Sound of Silver

If there is ever an end of the world party, the headliner would be LCD Soundsystem

Really liked this. Solid throughout and I enjoyed the interplay between the synthetic and real instruments. For some reason this felt more vibrant than the other LCD album I've heard and perhaps I should revisit that one.

:D

This is one of my favorite albums ever. I don't know where it falls on the list, but it's up there. This is a group that knows how to execute a build. All My Friends never, and I mean never, fails to give me full body chills as it expands on itself over those 7+ minutes. Lyrics like "You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan / And the next five years trying to be with your friends again" kind of punch me in the gut in a cathartic way. Someone Great is my second favorite song. After that, it might be Us V Them, and one of my favorite moments on the album is that first "Cloud, block out the sun". I do think Watch the Tapes and Sound of Silver are the weakest tracks, but I've listened to this album so many times that they've grown on me. Happy day to get this album.

HELL YEAH!!!!

Pretty cool

This is one that definitely works best on the headphones. LCD Soundsystem have been one of my fave discoveries of this thing. How had I never heard of them before? Would like to see them live. Was considering giving this a 5 but it doesn’t quite get there. Listened to it multiple times, there are some absolute bangers here

LCD SoundSystem, es decir James Murphy, es una figura capital en la música del siglo 21. Este segundo disco además es de lo mejor de su inmaculada obra. Hitazos como All my friends (ya podrían sonar así The Killers) , North American Scum... convierten a este disco en imprescindible. El resto es para no parar de mover los pies, piernas, todo el cuerpo: Us V Them, Watch the tapes, Time to get away... las únicas que dan un ligero respiro es Someone Great y sobre todo el estupendo final con NY I love you but you´re bring me down. Cierto es que Primal Scream habían abierto la brecha con la electrónica bailable pero LCD SoundSystem la llevaron a otro nivel. The Rapture o !!! estaban en la misma onda, pero LCD han sido mejores y más consistentes. Otros discos de 2007: Arcade Fire / Neon Bible, Low / Drums and guns , Amy Winehouse / Back To Black , Amy Winehouse / Back To Black , The National / Boxer, M.I.A. / Kala, Animal Collective / Strawberry Jam, Spoon / Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Richard Hawley / Lady’s Bridge, Modest Mouse / We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank , Burial / Untrue , Justice / †, Wilco – Sky Blue Sky, Dinosaur Jr. – Beyond, Queens Of The Stone Age – Era Vulgaris, Soulsavers – It’s not how far you fall, It’s the way you land, In Rainbows de Radiohead, EL GUINCHO “Alegranza”, LA CASA AZUL “La revolución sexual”, . MANOS DE TOPO “Ortopedias Bonitas” , HIDROGENESSE “Animalitos” , TRIÁNGULO DE AMOR BIZARRO- TRIÁNGULO DE AMOR BIZARRO...

Quel pied cette musique. Parfaitemente euphorisante. Un 5 étoiles assez évident, quasiment tout est bon, depuis l'ouverture \"Get Innocuous !\", puis l'enchainement \"It's time to get away\", \"American Scum\", \"Someone Great\", \"All my friends\"... C'est le groupe qui me fait regretter de ne pas être cette personne plus extravertie, qui danse pour oublier et célébrer l'instant. Mais jamais je ne m'en suis senti aussi proche.

Oh my God, perhaps one of the most "a good pair of headphones" albums I ever have heard, LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver has been elevated for me beyond on unimaginable limit due to not only its masterclass production, pure danceability and funk, as well as its consistency, but also because it is perhaps the best understanding of what made New York acts like Talking Heads so fantastic. There's variation, there's intrigue, there's layers upon layers upon layers, not unlike Eno's production, to every song so that focusing on just one singular instrument in each track can give you its own groove, its own song entirely. Even when the album slows down for the final track, it is so gripping in its blend of amateur vocals and heartbreaking melancholia that it's hard not to be pulled in. This album just feels like a pure passion project executed to the best of all involved's abilities to deliver one of the most outstanding dance albums of all time; one that can still appeal to those from the past looking for a new dance-y post-punk fix, and those just looking for some 2000s alternative goodness, it is an amazing time no matter how you get here. I just heavily recommend good headphones, you won't regret it when you jump out of your chair to dance.

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.

This album was pretty familiar to me, apparently I listened to it plenty at some point! I really like it, it has its own unique spin on electronic music. A lot of fun and interesting sounds they play with, and good lyrics too. Had a great time listening again.

