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?

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

"pow pow" is fucking hilarious btw
not really feeling this tbh, why does "pow pow" exist when we already have "yeah"?
― Simon H., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 05:32 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

Really enjoying Dance Yrself Clean on first exposure.

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
pretty sure in the past he's said he just sort of comes up w/ shit on the spot iirc

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

But His lyrics have always been upfront, I mean structurally these are pop songs.
― Jacob Sanders, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:19 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― No, YOU'RE a disgusting savage (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 07:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Also dude don't capitalise the h in his like Murphy's God, even by accident!

For Tribulations he's quoted as saying this is what he did. I'm sure a little more thought goes into most of his lyrics.

i think murphy is a pretty terrific lyricist for what its worth

actually the lyrics are meaningless, haven't you read Barthes? god.
― jabba hands, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 12:05 (fourteen years ago) link
The lyrics to Losing My Edge are probably close to best of that decade. Even with Yeah coming as the next single there was a lot of thought went into it. I.e. to disabuse people of the notion that they were this really wordy bunch of ultra-ironists by releasing something very straight forward and simple. He doesn't strike me as someone who just pulls stuff out of his arse, no matter what he says.
― Doran, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 12:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Drunk Girls sounded terrible last night. I was not feelin it at all. the other new songs were also pretty lame but i dont remember how many they played
the show was pretty stellar otherwise.
is it jsut me or does Gavin Russom look exactly like a young Brian Eno???? dude is definitely channeling him with the 'doo
― Kyrgyham (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 14:05 (fourteen years ago) link
^^is russom in the band? or am i misunderstanding? he's definitely channeling eno yes, but he's not feminine enough i think :)
― willem, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 14:47 (fourteen years ago) link
he's co-producer which could mean anything. i dare say he plays a lot on it but he's not in the band.
i really like this. it's much more full on than SoS and the production makes it sound really fresh. Tim Goldsworthy had nothing to do with SoS but i liked the way that record sounded too. Jams is a greatly talented producer in his own right. "Home" sounds most like LCD started out sounding (w/ the cowbell etc) but Russom has made it a bit more fruity.
there have always been a few (very few) duff lines on LCD records but he's a great lyricist who sometimes fails because he tries to connect very directly with the listener with a mix of humour and pathos and when you get that even slightly wrong its very conspicuous. i usually grow to love those missteps though.
― jed_, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah he's in the band
