LCD Soundsystem: One Thread Is Never Enough

[cobl04]

Sorry, I just woke up. Call the Police is a U2 song. American Dream is probably the better of the two if you ask me, just because it's a bit different.

I like both, but don't immediately love either. I do worry that they've lost the ~magic~ with regards to new songs. It took them over a year to get here since they reappeared. I just wonder if new songs are not coming as naturally as they once did.

Still hella fucking psyched.

 

[PhilsFan]

It's still obviously LCD Soundsystem, but these don't sound like they're from the first three albums, which is exciting.

 

[Mack_Again]

Wow Call the Police is actually a U2 song, thanx Cobbler

 

[BoMac]

The one thing that really stands out to me is how good the production is.

It may be taking them longer to make this album than in the past, but I'll take James at his word when he says this is the most enjoyable and most fun he's had making an album.

 

[PhilsFan]

The opening to American Dream sounds very inspired by Low.

 

[BoMac]

Yeah, so I really love these songs and I'm very excited to hear how they'll sound in the context of the new album.

 

[BoMac]

Every review I read of Call the Police has mentioned U2, and they're not wrong, but I also get a distinctive New Order vibe.

The opening to American Dream sounds very inspired by Low.

It reminds me of The Airborne Toxic Event's most recent album, Dope Machines. The opening, that is.

Aside from that, it sounds like The Killers.

I love them both. Seem to have departed from their old style, but I'm fine with that, because I'm a big fan of this new style too.

I mean you can say that about like 10 LCD songs, but yeah probably why I prefer it.

I like both songs. I think Call the Police just gets off to such a sluggish start. The first minute doesn't do much for me but it's pretty great from then on. The soaring guitar that comes in with about a minute and a half to go is sensational.

But I adore American Dream. The lyrics are depressing as hell, and those tortured, melancholy synth screeches that surround him absolutely sound straight out of the Low playbook.

 

[iron yuppie]

One of the best things about LCD is the Bowie influence running through so much of their work.

 

[cobl04]

American Dream is like a post-apocalyptic version of Drive-In Saturday. I love it.

 

[prbiker15]

I love both songs. Now where's the album?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Ditto. This is great.

 

[iron yuppie]

I didn't think much of these two songs when I first heard them, but now that they are playing frequently on Sirius XM, they are growing on me quick.

Same.

 

[PhilsFan]

I can't get Call the Police out of my head. I really like both songs.

 

[BoMac]

James says the album has been recorded, mixed, and mastered. All that remains is some artwork.

The earliest it will be released is 6 weeks from now, though he said it will likely be a bit longer.

 

[Lancemc]

please dont be lame

Seeing these guys for the first time on Monday - they are playing a series of shows in a small venue close to me. Hell yes.

Congrats, I think you will enjoy. I just scored for the Tuesday show myself, won't be my first time seeing them, but I did get shut out of the last run, so I am excited to see them again and hear the new stuff!

It would become my favorite LCD Soundsystem song.