They should play this in clubs. It would make the whole scene so much more tolerable.

Great dance album. I've heard it several times before this, it's pretty popular. Very groovy with nice beats but it's different from other edm, hard to describe. I'm sure I will be listening to this many more times. I think it's a classic and sonically very interesting.

Real fun album. Classic LCD Soundsystem with the distinct bass/synth lines. Great all the way through.

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.

Not my vibe

Overall a nice sounding thing however a bit monotonous. ‘Someone great’ was indeed great, my fav on the record.

Achei mais animado q o outro...até q gostei desse

is nice

Some great rhythms and some techno vibes here and there. The vocals were also pretty good, they didn't bother me as much as vocals on similar albums. All My Friends and Get Innocuous are both bangers.

I wish it was more like NY,ILY

Not something I'd choose to put on all the time, but full of creativity and very involving. Some of the songs go on a bit too long for me, but I understand that's a feature as they're meant to be danced to.

not really my thing…

Cuatro alto, eh, incluso 4'5

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.

Own it. Love it.

I will say there were a couple of catchy songs. However, mostly this album sounded like something I could make if i wrapped my head in tin foil and went into my garage to fuck with all the miscellaneous shit that I’m storing for no reason. I’d give it three stars, but I now have anxiety with all the shit I have to clear out in my garage which almost brought it to a one…. But I’m still pro tin foil so it gets two!

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.

Perfect album front to back. So hard to pick a favourite song

2 - you know it’s bad when you dislike even the most popular one

James Murphy & the rest of his Soundsystem have a deep working knowledge of the slow build. these songs often stretch as long as 7 or 8 minutes, and somehow they seem to flash by. even for as glacially paced as some of these builds are, they maintain this electrifying sense of intrigue at every moment. the mark of having fun is time flying, after all! Talking Heads is maybe the most obvious influence at play here (to me, at least), but the influence of sixties and seventies minimal music can't be ignored either. as much as these songs are all undeniable jams, they also have a tendency to put me in a bit of a trance, especially the title track. both LCD Soundsystem and minimalism have a strong association with New York City, so I don't know if I can call that a coincidence! the mix of electronic and acoustic instruments to create these dance grooves is near-perfect in its execution. this is no doubt a studio project, but it always maintains a live feel. there's little blemishes in the percussion, synths so big they sometimes clip, and often unrestrained lead vocals, but it's all in service to the groove. Murphy's topical focus is also quite strong, mostly centered around the passage of time and its effects on his life and his mind. while these songs often feel like they're suspended in time, Murphy is well aware that time never truly stops, for better or worse. I relate a lot more heavily to the sentiment of "All My Friends" at 27 than I did when I listened to this album for the first time at 19. decent 9/10.

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

Loved it back in the day, still sounds great.

Very original

I love this album. It's probably a 9/10. It gets a 5 in this format.

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.

I wasn't the biggest fans of other albums of LCD Soundsystem because their mixture of electro pop and rock felt too forced. This album is more coherent though and actually fun. The last track about new York doesn't really fit I find.

Geht gut rein. Sehr gut rein. Nur rein damit.

****a good album. Interesting variety.

Didn't like it

I mean, I’ve listened to this album probably hundreds of times at this point. It’s an all-timer, it’s a classic, it’s 10/10.

Meh

Such a good album

I liked the music but would have liked it better with a different vocalist.

Ok this is awful. Like trying to pretentiously be something new like disco once was... Shallow and tinny. 1 Star

So this is where 'North American Scum' is from. I found the album got a bit boring as it went on. Lots of the same sound throughout, but I really did enjoy 'New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down.' Not what I would usually listen to, but I can tell that it's great.

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.

Day297 - i can hear the strokes and devo listening to this album but i would rather listen to the strokes and devo

Tough between this and This Is Happening on what my favorite of theirs is. Still incredibly strong and a fun listen. Perfect music to work to as well. Rating: 4.8

This album hits all the marks for me. Making loops is very fun, but after so many times you find the loop, no matter how many layers you create, ends up feeling hollow. That's why its more fun playing in a band with other people. Murphy took the benefits of loops, technology, endless instruments etc but didn't let that limit the songs. He still created something with substance and variety. It does sound a bit lonely at times, but it works. Uniquely LCD Soundsystem.

