Reviews (page 9 of 13)
It seems like a playlist, didn't find an artistic idea, but a mashup of different band songs in a single album
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I was never into his music when it first came out. After reading some reviews before listening, people complained about the same song over and over. I didn't feel that way at all. Us V Them stood out. 3.5/5
Some bangers but a bit samey after a while.
Some interesting songs and beats, but others really don't help. Like "Someone Great" and the New York Song, 3/5
96/1089 - Not horrible but not a fan of the voice.
Great start and ending in the album, just fairly groovy indie music that was a lot of fun. The middle of the album felt fairly repetitive with the first bit, but the album picked up with New York. Get Innocuous was an excellent opening track. Not the greatest fan of his voice tho.
Which genre is this? Am I wrong to ask? First it sounds like the fish song with a weird name but at the end I suddenly get an indie album? It's alright, nevertheless nothing mindblowing idk why it's on this list I reckon there's better out there
Interesting. I've heard LCD Sound System before. A bit trippy here and there. I like it but don't love it at times.
LCD soundsystem sounds to me like if you asked David Byrne to make roses and mimosas. Idk it didn’t tickle my brain as much as I hoped but I did like the album. Favorite tracks - New York I love you, someone great
The album is full of creative grooves and playful production that shows real artistry. However, as the album progresses, some of these grooves overstay their welcome. What begins as fresh and engaging starts to feel repetitive, with a few songs dragging out longer than needed. Still, there’s enough single tracks for me to appreciate.
Meh
Sounds like the guy from cake. Short skirt and long jacket. One good song in the middle there that I hadn’t heard that I really did like, but the rest of it like the cake singer
It was fine.
Not bad! Repetitive, sure, but not unpleasantly so. It's undeniably systemic sound, and I can't explain why it definitely sounds like silver and absolutely not gold.
This was better than expected. It's a 3.5 for me. Worths a second listen if I'm ever in the mood of some semi-funky EM
There's been a handful of albums so far with a similar vibe to this one. I think they're fine in a vacuum, but in real life they just don't really draw out any sort of emotion for me.
Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit
Listened through twice and on second listen id say it was pushing, but just falling short of 4 stars, let's call this one 3.5 stars.
3.75
Grew to enjoy this in some replays , it’s a unique enough sound and the electric works hands out
This was another first for me, as I'd never listened to anything by the LCD Soundsystem prior to this album, but I've been hearing about this artist for years. Initially, I wasn't too sure this was going to be up my alley, however, I found myself warming up to the sound by track 3 (North American Scum), which was definitely a pleasant surprise. As a longtime The 1975 fan, I was also surprised by All My Friends and the similarities to the opening track on BFIAFL, as well as lyrical similarities to their track Sex. Even though I this isn't the type of music I can see myself listening to on a regular basis, I will definitely be revisiting some of these tracks.
2.5 stars. was a bit weird but i liked it
Good, cool drum sound
Should listen again on road trip. Sounds British, made by one guy in a tinfoil hat.
get innocuous- the spelling of that word in obnoxious. like this song. 4 time to get away- 4 north american scum- 🙋. thats me. 3 someone great- 5 all my friends- 4 us v them- 3 or 4 watch the tapes- 3 sound of silver- oh jesus. the instrumental isnt that bad actually. 4 new york, i love you but youre bringing me down- 4
Eh
Production is really nice. Songwriting, vocals, and lyrics are fine. “Get Innocuous!” is too long and annoying. “Time to Get Away” is just too annoying. “North American Scum” is alright, it’s fine, but not for me. I enjoyed “Someone Great” and “All My Friends” was a lot of phun. “Us v Them” is too long and annoying. “Watch the Tapes” and “Sound of Silver” are annoying, if not, forgettable. “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down” is pretty good. I like that one. 3/5
I want to run fast now
Overall it was okay. New York, I love you was pretty great and I think All My Friends is an all-timer of a song but other than that, they were just some solid dance music
Perfectly listenable, but it becomes repetitive real fast. I’ve no problem with making tracks 7 minutes long, but at least make them interesting.
Got stronger as it went along
start of "someone great" is music i love. the rest so far is close to music i love but i do NOT like this. oh they started singing............ yeah this sucked shit imo - my notes from while it was playing
An interesting album, I liked Time to Get Away and All My Friends the most.
Nothing exciting.
Better than I thought, interesting indie/dance rock hybrid.
I'm not sure how to rate this one. It has alot of the dance and electronic tropes I don't like like the repetition and not having lyrics but this does these things but in a way I don't fond offensive. I'm really really not sure what to do with this. I'm Going to give it a tentative 3. I need to listen to this a bunch more times before I truly know what's up. Maybe it's the best thing I've ever listened to or the worst I'm not sure
I'm afraid I don't see the appeal. Its not bad of course, mildly catchy, driving rhythm, a lot of post-punk or post-grunge elements mixed with dance and electronica - but I think its the latter that I don't like, it's just not for me.
American 2000s rockband. Indy electronica. Enjoyable but also quite repetitive. Want this to be better.
Liked it and then got very bored, but then my attention was captured in the end again. Eh??
Interesante amalgama de estilos. A veces parece Kraftwerk, a veces Talking Heads, a veces IDLES, a veces música disco, pero solo durante un instante; inmediatamente te das cuenta de que es otra cosa más propia ("dance-punk"?). Un álbum que merece estar en la lista por su personalidad. Por otra parte, se me ha hecho algo pesado. No sé exactamente el qué, pero le falta algo para terminar de atraparme; irónicamente, quizá más variedad o unas melodías más sostenidas. Pero en fin, buen álbum.
okay
Hh
Albumi #166, 05.03.2025 LCD Soundsystem on jonkinlainen kombinaatio Kraftwerkia, Ting Tingsia ja Franz Ferdinandia. Mielenkiintoinen kombinaatio, mutta nuo kaikki mainitut on jo nähty. Tietyssä mielentilassa ihan ok meininkiä, mutta jotain omaperäistä puuttuu.
ok I guess
pretty cool
Some really nice layered rhythms and percussion, and some cool baselines. My personal issues is that they are very much on the New York vibe, and I don’t really appreciate Talking Heads or the Strokes, these guys clearly do. So while this is a nice improvement on them, I don’t think I’m every really got to get on board with the David Byrne vocal copying.
Ok low-fi techno
I feel they may be more attention grabbing live than in the studio. They're good, but not quite a 4.
