none of these songs feel half as long as they actually are
― iatee, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 00:56 (fourteen years ago) link
i was actually just thinking about how dance yrself clean is the longest song on the album at nine minutes, yet doesn't feel at all demanding compared to the rest of the album.
― phantompenguin, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 02:09 (fourteen years ago) link
oh i guess hit is slightly longer. but still.

this is way less bowie and way more eno

I think it's cause he's usually writing so many pop songs w/ a dance structure - they don't feel like they 'start' until 4 minutes in. 'change' feels like the longest song to me, despite being the second shortest, prolly cause it's a pretty traditional new wave pop song and the chorus kicks in so fast.

walking up to me expecting, walking up to me expecting words...it happens all the time
is the opening line of the record.
― jed_, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 12:22 (fourteen years ago) link
is it the bitrate thing? Or too much expectation? Or 'dude, it's just LCD Soundsystem'. I'm not feeling this record at all

it seems like there are some weird pops & clicks on this version? i listened to the first couple songs on headphones yesterday and it didn't sound quite right. if it's not a good rip then i want to wait for the real thing.

man, "Drunk Girls" is like exactly like "Loretta" by the Nervous Eaters

― dipster purpies (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 14 April 2010 15:45 (fourteen years ago) link
"Drunk Girls" reminds me of QOTSA's "Monster In The Parasol" with touches of Neu!'s "Hallogallo"
― sassy boy, throwin' shade (Stevie D), Wednesday, 14 April 2010 15:52 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, in comparison to the tracks on the official site, the leaked ones i had sound fucked up and shitty.

the stream on the website sounds dooope

All I Want is just gorgeous...his singing towards the end even reminds me of Morrissey.

has lcd soundsystem always been about pastiche? the last album had some traces of bowie, talking heads, etc... this new one seems to be a bit more brazen about it with its cars sound-alike and its straight up ripoff of nightclubbing
― dazzle shjips (Future_Perfect), Wednesday, 14 April 2010 18:50 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry, guys, but this album is endless.

After three listens the guitars and tempos are uninteresting and the vocals listless.

sounds he works with are often very pastiche but on the songwriting level he's always had his own thing going. if you look at 'losing my edge' / 'all my friends' / 'home' on the sonic level, you can pick out 100 musical references, but if you look at them as songs, pastiche is def not the right word. pretty clear and distinctive songwriting voice.

i'd say that was true in the past but the steals are much more obvious this time.
― Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link
what song is 'dance yrself clean' a steal of?

I agree I love that bit, it's odd hearing him really go for it like that but he totally pulls it off. It's my favourite song on the album at the moment.
I am really enjoying the album after a few days, it's a great follow up to Sound Of Silver. There aren't any songs that get to me quite as much as Someone Great and All My Friends did but I really like every song, even Drunk Girls.

More obvious than North American Scums's chorus ripping off Homosapien by Pete Shelly?
I don't agree with people saying they use more pastiches on this record. Great Release sounds just like Brian Eno and his vocals in Get Innocuous! are very like David Byrnes.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 19:27 (fourteen years ago) link
wrong david

per jaxon above, "jamaica runnin" by pool. Kinda sux, because I was loving this until I read that. hope it's credited in the liner notes
― Dominique, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link
so I just listened to that, and yeah, no doubt he straight up takes those drums, just like he did in 'losing your edge'. but that's still pastiche w/ the sounds not the songwriting.
― iatee, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 19:50 (fourteen years ago) link
i think it's replayed, at least?
btw i had never heard of (the?) pool, but "jamaica running" is dope.

― emotional radiohead whatever (Jordan), Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
That's some "Songs written by Bob Dylan"-level stuff if it's not credited.
― skip, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link
All I Want sounds like a Strokes song that "would have been" with Nigel Godrich at the helm. Not a bad thing imo.
― oscar, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link
the vocals are mixed super low on most tracks, huh?

well, re the strokes. hadn't figured in the godrich thing
guitars are more here come the warm jets than strokes
― iatee, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
(imo)
At least on "Dance Yrself Clean," yeah. I made a comment about this the day it leaked... dunno what I think about it.
― rennavate, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
ha it does sound like the strokes -- it has that same guitar-as-keyboard thing that they did on room on fire

First listen left me pleasantly whelmed.
― Dwight Yorke, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah its eno circa hctwj all the way on the guitar but i was referring to the soaring vocal style and emotional tone that julian was trying to pull off on later strokes material. also drum patterns.
― oscar, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
xxxp. totally ! this song just made me think of what the strokes might have sounded like if nigel had been kept on board.