This is honestly probably a five. Lots of great songs and he really defined a very specific New York sound that also has appeal outside that niche. He’s both catchy, danceable and innovative which is a rare combination. Also true: James Murphy has an extremely punchable face and reminds me very viscerally of all the smug hipsters I went to college with. I have no choice but to dock him one point for that, even though it’s completely unfair. New York I love you is a great song.

Besides the three absolute bangers on this album, there are some nice deep cuts. I really like New York, I love you. Watch The Tapes was also good. This album is played a lot. It doesn’t sound overly 2007. It pushes a unique futuristic retro theme that is iconic. Doesnt get old whenever I hear it in the wild

Not my favorite style of music but a fun stretch for me. Overall takeaway: vocals are kinda lame, but the instrumentals are fun

LCD was one of the first shows I saw with my wife, back in 2017 at Brooklyn Steel - just a great live act. I don’t really care for pure electronic music in general, but I love when a band can pull off that sound and vibe with a full band. I also love a full circle/serendipity moment - this was the assigned album on the day my first kid was born - two days ago, over seven years after that first show with my wife. I only got through a few songs in the morning when I went to grab coffees, before things got real. And here I am a few days later back home listening to New York I Love You with him sleeping on my chest. So far fatherhood gets 5 out of 5 stars, and I can’t give his first album anything less. Can’t wait to introduce him to Kollaps.

LCD Soundsystem is so iconic, I hate to admit their better than I thought they were in High School when this music was new.

LCD Soundsystem is quite open about their influences. However, unlike many other artists who draw from similar sources, their songs possess a distinct sound of their own. And this album. their most acclaimed one there is an excellent balance between incorporating influences and creating a unique sound. The opening track, "Get Innocuous!", showcases a clear Krautrock influence, featuring a drumbeat reminiscent of a Neu! album (which I had on this list about a week ago) along with the structural elements that made Kraftwerk famous. "All My Friends" has a structure and lyrical style that could easily fit a New Order song, but James Murphy distinguishes himself through a more Eno/Bowie-esque use of synthesizers and his unique vocal delivery. Speaking of vocals, I find this aspect of the album to be the least impressive. While Murphy's voice isn't bad, it doesn't stand out either. At times, certain vocals actually feel a bit forced. The instrumentals are undoubtedly the highlight of the album. With unique elements such as a cowbell, thumb piano, and glockenspiel, along with great use of drums, synths, and piano, each instrument contributes a distinctive and valuable sound. Nothing feels superfluous, which is a relief. *Sound of Silver* begins very strongly, especially with the tracks ranging from "North American Scum" to "All My Friends." However, the album's quality noticeably declines afterward with three weaker songs. "Us v Them" feels excessively long; "Watch the Tapes" is pleasant with its good drums but lacks anything exciting compared to the other tracks, and the title track also fails to captivate. Conversely, "New York..." may not be the most popular song on the album, but I find it to be one of the better tracks—a fine ballad to close the album.

4.2 - enjoyed a lot, but think with more listens it will maybe get higher

Pretty much a perfect album for me. All My Friends is one of my favourite songs of all time, but every other track hits too. Fave Tracks: all of them 5/5

First song I was iffy off the start but the album changed up often enough keep it cool Will I listen to again: 75%

8/10…interessant Mix aus Electronic mit div anderen Musikgenres

Its like a guy got really really good on his Casio keyboard.

“I have a fever and the cure for that fever is More Cowbell!” Luckily, there is Us vs. Them, which I never thought I would say, but has amazing cowbell! I tripped across LCD years ago and have loved this album since, with my absolutely key track being the aforementioned. The way he builds on rhythm and sound is intoxicating in its repetitiveness. I don’t know if there is a bad track on here. In the context of when this was put out, there was nothing like it. This is definitely a modern classic!

This was my intro to LCD Soundsystem. Who knew dance music could be funny? North American Scum still cracks me up today. Someone Great is heartbreakingly perfect. All My Friends is awesome too. And I personally love the Lou Reed-esque NY I Love You. No band is really like them because they are a little bit rock but also electronic. Kinda dance but maybe more indie. All I know is this is LCD’s best album.

I did not care for this album. I found it incredibly boring, and can't even find a single thing I actually enjoyed about it.