I expected to hate this, and it’s better than that. But it is just so repetitive I can’t say I liked it either. New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down is good though, might get to 3 stars for that
Eh
I feel like every song has this long intro but just as it builds up to almost the hook it ends leaving me unsatisfied.
This album felt like it was three songs. The first seven songs sounded the same to me, and then the last two sounded different enough to differentiate in my head. Maybe it's a part of electronic music where that's normal but I'm not used to it. The last two songs on this album were great and saved this album from being a two. 3/5
Pretty catchy - good background music. At times sounded a bit like The Killers. No complaints on this one, nothing too special, but a solid 3/5.
I enjoyed this album at the time of it's release, but this sounds outdated and meh. Some songs are alright, but I honestly couldn't wait for it to be over. So weird because I used to love this band. Eh, things change.
Very dance-y. I like North American Scum because of the post-punk vibes.
It was definitely good music, but didn't captivate me. Lyrics are incredible. It just didn't tug me heart is all
Bra blandning av olika slags genren, många highlights! Kräver vidare lyssning.
Never listened to LCD Soundsystem before. I figured it would be some type of dance music. Not terribly wrong. Not really my thing. Not bad, not great. I admit about halfway through the album I was ready for it to be over. Seemed a little repetitive. This is not something I think I will be revisiting in the future.
прикольный, немножко соевый дискач в перемешку с рокешником, но очень своеобразное видение звука. мало песен со мной совпадают по настроению, но направление в целом понятно. сведение откровенно слабовато было сделано, но подход к продакшну был интересный с той же духовной точки зрения.
he just repeats things and calls it music. but sometimes thats fine
1. get innocuous!: interesting, kinda trippy at start, a bit long and repetitive, nice percussion, long instrumental 2. time to get away: fun vocals, funky bass, punky, cool song 3. north american scum: nice intro, reminds me of olivia rodrigo for some reason, again great drums and bass, female backing vocals!, punky, cool song 4. someone great: trippy intro, nice melody, repetitive, boring vocals 5. all my friends: keyboard intro, repetitive, boring vocals 6. us V them: relatively quicker intro, female backing vocals, cowbells, chorus?!, i like it but still too long (8 minutes?!) 7. watch the tapes: way shorter, nice vocal overdubs 8. sound of silver: great bass, trancelike interlude, great effects 9. new york i love you but you’re bringing me down: nice vocals and melody, nice piano, dumb lyrics, repetitive vocals, guitar solo?! overall: pros-great production, cool effects and vocals, trancelike dance music, slightly punky, good background music cons-repetitive and long songs, not much vocal melody, repetitive vocals, not much direction rating: 7/10
I didn’t connect with the bulk of the album, but I recognize that All My Friends was a thrilling creation. It made its way onto my favourites playlist.
A handful of really great songs on this. Too many of the non-great tracks are super repetitive, though, which really harms the overall feel of this album. When it's rock I'm super into it, when it's dance / electronic I wish it would end.
rating - 3/5. ??? > ima be so fr the 10000 minute songs r not doing it for me..... and I cheated I skipped a lot through the songs IM SORRY. this was def different from something id normally listen to. lyrics and stuff r cool tho! his voice just kinda annoy me. also idk what he using to make the actual music but its sick af?? I would not listen to this again but it was definitely an experience. NYILYBYBMD why is he annoying asfk IM SORRY I hate it. (also this prob didn't show up on my airbuds cus I listened on my laptop) > thumbs up: north american scum.
75/100 i like the atmosphere, not much else though.
Det lät ju inte alls så tokigt.
Not a masterpiece but still a super fun album. Loved All my Friends and Someone Great
I like some of the ingredients, but the dish is missing something. All of my friends was great though
I forgot how much I liked this album. 3.5
Interesting tunes, will be revisiting.
Not my thing really. Not bad, but not my thing.
Need to give this a few more listens. But it’s starting to grow on me. 3.75
Not always bad. But some of their sounds give my ears pain.
Yeah good like. North American scum. So weird to imagine an American picking up on Brits hating on them. Greatest country in the world? Bring back jingoism. Arm up. God bless America. Yeah right.
"Sound of Silver" by LCD SOUNDSYSTEM is mixed and engineered well, but honestly just feels like a sort of tired throwback to the sounds of Yello, Metropolis Records acts, Dancing Ferret Discs acts,, and bands like Einstruzende Neubaten from 2 decades before them, and even bit like the collage rock style that we used on our first album. I respect what they do, but I'm not convinced I would feel compelled to hear these tracks again. All of the track would have benefited by keeping them instrumental and removing the vocals. I almost enjoyed "Someone Great", but my experience was ruined by a piano line that was echoing the vocal melody being to far forward in the mix.
An okay album.
This ended up being kind of an odd break between the stuff I planned to listen to today — which is to say, Frank Sintra's "feels bad, man" sad albums to try and ignore what was happening today, and then Rage Against The Machine's debut to actively engage with what was happening today. You can see how I was tryna be, right? Y'know? And I coulda stuck to just that, but I didn't see any reason to put today's album off, so I snuck it in and here we are. And what fun, it ended up probably being my least favorite kind of album to get from this list. Yes, it's the unfortunate classic: the "I acknowledge that this is a very good album, even a great album, but ultimately it just really doesn't inspire me to say much about it" kind of album. But maybe not even that; honestly, I felt a little underwhelmed for most of the runtime. And that sucks, 'coz I'm the kinda person who **loves** to rattle off their thoughts about and relations to an album, across maybe hundreds of words. It's kind of my thing, I figure. But when I start making my review about how I can write a good review, well... Like, at this point, I don't think it's a problem with me and my ability to express myself. Lemme put it like this. I saw a review not from this website that described a song from this album as "dance music for grown-ups." And y'know what that description reminds me of, honestly? Grape Nuts. Bran Flakes. All the cereal I see in the aisle and go, "Why should that have to be the cereal I 'graduate' to once I grow up? There are people who really give up Froot Loops and Cap'n Crunch and Nesquik and all that for gawdamn **Grape Nuts**?" Which, I don't think this album is as bland as comparing it to Grape Nuts would imply — I do think it's good, even great music, regardless of how underwhelmed I was by it — but if this is dance music for grown-ups, gimme some damn Froot Loops. It largely just bounced off me, and I don't think it was solely because I was also busy distracting myself doing outfit sketches for an OC. I just didn't really get into it too much until "Us V Them", and by that point, it felt a bit too late. Not even the closer could really save my opinion, and I liked it a **lot** for how it reminded me of Ben Folds. So... Yeah, I'm gonna be the outlier in my group again, I figure. 'Coz while they're probably gonna give this thing 5's, honestly, I'm feeling more like a 3. That's more a reflection of my enjoyment than how I feel about it quality-wise, but ultimately, it still feels like the best one for me to give it. Jus' how it be sometimes. LCD Soundsystem, your album's fine, but that fact's bringing me down.
