if the last record was a top five for you why would you doubt that the next one may be good?
"the disco re-edit formula" doesn't descrie any LCD soundstystem record i've heard, certainly not the first album or any of the singles.
also LCD soundsystem are a band not a "he". i appreciate your magnanimity in agreeing to download it "when it hits" though.

I'll download it for the test drive, obv. I always buy what I download-and-subsequently-dig.
LCD Soundsystem are a band where James Murphy writes the songs, does the vocals, and controls the publicity. He's the only personality in the group. I think using the pronoun is not unjustified.
You're right, though, "disco re-edit" was the wrong term to use. The disco punkfunk motions he goes through are what I was referring to, and "disco re-edit" is its own sound with its own tradition. My drop.

this demonstrates what can happen in my brain when a catchy-if-not-particularly-adventurous record suddenly becomes really, really popular.
Why does it matter whether it's popular or not? And popular by what standard, anyway? Has the album even gone gold? I doubt it...

Stephen King definitely likes this record. It has a nice-sized role in the beginning of his new 1000+ epic, Under The Dome.

Rusty Hatfield had switched the radio on for company as he sat silently in his rusting 1988 Ranger. He was confronted by the last few howls of the man the dee-jay assured him was LCD Soundsystem (what kind of first name was that?) and flipped it off as quickly as he'd turned it on.
"Give me the Ramones any day," he muttered, and continued to think about killing his wife.

I haven't read much he's done lately, but as a kid in the 80s I read them all. This one just sounded really interesting, and amazon was selling it for $9..... I'm only on page 50 or so, but so far so good. It's very gruesome, though. Moreso than his others, or at least how I remember them.
LOL on the Rusty Hatfield thing, but what actually happens is considerably more disturbing.
A woman is outside gardening when the dome comes down. Her arm is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and her hand is severed. She comes into the house where her husband is listening to Sound of Silver. He tries to stem the bleeding as North American Scum goes into Someone Great, into All My Friends. The husband wants to shut it off, but he can't let go of her arm. She bleeds out somewhere in the middle of side 2.

― piscesx, Friday, 26 March 2010 03:48 (sixteen years ago)
I'm not sure what I think of "Drunk Girls," and I'm a HUGE LCD Soundsystem fan. Kanye's "Drunk and Hot Girls" > James Murphy's "Drunk Girls" (although I've although thought "Drunk and Hot Girls" is incredible and one of the best tracks on Graduation). "Pow Pow" sounds more promising, but I really like Murphy when he has more synths on a song than guitars.

I dunno, as great as the albums are, you can count the number of truly inspired strokes on one hand - most of his work is cribbed from other junk. I think LCD definitely fulfilled their potential
― frogbs, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 13:20 (fourteen years ago)
People say this. To some extents it's true, but I think LCD's 80s new wave influence is often overemphasised. They were among the first to actively revive that post-punk sound, which is an original move in its own way. Plus they were a great dance-pop band who really knew their way around a tune when they needed to. When they hit those peaks, they really did - the driving synth/beats and clever lyrical device on 'Losing My Edge', that first song ('Shame On You'?) off 45'33, Yeah (Crass Version) and several moments on SoS - but there were so many bits that dragged or didn't quite hit the mark, and that third album was... well it was a difficult third album, wasn't it?
― Post-Manpat Music (dog latin), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 13:43 (fourteen years ago)
I do think he was able to rise above the reputation of "new wave revivalist" like say Cut Copy or similar acts. Murphy really did know how to get things done properly and did a great job not settling or pressing on when things looked to fizzle out. Still, I wonder how this band is going to be remembered in 20 years. Certainly "Someone Great" and "All My Friends" will still be played. "Yeah" and "Losing my Edge" too. I don't know if they'll be seen as some Dukes of Stratosphear-type gimmick or what. Bump this thread in 20 years, I guess