Sound of Silver I’m very familiar with this album, one of my favourites by one of my favourite ‘modern’ bands. I listened to it A LOT when it came out and I still return to it pretty regularly. I cannot believe it's actually 17 years old. Its influences are worn very obviously on its sleeves, with James Murphy clearly magpie-ing from Bowie, Can, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, dance, disco, house, new wave, punk. And while those influences are easily identifiable, they are shepherded together to make something that, although not totally unique, is definitely a great synthesis of all of the above in its own nice The triumvirate of North American Scum, Someone Great and All My Friends is superb, the cornerstone and heartbeat of the album, and encapsulates what I love about LCD Soundsystem. The new wave/punk edged North American Scum with its wryly amusing lyric, the hypnotic drive and build around the rhythmic and pounding keyboard and sincerity of the lyric of All My Friends. But best of all, Someone Great, which I absolutely love, with its pulsing keyboards and noises and its vaguely cryptic lyric about loss, emotionally resonant yet slightly out of touch. Either side of that, I love the layering of Get Innocuous! and the insistency of the groove and drum pattern. I love the drum sound on Time to Get Away, and again the groove is great, with the little riff/break for the chorus and angular/new wave guitar. Brilliant bass groove on Us V Them, I love the cowbell and the breakout into the ‘Block out the sun’ part. Watch the Tapes is yet another great, mesmeric groove with a great beat and another sardonic lyric - 2 new wave dance bangers. I’ve always liked the lyric of Sound of Silver and the song is a great dazed and moodily atmospheric track built around those words and some excellent keyboard noises. New York I Love You is a great closing track after all the dance driven grooves, with it’s more conventional arrangement and almost doo-wop verses. I love this album, from the sound of the drums and keyboards to the vocal style, the wry lyrics and the fantastic danceable grooves interspersed with genuinely emotionally impactful moments. It’s very easy for this type of album to fall into the trap of hipsterish imitation, but the fact that James Murphy is a bit older than his peers and his undoubted skill as a synthesist of his influences makes this a cut above, and one of my favourite albums of the last 20 years. Easy peasy 5. 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 Playlist submission: Someone Great Ps, the album after this, This Is Happening is also excellent, and if you like it it’s worth checking out their other 2 albums. The first one is a little rough around the edges but has some great tracks and American Dream, their last one, has a slightly older, more mature feel to it. The 45:33 mix is also good, some of the musical moments and parts in that got pulled into Sound of Silver.

I like the vibes of LCD Soundsystem very much! All my Friends is a bop.

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

Not bad, but just not an album I was ever able to get into. Surprisingly fresh and more song-oriented than some other electronic-esque albums, but still falls into droning 7+ minute songs with no real reason to go on that long. Some decent songs that are less electronic. Top tracks: North American Scum; New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down

A little too much filler, but the songs that hit hoo boy

Okay dance/electronica, but not an album that engages me

I don't know if I'm cool enough to get this album.

I’m a big can of LCD Soundsystem. This album and their debut self-titled one are classics. 100% good. lCD Soundsystem are playing at my house!

Masterpiece from the north American scum

Really interesting sound! Not my personal bag but this is very unique.

Maso

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.

five stars not because i think it's perfect music, but because it's an album that means a lot to me

Mostly I just feel like I don't get it

Loved it, refreshingly different

++: 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

Wow. Ez úgy volt szar, hogy közben pörgősebb volt. Ah dzsízösz, vége lesz ennek a sornak valaha, könyörgök???

ez egészen érdekes volt viszont

That was excellent! I had never heard it before and I will be hearing it many many times in the future.

wow ... didn't expect this! I liked it ... don't know why though. Great album, even with all the long tracks although 'all my friends' did attack me with that bloody repetitive piano :( Kept me engaged from first track to last with its organic repitition, even that (rather thin) voice seemes to fit, funnily enough I thought the first and last tracks especially good and idiomatic.

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.

Great timing for this one and a certified banger. You have the outrageously funky North American Scum and Watch The Tapes, along with the emotional punch of Someone Great. I never quite got New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down but it makes a good comedown closer, I must admit. I've always considered LCD Soundsystem one of those acts I like the idea of them more than I actually like their music but this was their finest hour and it's a top, top record.

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 really enjoyed this fusion of rock, electronica and funk! It was miles better than the other electronic albums I've gotten for this project so far; not as repetitive and with a lot more vocals. I did not love every song on there, but none of them made me want to hit the skip button. Can't believe I've never heard of this artist before! I'm going to check out his entire discography for sure. 4 stars

I don't get it

Blah

This was a fun album! I especially enjoyed the final song on the album, it is still relevant today

I was just waiting for it do end. I guess I'm just a hater.