Starts off eclectic sounding but became repetitive as it went on. I only knew this artist from the one song they made with Idles so my expectations might have been out of whack. Was not bad though.
<h4>test</h4>
More drone than musicality for most of it. But fun.
LCD Soundsystem is a blindspot for me in terms of artists who people I think have good taste like and I’d guess that I’d enjoy as well. I was a little underwhelmed in that sense, but generally would say I did enjoy this and would explore further
Very Killers vibes, had to honestly look up when Hot Fuss came out to make sure there was some distance and was kind of surprised to see it. Very much a retread but the music is pretty good.
A few good songs.
This albums puts you in a great flow. But can stress you out and overwhelm with so much noise. Some greats songs and some mediocre songs
Collaborative and creative. To me it sounds like a Talking Heads mixed with Kraftwerk album, especially noticeable on Us V Them
LCD Soundsystem is clearly influenced by David Bowie, Brian Eno, Talking Heads and Kraftwerk. Kind of thrown in a blender and strained through a 2007 sieve, so not as good as the originals. That said, I generally found something to like in listening to each song. Not amazing, but better than most electronic/dance/rock(?) from this time period. 2.5⭐️ (but I’ll round up)
Joa ganz nett wa Besser könnts aber auch sein Intro ist sehr toll
Meh
This Is Happening is way better. Lowkey a pretty overrated music nerd album
Some absolute crap and some moments of brilliance. On the whole, it averages out.
It was alright, but nothing special.
"Hey, I never asked you. Do you like guacamole?"
First listen. Quite good, but it became kind of one dimensional and boring over time.
I wish we had left this sound in the 80s. It’s okay. Some of the quirky lyrics made me giggle.
"all my friends" is fantastic. the rest feels like a joke i'm not in on
Listened twice. It’s alright I enjoyed it. Last track probably my favorite
Good and easy listening
I like this better than the other album by them we had before. Songs are long and winding but I enjoy the base ideas quite a lot. Good background music although I probably won't revisit very much. Highlights: All Your Friends, Sound of Silver, New York I love you. 3.5
I liked it, but a couple of songs really dragged on for too long in my opinion.
This was different. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't sure what to expect. From what I had read, this band's sound is very much a hybrid mixture of The Killers + The Strokes + a pinch of Devo + a dash of Daft Punk. Enjoyable for what it was, but I don't see myself going back to it anytime in not too distant future.
It started off as some sort of electronica, but then pivoted into an eclectic alt-rock sampler. It was OK, but it's not joining my library anytime soon.
Ok this one made me kind of get the LCD hype. NA Scum and NYILY were great, I didn’t realize they were LCD. A pleasant vibe to look at a nice blue sky to.
What a bop
Dance rock has never been my thing so was interested to give this a listen. I get DJ Shadow vibes (whom I am a fan) from the first track Get Innocuous!. This is electronic rock, well not my thing in general I can appreciate it. Stand out tracks: - Get Innocuous! - North American Scum - All my friends - Sound of Silver - New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
Already loved some songs from this album but never listened to it in full. I think LCD Soundsytem really typified the beginning of the indie sleaze movement which lasted for the next decade, of which the genre is very close to my heart. Some of the songs are really repetitive musically which I understand is the style but I get bored of easily. The lyricist is amazing however and the end of the album is a highlight with New York I Love You.
it was alright but the vocals didn’t stand out to me, lots of cool sounds though
I have definitely heard of LCD Soundsystem before, and I'm sure I've heard some of their music at some point but somehow none of this was familiar. It was good, it didn't blow me away but I mostly enjoyed it. Definitely better with headphones.
I enjoyed listening to this album, hope to remember to come back to it.
Was not a big fan of the beginning but it got better. I enjoyed Someone Great, All My Friends and Us vs Them. Singers voice reminded me of others so it wasn't super unique.
It's fun. It's dancey and has good energy. I had fun playing bass to it. Not hearing anything especially great or creative about the songwriting. Cool beats. I like the North American Scum song.
5.5/10
I love Daft Punk is playing in my house, my house. But this falls short of that hype. Still ok to listen to at the gym. I'm too old for all night raves, but the first track would be great for that.
Too brassy for my brain in one sitting and the “vocals” suck. Other than that it was kinda cool. Hanging middle of the road on this one. It sounds a little dated for a 2007 release.
Achei mais animado q o outro...até q gostei desse
I liked this and I listened to it twice through. It was a 3 after the first listen and I thought it might be a 4 if I listened to it again. But still a 3. Easy funky rock/dance vibes. Very LCD Soundsystem, so it tracks. Sound of Silver was the one that stuck out the most to me as good background music.
The voice of me off but some the instruments parts were nice.
A little too sonically busy for me. Many of the tracks sounded similar.
The high of "Someone Great" followed by "All My Friends" is incredibly high. I appreciate James and his dance punk aesthetic, these more chill momements with brilliant lyricism, and just a killer vocal performance speak to me and make the biggest impression. While most of the album was dancier, I found myself losing interest at times. The second half of "The Sound of Silver" definitely reinvigorated the album. The long groove is moody, driving, and and compels you to move. "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down" took me out entirely. Not a bad song, and seemingly a deeply personal one, but this is not what I wanted from LCD Soundsystem.
Fun upbeat songs. Prob a one listen for me
I liked this album when it came out-fairly upbeat, nice to drive to--though the title track ("Sound of Silver") is actually pretty boring (even if its one lyric is pretty funny). I'm still listening to many of the songs on this album to this day--though I don't think it's by any means a mind-blowing album. It feels like a good spring-to-summer transition album.
Meh
3.5★. A bit of a hit-and-miss. The good stuff (Get Innocuous, Someone Great, All My Friends, New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down) is great but I don’t care much for the rest.
Not my favorite style of music but a fun stretch for me. Overall takeaway: vocals are kinda lame, but the instrumentals are fun
Cool album. Zou het niet meteen 4 sterren geven. All my friends is echt wel een banger. Ook een aantal nieuwe nummers hierop leren kennen. 3.4
1. To string you along with pretense 2. For you I caught a lot of static 3. We are North American scum 4. There shouldn’t be this radio silence 5. We set controls for the heart of the sun 6. Cloud, block out the sun over me 7. Avoid all the plans ‘cause we’re making our day jobs into a steady career 8. Sound of silver talk to me 9. But you’re still the one pool where I’d happily drown
A little too much filler, but the songs that hit hoo boy
Really interesting sound! Not my personal bag but this is very unique.
