fffv did you get a chance to see him (BM) live this year? it was easily my favorite show I've seen in awhile. complete sensory overload in the best way.

Yes. Because it sucks balls.

Really wanted to like the Sumney but it was a bit too sombre-Radiohead for me in the end. Can see the appeal

Same.

this record is not really my thing though i loved the singles

Ended up putting this in my top five. Such a stunning record.

For me it's the fact that LCD Soundsystem they had a pompous farewell show at Madison Square Garden in 2011, instantly packaged for blu-ray. It's just too soon. If they want to make a big deal about reuniting, they should wait another 15 years. Or never would be okay too.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link
love Aromanticism, especially Lonely World. it is quite In Rainbows-adjacent but that's a very good thing to me
the LCD Soundsystem reunion comes off a bit weird after the farewell spectacular, but NIN did a similar thing not too long ago and I don't really have a problem with it, I just wish the album was a little better (it's not even bad, but was certainly overrated in EOY stuff elsewhere)

I really like the idea of Radiohead doing a song where the only lyrics are, "I’m not tryna go to bed with you, I just wanna make out in my car" repeated over and over.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link
The Moses Sumney is gorgeous, and a steady grower - if I was voting now, I'd have placed it higher (and it was already my #10).
― mike t-diva, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 18:50 (six years ago) link
Thom Yorke will evidently end up copying Bjork (as ever) and make a post-breakup 'Tinder album', so not so hard to believe maybe
― imago, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link
I like Gaussian Curve's basic sound on this album so far but I keep wanting something more to happen, either melodically, rhythmically, or texturally.

You could say that about loads of electronic or instrumental or ambient music. Curious why you feel that way about this one in particular.

I don't like the new LCD Soundsystem album, but I don't get being angry about them getting back together too soon. It just seems so unimportant. Listen to the album to decide if you like it or not.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link

― marcos, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 19:01 (six years ago) link
yes, though I like about half of the debut album and 45:33. LCD Soundsystem has become less interesting and fun with each successive album and the couple of songs I've heard from this one lead me to believe that this streak is continuing post reunion.

― gr8080, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 19:06 (six years ago) link
i don’t know much about this band besides that fact that they were in a ton of year end lists, but i did read that the cover art is a photo of the lead singer being held by her uncle
― gr8080, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
which is cool imo
Hadn't made the Radiohead comparison with Moses Sumney (Jeff Buckley in angelic mode was my immediate reaction), but listening now I can hear it on Quarrel for sure, though the last bit resolves into languid Stevie Wonder.
the tiny desk concert is worth putting on if you like him: https://www.npr.org/event/music/566905758/moses-sumney-tiny-desk-concert

I was going to listen to the rest of the album to try to pinpoint an answer to this, put it on headphones this time, and now I'm starting to like it.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link
even if you don't personally enjoy this album there's no denying its achievement, I don't think. this is a good placement for it.

the concrete flipside to L'Rain's abstraction of grief - I like it but it isn't so easy to return to. find the fact of its making most impressive and I'm glad he was able to do it