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

whatever spotify paid for me to stream this album was too much and i want a refund.

LCD Soundsystem have such a unique vibe. I do feel 'This is Happening' is the better one and I hope it is included in this book, but 'Sounds of Silver' is still pretty sick. My main issue with LCD is that James Murphy's verse barrages can sometimes be at American Pie level. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it really grates (see North American Scum). 7 / 10 All My Friends, Someone Great and Get Innocuous the bigger hitters here, for me.

The good songs I really vibe with, but the others just sound like TJ Maxx/Target music.

3.9 1x airport listen

LCD Soundsystem brought back my hangover. 6/5

whiny american vocals and painful recurring loops. not for me

I think it loses its momentum a bit towards the end but otherwise really good

Life changing

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!

James Murphy kind of sounds like Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand on a few tracks. I feel like this album is like combining Talking Heads with Daft Punk. Instrumentally, fun album with really good percussion and synth.

Last time I got an LCD album, I hated it. This time, not too bad. Though too repetitive at times. Not terrible though

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Was distracted by work while I listened, so I need to give parts of it a second hear but it was good.

fine

Unreal album any EDM or electro fans ...this is a must

Worst title track ever.

3.5, different sounding rock

I wont dance to this in public but I will when I clean my house.

alright

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.

Great moments of sound design and melody

Better than expected for electroniia. Notables NA Scum Sound of Silver New York

listened to the songs many times but never the full album

I honestly expected to like this more. It's kinda like if you left your college roommate alone with a turntable and this is what they cooked up after 3 days straight. I like his other stuff, this just didn't work for me

Not the best LCD Soundsystem but great anyway

A bit repetitive.

I didn't like the vocals at all. The sound didn't have much depth. However, listening to the album, I'm wondering if this group would be better live. I've been to a couple of shows where the bands were actually better live than their recorded albums.

love it

This album is immediately set for failure because of the first song, which was definitely a 1-star track, and it was also way too long (7 minutes). Then the songs were 1.5-star ones, so nothing too special, but because there were a couple of decent-sounding track (the majority just being repetitively annoying where nothing happens) I would rate this 2 stars, and I am very generous.

Fun listen, it had a good mix of dancey electronic and emo/punkish vibes. Favorite songs were 3. North American Scum 4. Someone Great 9. New York, I Love You (this was the perfect song to end on) 8/10

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.

Pretty repetitive at times but I don't mind it? Good music to work to. I have always absolutely loved that song "All My Friends"

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

There was only one or two "good" songs and they were OK at best

i love

me deu dor de cabeca

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™️.

Cool band name. Sometimes sounded like a modern version of Depeche Mode, especially in 'Someone Great' and 'Sound of Silver'. Also reminded me a bit of Talking Heads at times, like in 'Us V Them'. Generally I preferred the songs that were entirely electronic, compared to the ones sounding like it had acoustic instruments in it. My top songs were probably 'Get Innocuous', 'Someone Great', and 'Sound of Silver'. The general experience was a bit mixed. The songs differed quite a lot from each other, and there were some that I liked much better than others. Still, after just skimming through it again I feel like it's quite an interesting album. I'm going out on a limb and giving it a weak 4 because I felt like it was quite different from a lot else we've heard, and they managed to get quite a few good songs in actually. Still, a bit of an uneven album,

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.

Dance rock? Art rock? Trip rock? Rolling rock? Not-a-rock? Can become overly repetitious but lyrics generally make up for this.

Sucks. Turned it off halfway through.

Pretty cool but aturulla

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 ...

Much better than I remembered it

This is the kind of album I need to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy, and I’d probably rate it differently from one day to another. I’d put it at either a 3 or a 4, but it just so happens it’s finding me on the right day. “I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision for another 5 years of life.” Love that line. 4/5 Highlights: All My Friends New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down

Guay!

Enjoyable

10/10

Not for me. Too electric

Bowie with an 808, innovative, bouncy and fun

Geht so

Un álbum realmente espectacular. Actualmente, LCD Soundystem es reconocido como uno de los compositores y productores musicales más interesantes de Estados Unidos, y "Sound of Silver" demuestra por qué. La energética combinación de electrónica y rock, con una estética "Indie Sleaze", hacen de este LP un producto de su época en el mejor sentido posible. Un sonido único que está volviendo a la palestra, y que probablemente vivirá en el inconsciente colectivo de todos los jóvenes (y no tan jóvenes), por su capacidad de catarsis. Sumamente recomendable.