Finally, a song by this band that I recognized. Some of it is nice, a lot of it makes me want to listen to other music I like better. The last song made me want to turn it off. 2.5
I vibed with this one way more than I did the first one.
They overstayed their welcome on most songs. However, I did think they had a cool sound.
++: North American Scum, Sound of Silver, New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down + Get Innocuous!, Us v Them, Watch the Tapes +-: Time to Get Away, Someone Great, All My Friends 6,3/10
Good, couple proper musically tracks like the album closer. Sometimes feels a little try hard, but that might just be cause there’s no singing.
Highlights: "All My Friends," "Us Vs Them," "North American Scum," ...
Great album. Three stars as a whole because I'm not sure at this point if I would revisit as a whole (maybe that will change). Last track is lovely but unfortunately the colossal weight of emotion in All My Friends seems much like a imploding star, crush and devour all tracks around it's 5 star worthy artistry. As a middle aged man listening to another middle aged man singing about those early 2000s it strikes like a two chorded fork through the heart (even though weirdly I missed this track at the time)
I don't get it
Get Innocuous! 2.8 Time to Get Away 3 North American Scum 3 Someone Great 2.7 All My Friends 2.5 Us v Them 2.4 Watch the Tapes 2.4 Sound of Silver 2 New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down 3 Score: 2.644444444
I can’t explain it any further but this album just sounds like 2007. It’s not a good or bad thing, it’s just a thing. I enjoyed the album though!
Last time I got an LCD album, I hated it. This time, not too bad. Though too repetitive at times. Not terrible though
I may have been wrong about LCD Soundsystem in college after hearing "Dance Yourself Clean" - I did enjoy this album albeit slightly repetitive on some tracks. The grooves and unpolished vocals give it a nice indie feel.
This sounds like that band that met in art school and have been friends ever since. They make every decision together, straight down to what toilet paper to buy. They're the group that you heard and thought they're good because they have that one good song you like and then made an entire album of the same song. 3/5.
Better than most electronic albums from the era. Mostly because the songs go somewhere. It's also not as long as most, which serves this record well.
Wasn’t sure about it, but listened all the way through and it was surprisingly ok.
Better than expected for electroniia. Notables NA Scum Sound of Silver New York
That was fine? I listened on Friday and am writing this on Monday. I remember it being solid but don't remember anything standing out. Album cover: B. Sure.
I have not loved the first few songs. "North American Scum" is the first good one. "All My Friends" is also good. They really sound like The Killers on this track. All the next tracks didn't do it for me, but then "New York I Love You..." was pretty good. I've dabbled with LCD Soundsystem a little in the past and it's never clicked. They don't quite hold the same status as Radiohead, but they're another one of those bands everyone says they love. This album was a little boring. The interesting elements of it don't feel like they're executed that well. It all feels a little middle of the road and bland. I didn't dislike it and a few of the songs were good. 6/10
So many folks whose taste I respect rate this highly. I can sing and dance along and all but I think I missed whatever age window I needed to catch this in. Listened multiple times to try to make it hit harder. Did he or jack white start doing this weird singing first. Better call the po-LEEEEECE!
Favourite track: Get Innocuous!
I never really “got” LCD Soundsystem. I like dance, I like this era of indie rock, I like punk. I get what they’re doing, and I even really like most of their singles, and maybe even a song or two from each album. When Lil B sang about hipster girls shaking their ass, I was one of those girls he was talking about it, and at most of those parties, I was shaking ass to LCD Soundsystem. But left to my own devices, I rarely if ever would choose to listen to LCD Soundsystem, especially a full album back-to-front. There’s just something about it where the parts are greater than the sum. I like the genres they’re trying to combine, but I don’t like the combination; I like a song or two on a party playlist, but the albums lack momentum or gravity. Which is strange, because what Sound of Silver does have is variety — normally the lifeblood behind momentum and gravity! Maybe it’s the track length, which implies a dance beat crescendo that LCD can never really build. Maybe it’s the self-seriousness of the lyricism, which all have the depth of a 2000s indie film about the bridge and the tunnel. Maybe, just maybe, I just find LCD to be too pretentious, with too much of a “look what we can do by blending genres you wouldn’t expect a couple Williamsburg boiz to be interested in blending!” And maybe, just maybe, that’s a bit too far past the line for me to sit through an hour’s worth of material without rolling my eyes. This is a very long way to say that LCD Soundsystem aren’t really for me, unless it’s in small bits. While I get how and why someone could love Sound of Silver, and I can respect it and might’ve felt differently with modest tweaks, this is the quintessential example of a Greatest Hits Band™️ to me. You can like Sound of Silver, but I’ll just take the moments that don’t overstay their welcome with a 10-minute runtime and move those to a playlist that people can actually dance to at an actual party. And maybe even “New York I Love You,” whose sentiment may be overdramatized and dismissive of this gorgeous city, but also (and I say this from experience) still at least speaks to the Youngest Millennials in Brooklyn™️.
I have a love hate relationship to LCD Soundsystem. At times I find his music great, at others I find it pretentious and formulaic. This album is probably the LCD Soundsystem album with the least songs i know (of the hit albums). I found it quite good. Something with the style hasn't aged particularly well to me and the sound that sounded so fresh around the late 00s now sounds a bit boring instead. Still there is a certain groove to many of the songs that are fun in their scaled back way. Special shout out to "North American Scum" and "All my Friends". It is at its best a cool blend of indie electronic and a good window to what the indies listened to around the late 00s early 10s. Strong 3.
Después de varios intentos de que me gustara algo de este grupo, creo que este es su disco más interesante por ahora. Me he guardado: Someone great, All my friends y New York, I love you but ...
Enjoyable
Geht so
- It was fine! Good first song - I was expecting more variation after that, and then there wasn't really - These songs are probably better if you listen to them individually rather than sitting down and listening to the whole album at once... they blend together after a while unfortunately :( - However! "Samey" doesn't inherently mean "bad" (at least not to me, anyways). Pretty alright!
