This track is wack in a pleasant way, even the self-plagiarizing ("North American Scum" at the 1:30 mark). I do keep expecting him to go all RADIO ON like Jonathan Richman.

to be fair, I've read a track-by-track of the album which claims this is by some distance the worst thing on it

& there is a clip for another track here http://www.juno.co.uk/products/Pow-Pow/386997-01/
this sounds more like a typical drawn out dancey lcd song a la "yeah" (not to make too much of it)

Dear God this is awful. Sounds like fucking Weezer or some shit. Worst LCD single BY FAR.

The track-by-track article is encouraging. Doran on another thread also repped the first track in particular.

Okay I've completely turned myself around on this song. Even more concise and loveable than North American Scum. As for influence-spotting musical references, I hear early 80s Belew-Fripp in the solo and as the song crescendos I'm immediately reminded of one of my favourite bands, Stereolab - the juddering two note bassline, analogue synth drone, vocal harmonies. I'm going to listen to it again.

I spent some time with this album today and it hit me pretty hard. Even the stuff I'd been keen to skip ("Drunk Girls", "Somebody's Calling Me") resonated especially deep after giving this album some distance. Definitely my favorite of the three.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Sunday, 2 October 2011 05:26 (twelve years ago) link
I'll credit the band for recognizing that altering (or in this case, halting) its momentum allows you to take a break and appreciate its albums all over again, minus the distractions of tours, news, interviews, hype, upcoming releases, etc.

You know, for a dude who ostensibly broke up the band to lower his visibility and take some time off, James Murphy has been surprisingly busy and visible. Movies, making movies, still doin' interviews ...
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link

From October the 8th you can own the documentary and the entire 4 hour concert film (sound mixed by James Murphy) on DVD and Blu-ray. The concert film is exclusive to the DVD and Blu-ray release – you cannot buy it separately. As well as the documentary and full concert the DVD and Blu-ray also comes filled with extras.