14.10.10

- 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!

Super weird. I like it a lot after getting past the second and third songs that I didn’t care for. A lot of it was super jammin but than it’s like transcending with the last song. Pretty cool.

all good except for "Someone Great" second half of the album is better.

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

Ah this was my time, New Rave era... I saw LCD Soundsystem the same year this came out, probably wearing a load of plasticky neon jewellery and a CSS t-shirt. Not entirely sure why I stopped listening to them - I think this has aged really well compared to some other stuff of the same era, so happy to have a nudge to get back to them.

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.

James Murphy can fuck off

American Scum is pretty good. That's about it.

I really don’t think this band is for everyone. But, this is one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands. It combines so many of my favorite genre elements, from punk to disco to even Phillip Glass-esque repetitive sound. More LCD Soundsystem.

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.

I heard “Someone Great” from this album while shopping at The Gap with my future spouse. That prompted me to download the entire album and I listened to it incessantly through a challenging professional period In my life. This is a five star album for me, personally. You may not agree, and that’s OK, but sometimes the emotion and the quality of music intertwine exquisitely.

I mean, come on.

I'm in a bad mood at the moment and have a headache, but I'm pretty sure I like this.

Varied, interesting soundscape

This was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t really expecting to like it, but thought it was actually pretty good. Mostly, anyway. It feels like a 3.5/5, so I guess it’s only fair to round up to a 4.

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.

Lucky find. I know the group lately, nit early stuff, and this is pretty good. Nice job!

Favourite Song: North American Scum

correct

I don’t revisit this enough

Surprisingly solid album. Great closer too.

I like LCD Soundsystem, and they're definitely cool, but I'm not always in the mood to listen to them, if that makes sense. Before listening to this, I only knew American Dream, so I was late to the party. I do like American Dream more. But this is creative, groovy, and hypnotic in places. The final track was an interesting surprise and roots them firmly in NY, (which I know is where they're from).

I had heard the name but never listened to an album. Enjoyed it

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

I get why some might not like this one but it's got a few cracking tunes on it. Its not a relaxing listen, every song is very sharp and "spiky"...I don't have the musical knowledge to describe it properly.

I love LCD Soundsystem and this album has some great tracks but it's also not their best. Maybe other albums are on here? 3.5 rounding up

LCD Soundsystem is the Wilco of electronic music. Meaning everyone has that uncle that's way too into them.

Great. I have NA Scum on repeat on regular playlists

Honestly, I've listened to this a number of times over the years but this time I was surprised. I think I usually make it through the first half of the album, which is certainly "catchier", but the real quality of this album comes from the second half. Us V Them, Watch the Tapes, Sound of Silver and NY really elevate the album experience. Especially Sound of Silver which probably became my favorite track. While it's not perfect (the minimalist electronic instrumentals are more of a hinderancs in some places than a boon), still a really solid album. 4/5.

For a band I’ve never heard of, I know a lot of their music from video games and movies

2.5 stars. It was ok but not one song that grabbed me

Some good some bad.

hip tones for robot people. if a yuppie was turned into music

Meh, 3 stars

Good album. A couple of brilliant tracks

Quirky but funky

Honestly, every song on this album is at least good, so I feel like I can give it this, even if it’s not necessarily a favorite.

A very good album. Lots of variety. One of my favourites from 21st century

Interesting! Didn’t really feel it with he first song but somehow every song sounds to be like it’s a different genre almost, have to see I definitely enjoyed it!

Hell yes dude, this is what dance punk is all about. But this is more like progressive dance punk, it just transcends genre labels. Fucking love this album.

I really liked this album! I ended up listening to it at least twice (mostly because I had shit to do so I was focused on that) and I like the song that the 1975 copied a lot (it's now on my playlist)

My favourite LCD soundsystem album. The best songs I've heard about grief and losing control of your life.

Reminds me of playing Forza 2 at my old place back in the 00s - despite none of these tracks being in that game. I guess LCD Soundsystem have a sound - and that isn't a problem, because that sound is good.

Not objectionable but dance electronic not really my thing

Man this album sounds like they just took songs from the ends of Bob's Burgers episodes and made them into full songs. I didn't want to like this as much as I did. A fun album. 4/5

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.

My favorite LCD Soundsystem album. It just hits all the right boxes for me. Upbeat, nostalgic, and many more.

