I play way more songs off of this than I do off of SoS, which I edited down to an amazing 4 track EP

It's better than the debut for me, but not quite as outstanding as SOS.
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, November 30, 2010 9:49 PM
I completely agree with this. I still get a lot of This Is Happening, it will be very high in my albums of the year list.

DJP, is your 4 track SOS EP: Get Innocuous, Someone Great, All My Friends and Us V. Them?
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Get Innocuous, North American Scum, Someone Great, Us V Them
I really, really really REALLY hate "All My Friends"

― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:47 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, North American Scum is a gimmicky bullshit track just like Drunk Girls. They're both pointless and annoying.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link
and also awesome
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
North American Scum is the fun parts of Daft Punk Is Playing At My House with the irritating sections removed and a fun "NORTH AMERICAN!" chant thrown in
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link

Walking around Greektown and the UIC campus in Chicago last month on a crazy windy day while listening to this really opened up the album to me. I like it better than the debut (I gather we're not including the second disk of singles there) & yeah, I think I'd put it on before Sound of Silver at this point. also lol @ "this is like a record that is for people with Good Taste In Music" & that was pretty much exactly what I thought on that day in Chicago (& naturally felt kinda self-congratulat-y which is a good feeling to afford yourself once in a while, delusionally or not).

but don't you hate everything they've ever done?
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
no
some of their songs are ok...Yeah, Get Innocuous and Someone Great really have good things about them...but All My Friends, just no.
would complain about this being the sound of mediocrity winning but it ain't worth the argument now, they're gone, and the million copyists will have to be fought instead
― rmad and dangerous (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
lj/djp bitter hatred of that song is inexplicable to the point of lol
i can understand the cale cover, the hua hsu (iirc) exegesis and other tributes seeming excessive, and the central piano motif will irritate some people
and yet ppl hate it worse than cancer & hitler

forgetting the lyrics entirely, it has a keening preening manipulative tweeness and a strict, stupefying adherence to the melodic/narrative tenets of new order that drive me to dislike exceptionally quickly - it's big and cloying and inevitable
― gospodin sim gishel (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
I loved the second one but I never, ever want to play it whereas this one gets constant rotation. It's a victory lap record like Graduation: "Drunk Girls" is a better "North American Scum," "Home" a superior "All My Friends," and "Dance Yrself Clean" just breathtaking on its own merits.

― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
the quick lil in studio live thing they put out a few weeks ago is really great imo -- nothing jaw dropping of course but it's cool to hear them tweak songs around a bit + recording is hi-fi
it has this super funky take on "daft punk" that is pretty much the only recording of the song that i can stomach atm

i would probably say they're the best live band i've ever seen too.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
No complaints about the band; like I said many xposts ago, I couldn't shake how awkwardly Murphy embraced his front man status, and not in a cool way.

Version of All I Want on London Sessions is very good - better than the album version.

I love that London Sessions album, but the version of I Can Change sounds far too slow to me.
― nate woolls, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 10:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, that's a dud and I can't fathom why they wouldn't include Yeah, which was the highlight of all three shows I've seen on this tour.
― The baby boomers have defined everything once and for all (Dorianlynskey), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 10:40 (thirteen years ago) link
"dance yrself clean" is sublime, "i can change" is horrific, everything else kinda falls in between. this is my least fav lcd album.
