Re: LCD Soundsystem – This Is Happening
Just finished my second complete listening of the album. I like it a lot, but I also feel like certain tracks could have been better. I think "Drunk Girls" is mediocre, and "Pow Pow" sounds like Murphy just goofing around in a mic, which is fine and all but for some reason that track leaves a bad taste in my mouth...
There are some other tracks I love though, mainly "Dance Yourself Clean", "All I Want", and "Home." Have you guys seen the 5 youtube clips he posted a while ago? Those clips were really well-made. It basically just showed him creating parts of the songs and I think it's interesting to see that and then hear the album because you can really hear things in the background that I probably wouldn't have realized before. Also, certain parts of the clips were filmed with a vintage-technique and there's a lot of quick cuts that make you feel connected. I wish they had enough footage to make a whole movie out of that. I've yet to see a film that truly captures the thought process and frustration of a band creating a hyped-up album and I think those clips kind of nailed it for me.
Anyways, I'm enjoying the newest effort. I heard a rumor that Murphy stated this is going to be the last LCD Soundsystem album. Is there any truth to this?
