generally do not advocate audience recorded youtube videos (and in truth this one is as bad as most of them) but they debuted (afaik) Dance Yrself Clean last week and it looks like it was awesome.

I'm avoiding listening to anything from this album again for a quite a while after seeing that video for Home.

I don't know what it is, the colour grading, or how everything is framed, or something, but it looks like a bank commercial.

so true. this video makes me feel uncomfortable and 'marketed' at. shame it had to happen to my fave song on the album

Not so much the video for me just reminded me i haven't listened to the album for quite a while and didn't inspire me to do so.

so far behind on this album, butdid anybody else say that 'drunk girls' sounds like a bastardized cover of 'boys keep swingin' yet?

yea i have no idea why but i really like that video. "pow pow" was one of my favorite songs on the record, maybe that has something to do with it

Anybody heard the London Sessions or the Alexandra Palace thing?

London Sessions is alright. Nice version of Get Innocuous.

I haven't felt the urge to play anything on this album since a few weeks after it leaked. Complete dud, imo. Sound of Silver covered all the ground this one covered but better every step of the way.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
it's held up for me, and a lot of the songs have really grown...i think the only thing holding it back is the sound of the record. the tones of most of the instruments (drums especially, i guess) are on the generic side, not as huge as on the s/t or as raw & vintage-y as on SoS.
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Opening track, I Can Change, and closing track are as good as anything he's done, and Drunk Girls is great fun. Everything else here is good. It's better than the debut for me, but not quite as outstanding as SOS.
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I play way more songs off of this than I do off of SoS, which I edited down to an amazing 4 track EP

I completely agree with this. I still get a lot of This Is Happening, it will be very high in my albums of the year list.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i'll have to get sound of silver, i dig this so far.
― kl0pper city in the ghetto (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link
S0S has four songs that are way better than this and a bunch of ignorable shit on it

DJP, is your 4 track SOS EP: Get Innocuous, Someone Great, All My Friends and Us V. Them?
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Get Innocuous, North American Scum, Someone Great, Us V Them
I really, really really REALLY hate "All My Friends"

yeah, North American Scum is a gimmicky bullshit track just like Drunk Girls. They're both pointless and annoying.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link
and also awesome
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
North American Scum is the fun parts of Daft Punk Is Playing At My House with the irritating sections removed and a fun "NORTH AMERICAN!" chant thrown in

Walking around Greektown and the UIC campus in Chicago last month on a crazy windy day while listening to this really opened up the album to me. I like it better than the debut (I gather we're not including the second disk of singles there) & yeah, I think I'd put it on before Sound of Silver at this point. also lol @ "this is like a record that is for people with Good Taste In Music" & that was pretty much exactly what I thought on that day in Chicago (& naturally felt kinda self-congratulat-y which is a good feeling to afford yourself once in a while, delusionally or not).

― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
no
some of their songs are ok...Yeah, Get Innocuous and Someone Great really have good things about them...but All My Friends, just no.
would complain about this being the sound of mediocrity winning but it ain't worth the argument now, they're gone, and the million copyists will have to be fought instead
― rmad and dangerous (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
lj/djp bitter hatred of that song is inexplicable to the point of lol
i can understand the cale cover, the hua hsu (iirc) exegesis and other tributes seeming excessive, and the central piano motif will irritate some people
and yet ppl hate it worse than cancer & hitler

forgetting the lyrics entirely, it has a keening preening manipulative tweeness and a strict, stupefying adherence to the melodic/narrative tenets of new order that drive me to dislike exceptionally quickly - it's big and cloying and inevitable