Repetitive dance/electronic. Pretty fun rhythm and not immediately repulsive. Might get old as album goes on, but first track feels exciting and different. Discordant classical is always a fast-track to my pretentious heart. VOCALS??? No deal. It’s actually pretty rad. A little too disco-y. “More more more” “type shit” as the youth say while not understanding that deep cut disco reference. Hell, I barely understand it. New song. Thankfully. Hated that rhythm. Fun start to this bad boy. Like the song title. A little more subversive. Less disco, more modern. This is pretty good. Lyrics are fairly lame. Probably don’t understand the cool mid-2000s disco white guy thematic overtones. My loss right? Kind of flip flopping on the lyrics. Good song. Long, but good. MELODRAMA?? Not in my influential album list. The Smiths meets Owl City. Vocal melody kinda bad, but also hypnotic and I was bobbing my head to this. I might just be excited about the prospect of listening to new music, but this album has sort of flown by. Relistenable? Parts. That was kinda nice. Edit. It’s bad. Annoying Billy Joel on psychedelics feature. Ooh no. Kings of Leon. This song is stinky. So lame. Yeah this was a record scratch halting, garbage song. Sad music for people who’ve never been sad. College breakup song. Thumbs down. It removed my thoughts on the next track. Bad until near the end. I can’t bring to mind my effervescent prose and devastating critiques at this juncture. Next song rips. Watch the tapes? I will now. More white stripes/Hives than Coldplay/Fray. Sick. Don’t tease me with a Warren Zevon wolf howl. Werewolves of (trendy New York neighbourhood). What a zinger. That’s the type of “heat” missed when this puppy doesn’t save. Nostalgia takedowns?? Hubba hubba. WHOA, ALBUM NAME MENTIONED. Bass line = NICE. Record pops, weird ambient break which is a plus. Another good song. Picking up near the end. Although it keeps on going. And I’m happy about it. SpongeBob beat introduced to rapturous applause. Oh no. Ballad album closer. Ironic? Almost assuredly yes. Tribute to New York somehow though. Why do people who live in urban areas always feel the need to talk about it constantly? Hold the phone. Big takedown. Why do I like this? What has happened to me? This sounds like Weezer slightly. I hope no music nerds see this. I can only imagine them blowing air out of their one unclogged nostril and whirling their Cheeto dust around the office. Humiliating HIGHLIGHTS: North American Scum, Watch the Tapes, Sound of Silver, New York, I love you but you’re bringing me down 3.5
It was ok. Shocking there was a song I know. Don’t think I would go back to it.
So fun. Maybe not LCD's very best album, but their talent is showing huge on this one.
This is a big vibes album. You don't pay much attention to the lyrics but there is a general coming of age, summer, exploring vibe to the songs. Then it just gets very repetitive.
New York i love you but you're bringing me down and american scum are really good but we didn't vibe so much with the rest.
Surprisingly solid album. Great closer too.
Lacking in emotional content, or maybe I'm just a jaded aging hipster. More Talking Heads and even shadows of Gang of Four here and there: "Sound of Silver" more like "Sound of Anthrax - but I forgot the words so I improvised something really silly." A lot of misplaced nostalgia about growing up, wondering if this is purposeful or spontaneously heartfelt? Intuitively feels like the latter at first listen. Some mid-oughts alternative rock that sounds like the Killers, Phoenix, Franz Ferdinand, etc. etc. etc. Which *I* don't love but appeals to a lot of folks. That said, this album is kind of interesting. More so when the singer is just chatting over the bleep blorp stuff, it's painfully obvious when he's out of his league - not everyone can be David Bowie, nor should everyone make the attempt to be. "Be yourself" is always the stylistic choice that is most satisfying. Works well on songs like "Us v Them" and "North American Scum." Not convinced it is worth all the accolades, though. Maybe it's the hipster music trick of appealing to the 30-something east-coast white boy English majors who write for Bitchfork, Rolling Stone, et. al. rather than doing anything risky.
I like it, but not love it
LCD Soundsystem is the Wilco of electronic music. Meaning everyone has that uncle that's way too into them.
For a band I’ve never heard of, I know a lot of their music from video games and movies
Meh, 3 stars
Quirky but funky
It's pretty OK. It sounds like mid-2000s rock (ala The Strokes, Interpol, The Killers, et al) but with a slightly more upbeat, slightly electro-pop foundation.
It combines all of my least favorite things about indie/alt music from the late 2000s: overreliance on poorly produced electronic elements, bad vocals, and a faux self-effacing pretentiousness. Last track is good tho
There are some good hooks here and there, and “All My Friends” is a great jam, but overall it’s just not really my thing and doesn’t change my view of this band as overrated.
This didn't work for me. The electronic beats were almost nauseating--the music needed to be thicker, or have a fuller sound or something, and I thought the lyrics were often not that interesting. I love the name of the band and the name of the songs, but the repetition / electronic dance aspect was kind of boring to me.
I’m familiar with this group, but not this record. This has some interesting sounds on it and I’d like to revisit it to fully immerse myself in it as I think it is a very good album; my close friend swears by it. Some unique electronic compositions combined with unique vocals. I’m still left a bit unsure about it, but I enjoyed it.
Born-again Bowie ain’t bad.
Some good and bad. Different for it's time, but now just a thing. I could keep some on as background music.
I do like the sound of this album but something about it doesn't make it a 4 for me. If i could I would rate it 3.5 stars. It's definitely fun to listen to
7/10. It has some nice songs on it. Although, it didn't feel too groundbreaking. :)
Nunca entendí de que va LCD Soundsystem, un poco messy pero no tan malo
I made it Al the way through and felt like I needed to take a break and try again in a week. First thoughts: it grew on me as the album went on and by the end I think it was okay. Good soundtrack music- stirred some feelings and sounded cool. But I don’t think I’d put it on again Second thoughts: it may be like Radiohead where the more you listen the more you get and 2 years from now they may be one of my favorite bands.
Interessantes Album mit ausgeprägten Techno und Rock Elementen. Leider sind einige Songs etwas verspielt, sodass es an der Gesamtkonzeption fehlt. Toll ist „All My Friends“ (gut arrangiert) und „Sound of Silver“ mit faszinierenden Trance und Techno-Elementen. Insgesamt durchaus zu Wiederholung geeignet.
Couple of good songs but just boring for most of the way.
can be fun if you're in the right mood. other times it can be tedious and boring.
Gotta say I enjoyed this. Triggered the Kraftwerk/Blondie/Giorgio Moroder disco-cheese pleasure centers in my brain. It's a long stretch tho.
liked some songs more than others, got Radiohead vibes somewhere and also there was a song that it seems like the 1975 ripped off for Sex. lol. may keep some songs
Так себе, почему-то ожидал что будет лучше.
