Okay I'm hoping its just the low quality stream linked from Pfork, but the vocals sound AWFUL on "Dance Yrself Clean". Doesn't even really sound like him to me.

he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 00:12 (sixteen years ago)

no it's him

as to what's lost with tim goldworthy, maybe some of the production chops, judicious editing, someone he'd trust with 'are you sure you want to do this?' etc - gavin russom presence wd explain oldtime synth workouts

this certainly doesn't seem like a major dissapointment though....

Feels So Good is about a billion times better than anything on This Is Happening. Juan + Nancy are crushing James and uh...Gavin, I guess.

After first listen... not too bad at all!

can a mod just delete all the hundreds of posts of people asking for illegal stolen versions of someone's hard work and expense, and let the thread stay quiet until people can actually listen to the album?

but i'm also listening to all the songs on the fame monster, not just the (sic), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 02:55 (sixteen years ago)

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 03:24 (sixteen years ago)

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 03:25 (sixteen years ago)

Sensing this was directed at me. Sorry. I found a link anyway. I plan to continue posting here and I have lurked here before, I just wanted to download this album and I couldn't find it.

yall are gonna bitch about the thread being cluttered with 20 posts of people trying to find a leak and not the 200 posts about potato chips?

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:22 (sixteen years ago)

what's wrong with the potato chip posts?

i liked about half the album on first listen. too many songs sound like something they have done in the past though.

Bee OK, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:25 (sixteen years ago)

this is so great

str8 up stunning album imo

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:29 (sixteen years ago)

better than sound of silver

iatee, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:30 (sixteen years ago)

yes

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:30 (sixteen years ago)

"pow pow" is fucking hilarious btw

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:30 (sixteen years ago)

not really feeling this tbh, why does "pow pow" exist when we already have "yeah"?

Simon H., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:32 (sixteen years ago)

there's no "all my friends" or (or "someone great" but i personally never loved that song) but there's also no "watch the tapes" -- every song on this is rad as fuck, even digging "drunk girls" more

if you're gonna ask this you might as well ask why the whole band exists

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:34 (sixteen years ago)

I feel like 'home' is the 'all my friends'

also surprised no review has yet mentioned how penguin cafe orchestra-y it is

iatee, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:34 (sixteen years ago)

and "pow pow" is more like "losing my edge" than "yeah" -- i think jams knew he couldn't try and spin a big payoff out of "pow pow" because then it actually would prob be a lame "yeah" redux

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:37 (sixteen years ago)

damn i guess i gotta download thsi

they've got lots of great distinctive tunes. this is the first record where we get whole-hog retreads IMO, plus some of the departures (IE Somebody's Calling Me) are pretty weak.

Simon H., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:56 (sixteen years ago)

Really enjoying Dance Yrself Clean on first exposure.

Drunk Girls is a Blur homage?!

Drunk girls who like drunk boys who like drunk boys who like drunk girls

Can someone explain to me what he's going on about on most of these songs? If he allowed someone else to write lyrics and sing I would love this album, might even buy it.

Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:00 (sixteen years ago)

Who gives a fuck what he's singing about. Bar maybe 3 & 1/2 tunes I do not come to LCD Soundsystem for words.

No, YOU'RE a disgusting savage (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:06 (sixteen years ago)

pretty sure in the past he's said he just sort of comes up w/ shit on the spot iirc

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:15 (sixteen years ago)

would listen to Stars Of The Lid much more if their lyrics weren't total freshman poetry seminar bullshit

ksh, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:18 (sixteen years ago)

But His lyrics have always been upfront, I mean structurally these are pop songs.

Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:19 (sixteen years ago)

Just because they're upfront, and these are pop songs, doesn't mean the lyrics mean anything. And besides, Barthes would say that they mean whatever YOU want them to (I seem to bring this up at least once a year on here), so who gives a fig about Murphy.