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

Listened on repeat Never soured, kept moving feet, So fun, so unique

dance music for nerds

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 is strongly in the category of "I don't get it." Not that it's bad, like some stuff on this list (cough Sex Pistols cough), not that I just don't care for it, like other things... I just don't get why they are so praised. It's fine. I'm not hearing anything new here, just that kind of generic "popular indie" sound. Not even in a way that feels unique, more defined, more developed, or even particularly better than their contemporaries. What about them is so good? Why is THIS the group that so many different people I know seem to be so into? I get things like Glass Animals, even if I don't like them. Same with Halsey, Greta van Fleet, Foo Fighters, even the damn Sex Pistols. I usually "get" why most of these albums are here. But this?

I know this appeals to some, but I find it repetitive and difficult to find a way to enjoy. I don't like moving to Electronica. So not my flavor, but I wish we'll to those who dig it.

Never heard of them... was dreading to have to sit through an EDM or techno album, and my first listen was anything but joyful. Then I gave the album a second "spin"... and I find it infectiously fun! Though I wouldn't go so far as to call this Rock, or whatever, but I can see why there are so many people more than happy to see this album on the list, and to think I was convinced that nothing noteworthy has been created since the '90s ;-) 4****

This album was a surprise! I didn't expect it to be good, but, it's outstanding! I had fun listening to this masterpiece.

Fantastic album on the borderline between rock and dance. "North American Scum" and "All My Friends" are great songs and the highlight is "Someone Great". All songs deliver a lot of energy and positivity.

High highs and medium-low lows. I wish I had seen these guys in their prime. My favorite song of theirs, Daft Punk Is Playing At My House, is not on here but some other really good ones are, like All My Friends and North American Scum.

I own this album, and really enjoy their sound, so although this particular selection didn't introduce me to a new band, it's a great excuse to re-listen to a band/artist I enjoy. I don't feel like it's as strong as their debut album (certainly not as light-hearted), but "All my friends" and "Time to get away" are definitely among the band's better songs, and songs like "North American Scum" and "Us v them" help balance things out on the lighter end. And pretty cool that the "someone" of "Someone great" is a tribute to Dr. George Kamen (of group therapy fame) . I know it's purely coincidence, but it's a weird experience listening to this album right after Thundercat's "Drunk" album. They both feel like very personal experiments in a kind of odd music space (even though I know "Drunk" was ten years later).

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.

I was introduced to LCD Soundsystem via the video game GTA IV, which made good use of the track Get Innocuous! mixing the in game gunfire to the staccato drums. The album matches quirky, danceable beats with a flat vocal style that shares a lot of DNA with New York acts like Talking Heads. Apparently, James Murphy hated recording his vocals so covered the studio with tin foil because reasons, hence the album name. So hipster. Much New York. Very Dance.

I knew they existed but never really paid attention to them. To be honest I thought they were a dub band (I mean, who put 'soundsystem' in their name apart from dub bands?). I actually find this kind of mix between electronica and rock entertaining. I wouldn't listen to it all day long, but it's fun. I'm not too fond of the voice that reminds me a bit too much of early '00 rock revival bands.

Great experimental and innovative music with a great flow.

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

A lovely ode to NYC

7/10. It has some nice songs on it. Although, it didn't feel too groundbreaking. :)

I loved this album.

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.

I dig Talking Heads, I really like my art school friends, and house parties are fun, but LCD Soundsystem is not for me.

Eh

Very solid album, but I like This is Happening more

Couple of good songs but just boring for most of the way.

New York I love you but you're bringing me down is fun, the rest of it is too EDM for moi.

can be fun if you're in the right mood. other times it can be tedious and boring.

Love!

Truely feels like the begining of the heavy electronica being an obvious novelty but also actually in service to the music. An incredible feat.

A perfect example of music that's dancy, electric, eclectic, and dynamic all at the same time. The comparisons to Talking Heads are apt, although they definitely lean into the electronics more, and are not as globally influenced as some of the Talking Heads stuff. With the exception of "All my friends" (frankly, a bit of a dud), all the songs are incredibly solid and fill out their time well. As an album, it never gets boring with its sound, each song has its own strongly unique fingerprint on this album. I'm a bit biased because I've listened to this album a lot before, but I know I love it, and getting it in this challenge was a treat.

This album is not for me.

annoying voice and weightless music: truly emblematic of 2007!