Several nice songs, but a couple, e.g., the opener, bring it down.
get innocuous! é uma introdução forte e minha faixa preferida, consequentemente me fez esperar muito mais das seguintes, us v them também se destacou. mistura diversos elementos que curto bastante mas queria ter aproveitado melhor, achei meio cansativo.
Grew on me!
This was a lot better than I was expecting and good to have on in the background.
Wait. I liked this. North American Scum is GREAT. Like add to my playlist great. The rest were good.
Not really my thing but it wasn't too bad.
It’s ok
Pretty nice
"New York, I Love You..." is a gem! Rest is decent
Good and groovy electronica, but the beats are repetitive and the tracks are long. A good listen if it isn't your primary focus, bad if you want something engaging
not so much
Just ok
Nice album actually, would be nice if the kraftwerky start would be embraced more throughout the album.
This feels like something you need to listen to more than once to really dig into. Enjoyed it overall. It’s like Beck, Arcade Fire, and Phillip Glass all rolled into one.
The reviewer who says he made all his jeans into jorts really made me smile because there is a lyric by The Fall that fans of James Murphy "show their bollocks when they eat". Anyway, decent enough indie dance but I've never really got the fuss. If it came out ten years earlier when I was working in pubs I'd have all kinds of good and bad memories attached to it I'm sure.
okaay get innocuous baut lang uuf aber s isch au recht cool. ha chli angst vor dem album welli goaub scho mega vier guets ghört ha vo ihne aber angst ha dases afoch sochli kritiker:inne darling stuff isch. de erst song isch etz no cool gsi. ah er goht nomel einehalb minute. und denn hörts mit atonale striicher uf okay. time to get away isch no funky? north american scum isch no funny. sorechgsang chaner. chli nervig mit de ziit. d songs sind z lang. someone great isch eigentli sehr schön sad aber de konstanti BING BING BING. mann unnötig. biah und die synthis sind alli so chalt. all my friends isch soooo weird gmixt. WA SEISCH SING LÜTER. us v them macht eig au bitz funky stuff aber au immer chli s glich. ETZ NOCH 3e halb minute chunt harmonie und e melodie. etz isch geil! watch the tapes findi au wieder easy geil, gitarre scratch als perkussion passt super. ha gad wölle schribe dasi churz vergesse han dasi am musig lose bin und denn chunt s klavier ine bi dem blib blup teil und dasch schono nice. ich finds etz aber nüt mega innovativs oder so. bass nocher tätscht aber super. meh. new york i love you und so hani schomol irgendwo ghört. ich checks irgendwie städt chönd zermürbend sii. und paradoziali beziehig mitere stadt chani mega novollzie. nocher song irgendwenn luut voll cool. git glaub e 3 find s het meeeega geili moment aber d songs sind viel z lang und s haltet chli meh vo sich alses isch findi. sorry für alli wo finded de guy isch es mega genie und het d musig neu erfunde und so. (huere liest iiiirgendöpper da review uf schwizerdütsch und regt sich uf)
Pretty cool beats. Would study to
Wasn't the day for it at all.
Some good tunes but too long and monotonous for my tastes
All I could think of was Fatboy Slim this whole album, is that good or bad? I dunno, it makes me realize that you dont hear this kind of music that much anymore. The lead singers voice grated on me as this went on. Not bad, not great.!
Was going to give this 4 stars because I was enjoying how “Beck”ish it was but then the songs started to sound annoying. On a different day it would have been a 4!
Not my thing.
The songs go on for too long. And there's not enough variation for me. I won't come back to this.
First time through I'd have given it 2.25, another listen and a few of the tunes started to grow on me. Still reminds me of early New Order and Book of Love from the 80s - a bit light. 2.75
Love the sound and production. Get Innocuous was my favorite, but overall most songs had to much repitition for me.
Many repeating sounds, songs with a slower tune tend to get quite repetitive. Example New York I love you, lyrics just repeat and repeat Electronic beats are ok, get Innocuous sounds like a Halo soundtrack at parts, many musical layers. North American scum is catchy at times, is a rock song with a good electronic beat More slower electronic beat songs like someone great and sound of silver are irritating and I'm not sure why I'd listen to, I'm not dancing to them and the effects in the background hurt my ears Like more upbeat songs like all my friends
This is a good LCD Soundsystem album. I like their stuff, but none of it blows me away. I usually get into a mood occasionally to listen to one of their albums. My favorite thing that James Murphy has been apart of was the Tim Heidecker movie, The Comedy. North American Scum is my favorite on here.
Ok, this is fun. Groovy, even. But I'm not sensing anything stellar about LCD Soundsystem over what others in the genre have already done. More of the talking songs are reminiscent of Talking Heads ("Us V. Them"), but Talking Heads did it better. There are some actual melodies sung over the thumping pulse in "Someone Great" and "All My Friends," but the Killers did it better. Judi Chicago (from ATL!!!!) threw this same dance party just as well (though 4 months later), and they remain in the obscure club scene, where LCD Soundsystem should be instead of headlining festivals. The line that resonates with me the most, from the title track: "[it] makes you want to feel like a teenager until you remember the feelings of a real-life emotional teenager; then you think again." Not revolutionary, but a good reminder that it's less dramatic on this side of 20. I wish there were more songs like "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," easily the best tune on Sounds Of Silver. The Kermit-the-Frog-sings-Ben-Folds seems sincere and honest, placed after a 50 minute in-your-face shake-your-butt-a-thon . It is leaving the club when it closes at 2am, after the dance party has ended and you're back to reality and the consequences of your actions. Like a mediocre movie that ends spectacularly well (looking at you, "The Usual Suspects"), one is left with the overall feeling that the entire experience was great, or at least worth enduring for the payout. Don't let them re-color the past. It's not bad, but it's not the mind-blowing music you read about in the YouTube comments. Maybe if you come from a rave culture, this has more heart and melody, but coming from heart and melody as I do, this is decaf with a beat.
I've listened to this before years ago but had a tough time making it through the tail end of it. I am more used to a polished electronic/dance music sound, whereas this sounds pretty analog for lack of a better word. I liked it better this time around. It sounds like a mix of Kraftwerk ( I think probably all electronic dance music owes Kraftwerk for their innovation) a bit of New Order with either Robert Palmer or Mick Jagger type vocals. I particularly liked 'Someone Great'. I did find some of the sounds, song structure and vocals to be a bit repetitive. Overall a cool album though.
