 Got me into electronic July 8, 2008

I was one of those classic rock guys that thought the vast majority of new music sucked. Then one of my friends forced me to consume LCD Soundsystem and I realized that the new music revolution is here and it involves people with laptops. The first listen might be a little awkward, but before you know it, you're dancing on the street, laughing at lyrics that are too real and finding yourself becoming... an electronic music fan.
Check out the "Bunch of Stuff" remixes. They break it wide open.
That's how it starts. April 29, 2008

The first thing I need to acknowledge is that I usually hate Dance/ so called Electronic music, primarily for terribly repetitive lyrics and music that only approaches a good idea after a lot of mixed drinks. Still, when I heard "North American Scum" with it's sarcastic/ironic lyrics and catchy melodies, I was hooked. Yet it would be several more months before I would get the rest of the album. Hearing them live on the World Café playing "All My Friends" and other tracks made me reconsider, like "Get Innocuous!" and "Us V Them" along with Amazon's bargain price. The witty lyrics and catchy music make this an outstanding listen. This is the perfect album to drive around with as well as work out to and yes, even dance to.

Here is the best electronic album from 07, and definitely LCD's strongest yet. While most of the cd is full of fun/quirky melodies and infectious beats, the highlight of the album - "Someone Great" - is subdued and melancholy. Possibly the best song of 07. Also, don't get the impression that this is a straight electronic album (The Field this aint), but this is definitely a rock album too. Party rock. Except for "Someone Great"... Just do yourself a favor and buy it.
Also recommend Battles' 'Mirrored'

A fun and entertaining album, especially if you like 80s electronic pop bands. Many of the songs sound like tribute pieces to various bands of that era (Kraftwerk, Human League, New Order, even the B-52s), and I can't imagine this album existing without those influences. One star off for that, but four stars on for the catchiness of the cuts, the variety of sonic styles, and the witty lyrics.
I find myself listening to this album...over and over again! October 21, 2007

I bought this album on a whim after hearing North American Scum on the radio, and fell in love with it ever since! Basically, if you enjoy indie/alternative/techno/experimental music, this album doesn't disappoint.
What's great is that each song has it's own unique feeling. You've got your dance-driven tracks like Get Innocuous, Us V Them, and more mellow tracks like Someone Great, and the ballad-like New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down. Even after my first listening, I could distinguish songs apart, and it didn't all "blend together". I'm not familiar with anything off of LCD Soundsystem's debut album, but after listening to Sound of Silver, I'm looking into buying that too.
At only $6.00 for the MP3 Album download, it's well worth the money!
Best tracks: Get Innocuous!, Time To Get Away, North American Scum, Us V Them, Watch the Tapes, Sound of Silver
If you fall in love with this album like I did, I would also recommend LCD Soundsystem's A Bunch of Stuff EP, which contains great remixes of the songs on here.
