LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
 

new LP from LCD Soundsystem has leaked. this blog reviewed it: http://planbmag.com/blogs/staff/2006...soundsystem-2/

it arrived down my net-tube this morning (thx p_a!)

so far, i really like it, prefer it to the first LP actually. perhaps that because i knew most of the tracks on that album from the single releases.

my fav. tracks as of my 3rd listen are: All My Friends, Someone Great and Get Innocuous. strangely, Get Innocuous has the exact same bass line as Losing My Edge. Someone Great uses the middle section of 45:33 with a full vocal to stunning effect. i hope to see them tour for this album. a couple tracks are hilarious in a typical James Murphey way. North American Scum and New York, I Love YOu But You're Bringing Me Down are both funny but very odd, as in, why the fuck did they decide to waste 11minutes on the album to jokes?

anyway, put your thoughts here.

so far so good. Still digesting it. Very much in the vibe of 4533...

All my friends...nice track that. LCD Does New Order

The last track was sure a surprise for me, not bad either. A lot of retro 80s worship as usual, and also as usual I feel the album really drags at times, but overall it is much better than the debut and I am diggin it. :)

I also just got it - but haven't had much time to listen...

I have skimmed through it - a bit disappointed that the first bit from the "nike run" piece wasn't included... but at least there's one track from it ("Someone Great")

there definitely is a bit of a New Order vibe on the album though, isn't there?

Re: LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
 

Yes, esp. Get Innocuous. A bit Peter Gabriel, New Order, Joy Division feel. ( redundant innit?)

Re: LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
 

the first song sure is great

Re: LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
 

I hear way more of David Bowie 'Station to Station' era in this than I do New Order. In general it's like some of the usual NYC-luv has been replaced with a whole lot of Brian Eno luv.

I like how in track five he checks a Pink Floyd reference to let you know what era he's from. ;)

yeah, i agree scott, i don't hear too much New Order and i think the review i posted, which was the first review of the LP on the net, is the cause of people hearing new Order. you have to not know much about newOrder to hear them in this LP. the junior boys sound more like newOrder than this LCD album.

There is actually a song there that reminded me of U2...
