This would be my pick for the user part of this website. I‘m at a crossroads in life and I feel seen by this album. James Murphy encapsulates very succinctly and in a dancing manner my feelings for my first half of my twenties. I‘m too young to remember the start of LCD Soundsystem‘s actual career, heck the band broke up just as I was getting into my My Chemical Romance phase where I thought the Black Parade was the pinnacle of music. Luckily (or unfortunately) I was later on „civilized“ by my dear friends and especially by the LP collection of my friend’s father. Ziggy Stardust was probably the first album I actually thought was better than the Black Parade. The point of this tangent: if I was actually a Person when LCD Soundsystem became big, I would probably love their earlier albums more, but alas, I have to be the contrarian this time Every single song on this album speaks to me on some level, it feels like Murphy knows exactly what I‘m thinking about, even though I‘m just some random guy trying to hold it together day by day. He gets my romanticizing of New York City (even though I‘ve never been there), he gets my love for apparent esoteric bullshit that can be applied to anything you want, and most importantly I think he gets my feeling of being stuck in life in all aspects, apart from getting older. Musically it feels so much more mature, cold and distant than their earlier work. Despite the coldness it has very high highs, I get goosebumps every time I hear the break down of „one step forward… and six steps back!!!“, it‘s probably my favorite part of the album. The title track with it‘s „sha-bang, sha-bang“ is another highlight and then the following „emotional haircut“ is a great „up beat“ post-punk track that sounds like it could come directly from the 80‘s if it wasn‘t Murphy‘s vocals bringing us to the present. I don‘t really know what exactly Murphy wants to convey with his songs, I‘m not really a person who reads obsessively about music, I just listen to music and stop and think about the music I really like, and the albums that feel like they are speaking to me get bonus points. In the end I think it‘s a very hopeful album, despite it‘s very cold and clinical sound. Yeah, the lyrics aren‘t really happy-go-Lucky, but it feels like a trauma dump of sorts. Maybe the world would be a better place if more people would trauma dump with good music. Many will disagree, but I do think this belongs in the top 100 albums of all time, easily a 5/5. I hope more people will come to love this album, hopefully without having the anxiety and depression that I‘ve experienced. Ultimately I just wish that more people would dance to LCD Soundsystem. I know I wrote a lot of bullshit, but let a white boy yap for once. 5/5

Now this, this is a certified masterpiece. For some it is probably a bit too harsh, maybe the 9 minute behemoth that is „Luau“ is too much to handle, but if you can go into this album with an open mind, and preferably with a background in punk/hardcore, then you‘ll feel right at home. My dear friend showed me this album a few years ago and I‘ve been in love ever since. It‘s not as emotionally meaningful to me as other albums, but the sound is just crushing. It‘s like a truck with cinderblocks hitting you, and that‘s a very hard feeling to convey in music. If you liked this album I urge you to check out their debut album. RIP Rick Froberg 5/5

Före: Ha aldrig lyssna på rolling stones förutom deras hits, så ja vet ungefär hur dom låter Efter: inge speciell blues rock, lite bleh

Before listening: Am I going to really listen to Adele?? During listening: Break up albums are always a bit meh with me, especially if the focus is on a singer and not the band as a whole à la Taylor Swift, Lorde and other countless starlets of bygone days. This album seems to not be an exception. She is a very good singer, but for me it has to be an interesting package as a whole, be it with interesting composition, instrumentation or whatever. He won't go is a very good track. After Listening: Boring with a nice highlight. Probably never going to listen to it again. I find it hard to imagine that people actually get passionate about this album.

Before listening: I’m pretty familiar with Talking Heads, but never listened to their debut album apart from the well known singles During: it‘s pretty good this far. It has that Talking Head weirdness, but it‘s not at the level of their later albums. It has more „punk“ influences I guess, not really a surprise for an album from 1977 After listening: really good, not as good as their later material, but still very fun

Before listening: I‘ve only listened to their self-titled before, not really my genre but we will see After listening: actually pretty fun, won’t be listening to it again in a while

Very good very nice

Just sounds like a greatest hits album, no red thread. It‘s just your usual ABBA

Pretty boring, but nothing wrong with it. Coconut is a banger

Unc the album

Terrible

Wowee zowee

Very good very nice

Built their gig core

Dadcore to the mega

Amzng

Legalize nuclear weapons

Cringe

Yahoo

More like the bore lmao

I got Bob Marley pilled

Actually good U2 album??? Can’t be

Goes cray cray

Only album fron radiohead that I‘ll admit to loving

Influential? Absolutely A bit boring? Most definitely

I really just don't like Jagger & Co, better than the other rolling stones albums this far at least

The beatles is way better

Bangs but it‘s a ons

Only really banging wilco album, but a very banging one indeed Easily a top 100 album

Lowkey a pretty decent album

Just breathe

Nonce music

I‘m just not build for this

Low key banging acrually

Proto britpop

A lot of murders

TALKING HEADS! But just before their trio of masterpieces

Better than aja!!!

Cuh-lassic! Paranoid is the better album, but this is still very good

I know my friend will crucify me for this one, but I just do not get deep purple. Not to say that it is a bad record, but I just don’t really get it. In my heart it‘s a 3/5, but to keep the peace I will give it a 4/5

A bit shite innit

Hey I love the message, but it‘s just a primitive record

Positively surprised. I remember dismissing the album the first time around when I was 15-16 years old. I never was a big fan of the title song, but it really fits in the album context. It‘s a classic not understood by me the first time around. It could be a 5/5 someday for me

Absolute classic. Hendrix is my idol as a pure musician, and that‘s coming from a natural bassist

Probably my favorite Springsteen album

I‘m synchronized now

It‘s pj harvey, our queen, but it‘s not one of her masterpieces

Now this, this is a certified masterpiece.

This is some certified soft rock! Didn‘t know it could get this groovy. One of the albums where I liked the bonus songs as well

Nice story to it, shitposting before shitposting was cool

Captain Beefheart is a legend, it‘s a shame that I don‘t enjoy his music that much

Radiohead is my guilty pleasure band and I do have to quote the melon in saying that this feels like a Kid A B-Sides album. Some very good material on here though, but it just doesn’t have that red thread

This is one of those albums I don‘t put on when I want to have a good time. Masterful instrumentation, amazing atmosphere, it‘s just not really a fun time.

Funny album

Eclectic, but a bite shite

The older I get the less I like The Smiths, especially post Meat Is Murder. Maybe it‘s blasphemous to admit that, I really just do not like Morrissey

It‘s a classic for a reason

Not old enough to actually like dadrock

Idk, I love Talking Heads, but this is pretty low on the totem pole. Maybe I will regret giving it this review after my enlightened friend absolutely trashes me

I‘m getting older. From my teenage years until yesterday I actively did not like this album. There was just something off with it, but yesterday I realized that this is really an amazing album. Maybe it‘s my age speaking now, I‘ve started to like Steely Dan as well. I‘m not even that old
