9.2:
This is also by far the bloodiest LCD Soundsystem album-- a series of bare, lacerating manifestos about distance between people, set to the fizzing art/dance-rock greatest hits inside Murphy's skull. "Love is a murderer," he sings on "I Can Change". He's not kidding.

After all, Murphy has done what all other music fiends only dream about-- he's flipped the system and become the embodiment of coolness. This is a phenomenal coup.

I know critics are supposed to analyze words and all that shit, but COME ON.

Listening to this album again for the first time since it leaked. Totally did not realize how much I loved these snappy synths in "Dance Yourself Clean"

I stopped by the record release party at Smart Bar since it's a block away and picked up the CD for a discount. Everyone looked about 22 years old. It's cool that a pudgy 40 year-old can still attract that audience. I should have bought tickets when they went on sale even though I don't plan to go, because they're now selling for $75 and up. Metro and other places have begun overselling shows again, and I'm sick of it. I hope it doesn't take more people dying in a fire to bring places back to code.

Finally listened to this proper. Really loving it.

DRUNK GIRLS
― long time listener, first time balla (history mayne), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 14:54 (sixteen years ago)
you can't front on that
they/he still hasn't quite got the songwriting right
45:33 and the pre-first-album 12"s are still his best longer tracks
would rather hear actual hit attempts than 'you wanted a hit' (10 fuckin' minutes?)
― long time listener, first time balla (history mayne), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:12 (sixteen years ago)
oh man, just picked this up at the rekkid store. no joke, "Dance Yrself Clean" is great

It's a great opening track, unfortunately the album goes like this afterward:

One Touch and I Can Change are the only tracks I really like
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:42 (sixteen years ago)
The only track I didn't like was the one whose title I can't remember but was the track on the album most sonically similar to "All My Friends".
― Have a slice of wine! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:44 (sixteen years ago)
"Drunk Girls" totally works as the second track -- i didn't like it in isolation, but right now it sounds awesome

Don't really love or hate this album, but that "nightclubbing" track is probably the worst.

Hah, I figured someone would bring that up.
