New LCD Soundsystem album

[PhilsFan]

I wasn't expecting a song called "Drunk Girls" to be the next "All My Friends." I'm digging this one.

 

[lazarus]

Reminds me of Bowie's Boys Keep Swinging.

And the second half of the song is twice as good as the first half. Strong finisher.

 

[Jive Turkey]

i think it'll be fun to dance to.

 

[u2popmofo]

Mother!
Father!
Caribou!

The whole thing would work a lot better without the "drunk girls/drunk boys" shouts. I like J. Murph's delivery, the song is as propulsive as you'd expect, and it's busy without sounding cluttered. So basically what you're accustomed to with LCD. But those shouts really take away from the total package for me, making what could have been a poor man's "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" into a rich man's "Give It Up."

Well this guy doesn't know what to think:

It feels more like "North American Scum" than anything else to me.

But new LCD? Thank the maker.

You can find one on The FORK! still. They updated their lead news story with a new link.

It looks like a crappy Desert Island cover. Here There Be Flow*.




*WTF?

 

[lazarus]

Surprised that Murphy put himself on the cover, but I actually like it a lot. Very 80's, but in a cool Elvis Costello/Tom Waits way.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Whats the deal with the flow meme anyway?

I don't even remember its origins, but the point is that no one knows what the fuck flow means.

Agreed, I like it.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I... think I like it more than Sound of Silver's cover.

 

[Lancemc]

Fucking awesome cover. Easily my most anticipated album of the year. Starting to feel the excitement boil in my blood.

...wat

Mmm.

 

[PhilsFan]

For some reason it's posted twice. Whatever. Enjoy it x2.

In my opinion, his quality of music has consistently deteriorated from the first album onward...along with the covers. Granted, we haven't heard the new record yet, but "Drunk Girls" is far worse than anything on the other releases. Sound of Silver was a great album and "All My Friends" was an amazing track, but it wasn't the genre defining behemoth that the debut happened to be. SOS barely made my Top 30 that year.

I agree, but his stuff is still entertaining. Nothing wrong with music being fun.

Sound of Silver > self-titled

[Lancemc]

Yeah, Sound of Silver is quite a bit better. Nah, it's a lot.

He's been pulling a Fredo, most likely.

You get 'em, COBL.
