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

falsetto!

I love that "You Wanted A Hit" sounds like LCD Soundsystem pastiche

POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW

oh lol this is the "we have a black President" song, hahahaha

omg, loving this so far

"Somebody's Calling Me" is a big pile of nonsense, huh

i've never liked them outside of the singles before but that first track is like: fucking hell

how many songs is 'one touch' quoting then

I was going to say: "Wait till you hear the one that sounds like `Nightclubbing.'"

oh I am so so glad that he realized ending the album with the downtempo half-baked joke of a song idea from Sound of Silver was a terrob;e idea

when i get to the end of this album i am going to try very hard to like this track just out of contrarianism

have fun with that

hey shut up, i am busy pre-emptively convincing myself it is great here

somewhat agnostic re his vocal stylings on 'one touch'

not feeling 'you wanted a hit' so much

ok redeemed by near-skronk guitar break

ok 'somebody's calling me' is starting

... maybe it's a grower

no. it's just bad (the track)

lol

I love it but I'm the unabashed fanboy w/r/t this album. the drugged out synths are awesome.

The line about Michael Musto in Pow Pow is awful. We should poll the most ridiculous lyrics on this album but i'm not sure if the polling system allows that many options.

Not sure he thinks this, considering "NY I <3 U" is an LCD concert staple and fan favorite.

"somebody's calling me" is pretty worthless

I got as far as All I Want and stopped listening - not really feeling this at all and I loved Sound of Silver. It feels a bit like he's forgotten how to construct a good groove. It took me until halfway through the first track to work out whether or not I was listening to a fake leak.

"somebody's calling me" is pretty worthless

Petition to J. Murphy to change song title to "Somebody's Calling Me Out"?

more like "Somebody's Skipping Me"

daaaaaaaaaamn dance yrself clean

debate over, buying this on release day

ok drunk girls is really dumb but i don't care because his shit still sounds better than anyone else's shit

I got one of my coworkers to stream this.

He hated "Drunk Girls" but likes a lot of the rest of it (he's up to "I Can Change"). The comment that made me go O_o was "this is pretty good for the most part, kind of Lightning Seeds-ish"

do u think james murphys hair looks like that naturally, or does he use product?

he uses a piping hot bowl of grits iirc

word?

you wanted a hit sounds like....aeroplane?

i'm kinda wondering what the last song to be added was (jams tweeted that it was done, and then a couple days later that they were doing one more song)

'all I want' or 'somebody's calling me' are the only ones I could imagine being written that quickly

did Jerry drum on this because the live drums on One Touch are among the best LCD drums (saying a lot, big fan here)?

or Pat?

Someone please seed this thread

The comment that made me go O_o was "this is pretty good for the most part, kind of Lightning Seeds-ish"

this and the nineties thread amaze me with america's capacity for absorbing the uk's forgotten popkult shite

that is an amazing comment!

I'd take the first Lightning Seeds album over the LCD debut and This Is Happening.

srsssly xp? cos it kinda is

i don't know anything about the lightning seeds, if i ever i did, except that they were english and they were once extant

can't imagine they sounded anything like 'dance yrself clean' tho

yeah nah it's just kind of hilar

lightning seeds never been much of a hipster reference point iirc

That link made me feel guilty abt downloading it and now I sort of want to delete it and wait til May 17 :( I mean, there's no chance I'm NOT going to buy this.

Listening to this now via the inhouse PA of Easy Street Records -- it's definitely a perfect dance record for browsing and crate-digging (an honest compliment!)

That's funny, I heard the MGMT album in the same context/setting yesterday and it sounded alright!

Music stores, making everything sound good.

Easy Street fucked up the Reggae section when they reorganized. BTW, Ned, if you like Thomas Fehlmann, the LP has a copy of the CD inside and is priced nicely at 14.99 at the back of the store.

The Lightning Seeds have reformed, presumably to make a boatload of money in a World Cup year. Jams Murphy is doing the David Baddiel bit on Three Lions 2010.
