"Christmas I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down", way boring

It's the worst type of song they do. So dull.

Outside of New York how many songs like that have they done? Agree it is pretty dull

last album had a few

ah maybe not actually, i was thinking of dance yrself clean and "somebody's calling me" but i guess something kinda happens on those

so... the reunion is happening after all? coachella one off?

'Never as Tired as When I'm Waking Up'?

ahhh, but I dig that one!

I mean it's hardly a highlight of the album but IMO way better than this one

yeah i like the token ballads on the albums.

oh god a reunion would be so corny

Thanks for bumping this thread, because even though I don't care about the new song or any reunion, I'm listening to "Yeah" right now and it's just as great as I remembered.

One of my fave bands in recent memory, but why can't groups just stay broken up anymore? LCD took less time to reunite than many acts take between albums.

It does cheapen the whole Madison Square Garden thing, which now looks more like a cash grab than the emotional ending it was constantly billed as. It will be interesting to see how Murphy justifies it all.

yeah this stinks tbh. if it's true which it might not be?

come on it's just one dude, every day he decides to jam on his keyboard at home, 'lcd soundsystem is back together'

Nah, he reunited everyone for that single. This isn't NIN or GNR.

well he's nice enough to use the same people but if 'reunited' without and given band member, nobody would care.

it'll probably be ok if they treat it similarly to how NIN did 'we took a break from touring like we said we would after our big farewell shows and now we're going to continue making music from where we left off' etc but if there's no plans beyond the festival circuit cashgrab and that dull christmas song it'll come across pretty sad especially after only 5 years.

err 'if he reunited'

and 'without any given'

LCD could not successfully reunite Nancy or Pat

it'll come across pretty sad especially after only 5 years.

They only existed for nine years

oh noes the sublime artistic integrity of lcd soundsystem has been cheapened

anyway when they split he said they'd play & record again, but he didn't expect to make albums and tour the same songs for 18 months again

yeah it would be cool if they just became a studio band from here on out, I thought it was the touring that really wore Murphy out

There's no "if" about the reunion. They're playing a whole bunch of festivals and perhaps other dates in the US and Europe this Spring and Summer, starting with Coachella and running until at least July. Coachella isn't even the only one they're doing in Southern California.

Not that any statement was necessary given how obviously premature and therefore faux was the purported breakup, but anyone who thought it wouldn't happen (or who invested any sort of significance in that MSG show) missed Murphy telling you at the time that it probably would. When he decided he wanted to soundtrack the NYC subway and realized that he needed a lot of money to do it (and a lot of money he's getting), it became a no-brainer.

Not to suggest that there's nothing silly about investing any significance in a TNG Talking Heads knockoff with a more bearish, less bright frontman in the first place

So this whole thing is to help fund his subway project?

TNG?

it's a hairdressing term

Oh, star trek The Next Generation

gabbers has a point, tbf

So this whole thing is to help fund his subway project?

Does the fact that it might help fund a fairly-unlikely art project make you feel better about the idea that they're willing to be paid millions of dollars? I'm led to believe it was part of the impetus, or removal of indifference.

They were so sad when we broke up
But now they're mad
That we're not

he goes on a bit like but fair dos

wow, really did not expect a new record to be part of this (or the motivation for it).

He should set that post to music.

Great footage

(of last night's first-show-back i should say)

I suppose I am glad to have them back, but I was a bit bummed their setlists have been pretty much song for song identical since reuniting, including last night at one of the Lollapalooza-related club after shows. I enjoyed it fine, but don't say you're getting the band back together because you have more to say or your work isn't finished or whatever and then hit the clubs and festivals with a set in stone setlist that pretty much feels like an exact continuation of what you were doing for but with less spontaneity. Also, the world weary shtick doesn't quite play as well after you've prematurely reunited. If you want to be back you've got to try a little harder to make it look like it was something you missed, imo. Murphy was good and sounded good, but he sounded most enthusiastic telling everyone that Derrick Carter was DJing downstairs if they really wanted to dance.

I listened to "Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up" this morning. They should start closing their sets with that instead of "NY I Love You"

Two new songs out today

http://www.factmag.com/2017/05/04/lcd-soundsystems-call-police-american-dream-stream/

If I had to play spot the reference (with a band that all but demands it), I'd say that "Police" song sounds a bit like the Psychedelic Furs (and would sound better with Butler singing).

a friend pointed out "Call the Police" sounds a bit like this '80s Fleetwood Mac number, which seems like the sort of thing Murphy would quote:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70FTf_OHuR0

"Call the Police" sounds like LCD meets Bowie's "Heroes" to me - there's even a Berlin reference in it. Love it so far although I wish the ending was a little crazier.

Still need to listen to "American Dream" some more.

he sounds like Wayne Coyne but i like it.
