3

who do you mean? my country is on its second female president. the first was in 1990. you assuming i'm british is a pretty good indication of why you don't find that line embarrassing and why even if it's a joke it's a stupid one.

it's not a joke, it's an attempt to troll british people like you

and it seems to be working pretty well, considering that the album hasn't even come out yet

i thought lcd was british?

Naw, but they're from the east coast, which is close enuff
