wow, very surprised about this rating (Pitchfork loves James Murphy). this album is great however and will buy it next week.

Have this on preorder from Amazon for $7.99, no tax or shipping costs. Not bad?

release date purchase !first time in a long long time i have done that.and unlike others here, i have not heard any of it, except the live later version of drunk girls, so hoping for a quiet afternoon @ work so i can just soak it all up.

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.

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

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 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
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".

"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.

hahaha I just looked at that picture and was like "... after the first track it goes totally fucking awesome, and that's unfortunate?"

Hah, I figured someone would bring that up.
Image was a search result for "falls off a cliff" or something similar...

i think you really need to be at the right place to "get" drunk girls.. for me it was in radio shack
