"This Is Happening": the third album by LCD Soundsystem

neither can we

Wicked. I'm at UCL in London. This place is pretty inspiring to read sometimes as an English undergrad right, with all the OTMs being dropped.

I'll pm you a fresh link fwiw

Downloaded it now...can;t wait to be slightly underwhelmed.

I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?

Wow, wow, wow so pumped for this, thanks ILM for pointing me in the right direction.

In the meantime, I'm listening to this new Herbert. Pretty chill.

i was on ilm when the third lcd soundsystem album leaked. i was there.

God my predictions/analysis up thread are going to look so stupid :(

I've heard 4 songs and they all suck. Hope one or two of the remaining 5 are decent.

^^^^^^^

James has already turned 40.

ilm i love u

but you're bringing me down

I'd like to see production credits on this because i'm starting to think that the real genius of LCD was Tim Goldsworthy. He's had his little bear paws in so many honey pots that his fur is permanently sticky. David Holmes' Let's Get Killed, Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours, Hercules and Love Affair, all the best UNKLE shit, Major Force, oodles of DFA gems.

After the first pass, the only song I really like is You Wanted A Hit, can tolerate Pow Pow and Home, don't care to hear the rest of it again.

he's prolly not the 'real genius' but it seems like JM needed him

ilm i love u

but you're bringing me down

Is is just me or are all the vocals pretty low in the mix?

they are
this seems actually rly rly nice

They're all right on "I Can Change" (which is pretty awesome), but on others they're really stuffed behind things. Probably his intention, I know, but still.

did tim goldsworthy have anything to do with 45:33?

TIH sounds like the minimalistic (the production is thin and boring) ,mellow version of Sound Of Silver. the energy is gone.

disappointing.

"i don't think that we would be pleased with this, we have waited for a long time" (One Touch)

last 4 songs are bangers

I've read Gavin Russom had a heap to do with this record. Looking forward to hearing it, even if it isn't SOS v2.0

EMI is pulling these videos down real quick.

45:33 production credits to The DFA = Tim and James.

Okay I'm hoping its just the low quality stream linked from Pfork, but the vocals sound AWFUL on "Dance Yrself Clean". Doesn't even really sound like him to me.

no it's him

as to what's lost with tim goldworthy, maybe some of the production chops, judicious editing, someone he'd trust with 'are you sure you want to do this?' etc - gavin russom presence wd explain oldtime synth workouts

this certainly doesn't seem like a major dissapointment though....

Slowly catching up on this thread and can't believe this wasn't posted earlier (unless it was and disappeared already), ljs favorite band name EVER:

http://www.musicomh.com/music/videos/does-it-offend-you-yeah.jpg

Yeah, I know its him, it just sounds so different in that stream.

Feels So Good is about a billion times better than anything on This Is Happening. Juan + Nancy are crushing James and uh...Gavin, I guess.

After first listen... not too bad at all!

Somebody's Calling - WTF is this song?

cant believe you guys are downloading this corporate buzzleak

this is so great

If someone could PM me a link I would be very grateful.

can a mod just delete all the hundreds of posts of people asking for illegal stolen versions of someone's hard work and expense, and let the thread stay quiet until people can actually listen to the album?

welcome to ilx!

People are listening to the album right now.
