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.
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.
