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

ALL I WANT is just.. sensational. It's the b side of Drunk Girls and i thought 'well they're mad to have left THIS off the album'... but no it's on the damn thing as Doran points out.

Dance Yourself Clean is so good. I've liked all three of the songs that are out there so far, really excited to hear the whole thing.

One of those sounds like "Love is a Stranger" by Eurythmics.

LCD Soundysystem (Feat. Bono) - "I Can Change"

By the way I absolutely love that Telex song earlier in this thread. I downloaded the first three albums and they are just fantastic!

I love this place

clip 5 even

xpost to Kitchen Person :)

Check out Family Fodder too

Not crazy about these first three tracks though..prefer LCD in dancefloor-banger mode. He should've dropped this 'emotionally resonant' stuff and made another 45:33!

God I hope I'm not sounding like some change-contrarian, I just don't think he does these melodically-driven tunes so well. (See also, the Greenberg soundtrack).

Also, I Can Change lovers - look at how the tracklist structure mirrors Sound of Silver's successes (for its supporters). Longish dance-oriented song with a shifting arrangement to start (Dance Yourself is much more melodic though, Fever Ray comparison was right), into the snappier, accessible single. Track 5 seems to be shaping up as an emotional core/centerpiece for all his albums (Never Tired fits this I too, I would argue). Although he may be writing the wrongs of Sound of Silver's arguably less essential second side by putting Pow Pow at 7 (looking like an 'event' track, note Liverpool Echo preview and initial single release) and an upbeat tune at 9. The point is though, does I Can Change really measure up as this vital moment in the same position as All My Friends? Although we all heard All My Friends for the first time within the context of the whole thing leaking at once, so maybe Change will seem more impacting once we've heard the whole thing properly in full quality.

prefer LCD in dancefloor-banger mode.

one of these is arguably his best dancefloor-banger to date!

Hmm, I get that people are loving that one in particular but it seems more head-nod to me than anything.

first song is a rip of the Pool's "Jamaica Running"

This thing leaking or what?

Looks like it must have just, actually...

Yep it's on what, although my ratio watch runs out in three hours. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick!

Yeah that's where I'm seeing it. Maybe since I'm hopping on it so early I'll get some ratio boost for once. That freeleech helped a ton, though.

I was out of the country with my computer turned off for the freeleech :(

This thread is going to get good..

what's the size of the file on what

161.65 MB for 2556 VBR AAC. Seems about right...

..er, 256 VBR.

word, alright

zeno, you should try reading the thread or something

Where abouts has this leaked? I'm not seeing it in all the usual places?

it's for those who don't use torrents

still not via slsk

Heheheh nice to see a what contingent on ILM. Only fishy thing is that I thought the last track was 'What You Need' and it's called 'Home' on the file.

ah, good ol "ETA ∞"

Well, maybe home IS what you need...

I found an apparent file hosting site link for a similar size, but I can't post that here right?

no

No but you can AIM me, cough cough. IGNafterburn.

i found one on google blog search that's 148 mb

does not knowing how to steal music anymore mean i'm old now?

yep

This is a nice surprise, though, after I just attended the last class of my undergraduate degree!

I'll listen to this before I go grab a few pints with friends. Good fucking afternoon.

:/

Good fucking afternoon to you to sir.

rennavate I just sent you a PM with the http. Did you get that all right? Also, what was your degree, if that's not too weird!

Someone has put up a link to the album on LCD's last fm page, it works!

you mean: this is happening?

I'm still kind of an ILX noob; how do I check PMs?

My degree is in English literature with a minor in creative writing. I enjoyed it but I'm sick of analyzing Victorian poetry.

you mean: this is happening?

How has it taken this long for someone to say that?

xpost Woo I'm doing English too, I start my last term of the first year in a couple of weeks.

I'm not starting this critical commentary until I've got a good listen in to LCD heheh

xp check the last.fm page, it hasn't

James Murphy is crying on his dirty white jeans right now and most likely eating ice cream directly from the container.

Poor Jams. If the music thing didn't work out, he'd definitely be an ILXOR.

"All I want" is incredible.

Got your link, Davek, but it was already killed. I'm in no rush, though, so this torrent will do.

But yeah, that's cool you're doing an English degree too. If I ever go back to do a masters, it would be in journalism, I think. Which would mean I would have to move to Vancouver to go to UBC, as my school doesn't have a journalism program, but that's fine. I am quite enamoured with that city.

Downloaded it now...can;t wait to be slightly underwhelmed.

neither can we