It was decent. Felt repetitive or boring at times but some songs i really liked
What in the modern funk/dance music is this? I don’t love it, but I like it. The songs do seem to get a little repetitive, but overall it’s a good listen and I wouldn’t necessarily skip them if the came up on a playlist.
I had never listened to this album at all and so far, I am liking it! I felt my foot tapping along while it played along in the background while working. I may need to put this on my "work" list for concentrating. I like "Us vs Them" and "sound of silver" and kinda dig most of the songs in their own way. A good listen
It’s ok. I liked a couple of songs.
Funky little album with some nice bass and a healthy dose of cowbell. Only problem is the singer gets obnoxious sometimes, whether it's intentional or not. (New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down being an example.)
Quite good, a bit on the repetitive side as you get through the album though. Nice summer vibes
Pretty good; easy to listen to. Not sure I'd remember it x
Never listened to LCD in the day, so this is my first real listen. It's okay, but I'm wanting more electro... this feels like indie with some loops or plussed up casio beats. It sounds like what an older guy who was into 80s synth pop as a kid would make. It's decent, would listen again, but wanting more. 3.7
I’m sure it’s great but it’s not my thing
3.5
Really enjoyed the electronic beats of this album! 3.5/5
I can definitely understand why this is an all-time favorite for a lot of people. My main issue with this and LCD Soundsystem in general is the talk-singing style and the synths that don’t really change. Still, I liked it and its subject matter is pretty unique. The highlights for me were “All My Friends” and “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down”.
LCD I like the repetitive trance like development in the long songs but it might be a bit slow to develop or a might not always be worth it. Least favorites were watch the tapes and New York. The instrumental and electronic elements are more interesting than the vocal I think I would like this more with a different singer. I liked the other album we had better.
Börjar mkt bra. Lite synd på "sången" i första låten. Tillför inget. Förväntade mig mer instrumentell musik.. det blev inte så. Det var ändå helt ok.
Hade inte hört så mycket av dem tidigare annat än All my friends, som ju är en höjdare. Tycker det var lite högt och lågt i övrigt (och rätt spretigt musikaliskt). Ett par låtar hade kunnat kortas ned. Stabil trea på totalen.
What do you even call LCDS? Some fantastical blend of dance-punk; dance-rock; electronica; electronic rock; indie rock(?) Album hooks you with upbeat and irresistible dance elements "North American Scum"", Someone Great" and "All My Friends" are iconic classics
Tbh i like lcd sound system ok but its never been my thing
So so
Vil hellere høre Low
Repetitive. Would have given it a 2 but the New York song bumped it up.
I appreciate this kind of music but it is not my forte.
I really adored some aspects of it, and some of them surprised me in a good way. Maybe it won’t be your kind of album to listen to, because of the length of it and the overspread material in it. Overall, really appreciated this listen 🖤
Enjoyable variations in sound. Pretty good.
"Hi. I'm white but I'm cool. Isn't this great background music. So cool, right? just have a drink or get high or whatevr. Each song has at least a minute where you can just vibe, y'know. Just lots of beats to talk about how rejection is hard. Wait, did you not notice the music? So edgy, right? Wait, where are you going...?" Just the same, All My Friends is a bop and New York I Love You is awesome.
Fine listening, but too long. Boy do I relate to *not wanting to be an emotional teenager*
It’s ok, a little too grating to have as work background music
Very unique use of instruments. Can't say that this is my cup of tea. But good stuff nonetheless
Some nice tracks with nice instrumentals, but the vocals can be hit and miss. Favourite song: All my friends
Decent electronic, overshadowed by other giants of the genre
Yeah i dont know still not my favorites. Loved the first track tho
Je pensais que j’allais aimé ça plus que ça, finalement c’est un peu un Aphex Twin bootleg
Some highs and lows. Gets a little out there for me, and very repetitive in the middle bits. Ends on a high note.
In most cases when I see the electronic genre, I know a headache is soon to follow. Well, surprise here. I fell in love with All My Friends and immediately downloaded during the first listen. I can't say enough about how much I love this song. The music, the lyrics and just the way it makes me feel is right up there with any of my favorites. This is a 5 star song. And after a few more listen to the album, I thought North American Scum was very good and thought Someone Great and Watch the Tape were decent songs as well. Much to my surprise, I found myself grooving in my seat at times and then even let the genre play out today. I can't say I think this is a great album, but I can't tear it apart either. I never imagined I would give a dance/electronica album a solid score, but here we are. Mainly on the back of All My Friends, I'm scoring a 3. Probably even closer to a 3.5. 3
3.5 As someone who has admittedly never done so himself, I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album that seems to sum up the NYC clubbing experience quite as well as this one does (though The Strokes’ debut comes close). Both musically and lyrically, this album feels like the experience of going out, getting a little too crazy, and then sobering up on the walk back to your apartment, just as the sun begins to poke out. That to say, I’m not normally a big fan of club music, but LCD Soundsystem is able to put an alternative rock-inspired spin on the genre that seems to work for me… about half of the time. The few songs I’ve heard by the group prior have been pretty hit or miss, and I felt mostly the same about this album. But man, when these songs hit, they HIT. I really liked Someone Great and North American Scum (don't blame the Canadians), but holy cow, All My Friends is on a totally different level. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to the track since I first heard it (despite its near 8-minute runtime) - there’s just something about the song that really speaks to me. I love the fast-paced piano hook, I love the buildup, and God, I love the lyrics. “You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan And the next five years trying to be with your friends again You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend” “Though when we're running out of the drugs And the conversation's winding away I wouldn't trade one stupid decision For another five years of life” I think most importantly, I love nights with my friends, and as someone who is reaching the end of his first five years of trying to get with the plan, this song really strikes a chord with me. Is there really anything better than just a good night with good friends? Fantastic song, but unfortunately, the rest of the album just doesn’t really hold much of a candle to it - each time I re-listened to this thing, I found myself kind of over it after All My Friends. I like the closer, New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down, but other than that, there’s really not much of interest going on in the back half. I like the lyric “Sound of silver, talk to me/Makes you want to feel like a teenager/Until you remember the feelings of/A real-life emotional teenager/Then you think again”, but the song grows repetitive and annoying very quickly. I struggled with my rating a bit on this one given how much I love and appreciate the song All My Friends, but really, the only particularly enjoyable aspect to this album for me is that song and the two before it. So, I think that keeps it out of the 4 territory, but everything else is at least inoffensive enough to keep it from being below a 3, so I’ll allow the greatness of those three songs to earn it the half star. Plus, something about this album makes me think this group would be an absolute blast to see live - I’ll definitely be looking into that.
