Anyone see the show? Hear the new songs?
― bmus, Friday, 9 April 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link

OH MY GOD, someone sold me a ticket at face value (!!!!!!!!!!) and I got to see LCD Soundsystem at a venue that legally holds 498. And was undersold. They only played two new songs and most all of their singles including LOSING MY FUCKING EDGE. Was dancing so hard during "Yeah" I thought I was going to pass out. The opener (Light Asylum) was really good too. Accurately described as a "gothy Yaz" fronted by Grace Jones. Easily one of the top 5 shows I've ever seen in m'life.

its a good album but people who disliked the more obvious homages in the past are gonna be hatin.and yeah don't worry as with the last album, the single is by far the worst thing on it.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 9 April 2010 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
I think "Hit" is the worst thing on it. The way to not-write-a-hit is to write a good album track, not to write an altogether shit song.
― bakerstreetsaxsolo, Friday, 9 April 2010 22:29 (fourteen years ago) link
But see, "North American Scum" was the *best* thing on the last one...

so who's *heard* the album? i scrolled down through this thread and sudenly everyone's banging on about crisp packets!
― piscesx, Saturday, 10 April 2010 11:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm listening to it now. It's better than the first, not as good as the last. It's like a trendier version of the last album with a lot more vintage equipment and a couple of New Wave, Cars-esque tracks that plod slightly. A lot of synth porn. The Bowie/Eno/Fripp homage/pastiche All I Want will annoy some people with its e-bowed guitars... But other than that it's ace. The opening track is a jam. It fucking explodes from Kermit the frog mope indie into some kind of monster Moog rave. One Touch is killer, acid-y Juan McLean style fare, I Can Change is Units/Devo style synth pop with more emotional Tyrell Corporation, New Order as done by Jams vocals and Joy Div Atmosphere style flourishes, the we-don't-write-hits of You Wanted A Hit is a bit awkward and sounds like Yellow Magic Orchestra that suddenly goes a bit New Wave/disco after a while and is a bit VICE mag, Pow Pow is a drum jam, heavily phased with lots of call and response like Yr City's A Sucker but takes too long to build despite having a nice punk funk bass line, Somebody's Calling Me sounds like The Normal or early Human League and Home is really deeply pleasant afro electro with a cocktails in a hammock listening to Martin Denny on valium vibe. There's a lot more of that tight harmony,
And Drunk Girls is one of the less good songs but isn't that bad...
Some other things it sounds like Dinosaur Sex by Family Fodder and Brainwash by Telex. In fact a lot of his vocal work has *always* sounded like Telex...

the major homage/rip other than the White Light and Heroes Fripp guitar ones is the track near the end that is basically Nightclubbing

amazed by how much that telex song sounds like lcd

Guys you are making me so fucking eager and excited about this. I wonder if I can call DFA and tell them I'm a Very Important Person and ask to come in for a preview.

ALL I WANT is just.. sensational. It's the b side of Drunk Girls and i thought 'well they're mad to have left THIS off the album'... but no it's on the damn thing as Doran points out.
― piscesx, Monday, 12 April 2010 18:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Dance Yourself Clean is so good. I've liked all three of the songs that are out there so far, really excited to hear the whole thing.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 12 April 2010 19:13 (fourteen years ago) link
One of those sounds like "Love is a Stranger" by Eurythmics.

Not crazy about these first three tracks though..prefer LCD in dancefloor-banger mode. He should've dropped this 'emotionally resonant' stuff and made another 45:33!
God I hope I'm not sounding like some change-contrarian, I just don't think he does these melodically-driven tunes so well. (See also, the Greenberg soundtrack).
Also, I Can Change lovers - look at how the tracklist structure mirrors Sound of Silver's successes (for its supporters). Longish dance-oriented song with a shifting arrangement to start (Dance Yourself is much more melodic though, Fever Ray comparison was right), into the snappier, accessible single. Track 5 seems to be shaping up as an emotional core/centerpiece for all his albums (Never Tired fits this I too, I would argue). Although he may be writing the wrongs of Sound of Silver's arguably less essential second side by putting Pow Pow at 7 (looking like an 'event' track, note Liverpool Echo preview and initial single release) and an upbeat tune at 9. The point is though, does I Can Change really measure up as this vital moment in the same position as All My Friends? Although we all heard All My Friends for the first time within the context of the whole thing leaking at once, so maybe Change will seem more impacting once we've heard the whole thing properly in full quality.

one of these is arguably his best dancefloor-banger to date!
― iatee, Monday, 12 April 2010 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Hmm, I get that people are loving that one in particular but it seems more head-nod to me than anything.