Gotta say I enjoyed this. Triggered the Kraftwerk/Blondie/Giorgio Moroder disco-cheese pleasure centers in my brain. It's a long stretch tho.

This album could have lasted about about 10 minutes if you delete all of the duplicate words. Last track was the best one of the album.

The first half of this album is god tier and 'all my friends' is one of my top five songs of all time. It's fun, clever, cool, funky, danceable, heartfelt, energetic, uplifting and well made in terms of musicality and production. It does what good music does and fills my heart with happiness.

I never gave this a chance when it came out, and that was a mistake it’s full of great tunes!

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.

This is an album I was fully expecting to like. But playing it was so unrewarding - I spent the time trying to place all the influences. I disliked the vocals and I found the album strangely unengaging and repetitive.

A modern classic. Their debut album had its moments but was irritating at times. This album is more consistent and has much better songs. I can also appreciate their later work, but overall those albums are not as good as Sound of Silver.

Get Innocuous is amazing and by far the best track on the record. The rest of the album is just okay.

Several nice songs, but a couple, e.g., the opener, bring it down.

Liked the end better than the beginning and of the album

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.

Corny throughout but I think after getting over the stink of dance pop there's something heartfelt and good to jam around to.

Another album that would be more interesting without vocalizations being annoying over top of it.

If Jonathan Richman fronted Le Tigre. Not bad. A bit too poppy though.

All song were fantastic but like 8 minutes

really fun album! my first of lcd soundsystem, and im glad i listened, it was a blast. 8/10

Quando as guitarras encontram com o melhor das batidas eletrônicas garantem 55:55 imersos num espetáculo sonoro.

1st time listening. Very enjoyable; loved the first 2 reviews about it. Good time had by me.

Way too repetitive for me. The sound was fun and upbeat for the most part, but each song was soooo repetitive and seemed to go on and on. I did really like the last song, New York I love you but…

Grew on me!

I don't know what I thought LCD Soundsystem was, but I was very wrong. I went in to this album expecting more awful electronica and instead found something closer to Talking Heads meets Radiohead. I'm not sure how I missed this band, but I'm sad I did. I was going to do a track by track break down, but there's no point. It's all great. And the video for "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" — How did I miss this? How? 5/5

Some decent energy, it was fun to listen to on a run. I don't know if this is a masterpiece or I'm just missing something here. It didn't bother me and I had a good time listening but doubt I'll come back. There were a couple of moments that made me wonder if I should though.

The lyrical content and compositions are are pretty good across the board. Some songs stick around a little too long. The music, although a little flat feeling at times draws my attention. Someone Great and New York, I Love You... are my favorites.

this is getting rough, so many terrible albums

When someone great is gone!!!

I liked this one quite a bit.

A fun album which was well timed with Glasto! I don't have that many associations with them, like I don't have any personal memories. I enjoyed listening to this though. Never done a while LCD album I don't think. Well rounded easy listening

As if, we see them at Glastonbury and then have this album! Well it's obviously a certified K-Town BANGER! SO GOOD. Someone Great is my fave LCD song for sure.

Surprisingly good. I enjoyed the North American track especially.

👏 clap clap

It was alright. I'm not clamoring for more but that teenager song was easy to sing along to

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.

Yeah? Yeah! All my reference points were old man music but I think I got it.

Spectacular album. I hear the strokes, depeche mode, and Talking Heads. I cried during All My Friends. Earth shattering shit right here. Easy 5.

I was kind of surprised this album is in the book. Not because it is a bad album but because I think their self-titled is more influential (and this book seems to favor influential/initial albums) and This is Happening is a better album. Overall, this book needed some LCD Soundsystem in it. I probably would not have chosen this album as representative of them. Someone Great, New York..., North American Scum. All great songs and it is odd to me the middle of this album is the strongest part.

2.5

not the worst but the songs are too long

Nice one, growing on me. Will explore them more!

This makes me feel very uncomfortable

It’s about 10 minutes too long but there are some gems on here.

It’s ok

Pretty nice

"New York, I Love You..." is a gem! Rest is decent

Album would be cooler if each song was half as long

Bit boring eh.

A really solid listen. There was so much going on and everything thing had a purpose. Definitely added on my playlist.

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

A perfect sophomore release. Dancey and prophetic.

Barrgh… this is too repetitive for my taste

A quintessential dance punk album that just happens to end with one of the most beautiful ballads ever recorded. This grows on me every time I hear it and, while I don’t love the title track, it’s an otherwise pretty stellar record