Get innocuous - cool rhythm but not cool for this long. Don't care for the vocals and the mix is muddy Time to Get Away - we're having fun here. The kooky vocals feel better here, sit better in the mix, which is less dense than the first track North American Scum - Step Brothers! A hit, to be sure. The way he sings Canadians is low key goated Someone Great - intro rocks. lyrics hit. Sounds out of tune to me though at points All my Friends - nope Rest of the album - glad it got made. pretty experimental and the lyrics are interesting. Some of the stuff just doesnt sound good though, hurts my ears. 6/10
2.46 per track
I quite enjoyed this! I liked the first, and last two tracks best. The album worked really well as a soundtrack to a self portrait I was painting. It is not the usual music I would choose whilst painting and I think it contributed to me making a different kind of painting. An enjoyable album.
It's OK, don't get the fuss with this album
Some reasonably good songs. Most of them sound quite repetitive though. Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn't what I thought LCD SoundSystem sounded like. Thought they would be more techno/electronic but some songs actually seemed to have good lyrics. Somewhat easy listening, I think I could enjoy listening to this more than once.
Fun n funky. I'd probably enjoy more listens.
A lot more here that I like than I’d initially anticipate. Multiple songs I should go back to. 3.5/5
All My friends good
There are some fun moments and there are some really repetitive moments.
First listen Saved 4/9 Top track: New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down
Fine, but nothing standing out to me on here. I had this over the weekend so had ample opportunity to listen. I’d already played it twice and was about to listen to it a third time but just could not be arse with it again. Not a good sign.
They were a big band for awhile but for some reason never came across my radar. I knew North American Scum as it was used as the intro song to Ron and Fez when I listened to XM Radio, but nothing else was familiar. It was decent. I can see why it's popular.
New York, I love you but...
I randomly bought this CD a long time ago. I don’t know if I’ve ever listened to it in one sitting. It has its moments
All of my friends have great Musical taste but still they love this album much more than I do.
Sounds ok
I was late to this, but managed to be convinced to give it a listen. It’s such a solid album - but something about it will always be a little off to me. The whole experience is a conundrum.
I'm still not overly impressed by LCD Soundsystem, but I thought this one was okay. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad either. "Watch the Tapes" stands out as my favorite because it's the closest to sounding like an actual song.
I often wonder how recency bias feeds into the whole "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" schtick, because we've come across more than a few 2000s era album that have, unfortunately stank like shit. This one doesn't, thankfully, but it's also nothing close to a must listen, its just a lot of mid 00s angst over mid beats...
C'était ben le fun.
I liked it but I did skip a few songs because of the repetitiveness. I would rate it a 3.5 but I don't think I like it enough to push it up to a 4.
Meh it’s a good album just not my cup of tea
Fine for background music while concentrating on something else.
Some really great musical ideas here but I can't get over the singing
Got some pretty funky beats and vocals at first. Got a little too repetitive for my tastes.
Would give it 3.5 if i could. Wiuld be a 4 it it wasn’t as repetitive. New York I Love You is worth 5 stars in it self.
I’m really partial to New York I Love You. Overall, a really nice album. I don’t find it the most interesting all the way through, but I think the singles are worth it.
Repetitive, high pitch bells are annoying
Definitely makes you want to get up and dance.
A little hit and miss for me but I enjoyed North American Scum and All My Friends
Started off enjoying the album, but it became quite repetitive.
Bit of a mixed bag this one. It often sounds very 80's synth-poppy. It's like they were trying to emulate Soft Cell or Human League, but 20 years too late. And they do sound very English, which no doubt prompted "North American Scum", which I quite enjoyed.
At points thought this could be a 4 but quite repetitive in the end with some dull notes. 65/100
Pretty solid. Was playing Super Auto Pets to this. - 6/10
Not a bad album, but I am ambivalent about some aspects like the repetition, lyrics, off-key singing, and song lengths. The production was great though. Overall, there were a few songs I liked, the rest didn't hit.
I already knew the good ones
a little repetitive for me
It was fine but not many memorable tracks. Think I was hoping for more given how much I've enjoyed some of their recent collaborations and remixes.
driving rhythms but found it quite samey
So much fun and so so good. There is so much amazing music!
A few good songs
Dnf. Not bad, just boring
I didn't know what to expect with this one but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a mix of Daft Punk, Postal Service, and The Strokes? Dancy, indie-rocky, personal, and human. Some songs dragged on just a bit too long, but there were plenty of songs to enjoy here. I would give it a 7/10, but I'll round down to a 3/5 just because I probably wouldn't revisit that much. Favorite Songs: Get Innocuous!, Someone Great, All My Friends, Watch the Tapes, Least Favorites: North American Scum,
Wel geinig, sound of silver is wel grappig, verder niet heel bijzonder
Mostly not for me.
Total 80s groove! I could hear some Bill Nelson, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen.... and a smidge of White Stripes. Great driving music! You'd be boppin in your seat and miles be flyin by! Makes you feel like a teenager..... a real life emotional teenager..... 🎶
This album surprised me. I don't usually enjoy super-repetitive electronica rock (with a few exceptions) but there were some really enjoyable tracks on this.
Not bad. Listened while at work and it blended in with the background....so nothing really stood out. It was a worthy listen.
I liked it, not enough for a 4
klassiker aber umghaut hats mi nit
First time hearing this album. It had some good songs with great basslines.
Well this was a pleasant surprise! I was a little deflated when this came up, the band name suggesting to me a purely electronic/dance act. However, what I got was a combination of synthesised beats supplemented - crucially - by scratchy guitar, real drums and impressive bass guitar. It reminded me of an updated iteration of New Order. I really quite enjoyed the first 5 tracks, with opener 'Get Innocuous' and 'Someone Great' being particular standouts for me. However, at 55 minutes, it did outstay its welcome somewhat. So, not a total convert but quietly impressed. The question is, though, will I be tempted to relisten?
B- Get Innocuous! 3 Time To Get Away 3 North American Scum 3 Someone Great 3 All My Friends 3 Us V Them 4 Watch The Tapes 3 Sound Of Silver 3 New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down 4 Better than the other one.
decent EDM Album Som bangers some are way to long of tracks
Modern New Wave Sound. Not bad. Don’t turn it off when it comes on. May listen to more of their stuff in the but don’t think I’ll seek it out. They probably put on a heck of a live show though.
