LCD Soundsystem - what a load of bollocks

[Pieface]

Its not a 'band' for fucks sake. Its one guy. He just has musicians when he plays out live.

Oooooooooooh!

 

[Silva]

eh? who thinks that's a brutal attack on America? Nobody I've ever read, that's for sure.

Portuguese hacks surely do. There's not a single mention of him/sound of silver/the music itself without it. But then again, most of them probably don't even listen the records they're supposed to talk about.

 

[bluestreak]

After seeing them appear in many 'Must Have' lists for 2007, I dled 'Sound Of Silver'.

What a stack of over hyped shite. It's like listening to the worst bits of early 80s synthy-pop like Visage, with better production values and a cursory nod to the last 2 decades of dance music.

And his voice isn't expressive and all the other accolades - it's strained and thin and nasal.

Fucking shite.

that's really really really dumb

is it? Portuguese hacks? How accurately could you comment on the lyrics of a pop song in Portuguese?

You failed to mention they were Portuguese. Nobody here has been that wrong

I couldn't, so I shouldn't be doing it. If you don't follow the lyrics then talk about the tune instead of jumping to a conclusion.

I've seen the same "accusation" being hurled on some american outlets. But then again, "american".

And this isn't a matter of correctly interpreting lyrics. It's more hacks seeing a record being praised to high heavens abroad, and decide to write something based on those reviews and a few impressions from listening the CD stereo.

 

[ouchmonkey]

OK, listening to a tune called 'All My Friends' Sounds like a clash between Surface to Air from Push the Button and about half a dozen Underworld tracks. And not in a good way.

'All My Friends' is the best record of the last year if you ask me
and you are made of wrong.
It does sound like a lot of things, not the ones you suggest but New Order, Eno etc.

but it in a good way

Fair enough, but it wasn't obvious where you were writing about in your post so that confused the issue

Weird how the dreadful Calvin Harris made his name by blatantly ripping off LCD Soundsystem (and Visage on the way) and now the new LCD stuff sounds like Calvin Harris.

Mind you, "All My Friends" is better than anything ol' ironic Calvin could come up with in a lifetime.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Calvin Harris sucks balls. And not in a good way.

 

[danny la rouge]

I like him/them. (LCD Soundsystem that is).

 

[futha]

sound of silver is fantastic. one of the best of 2007

 

[Orang Utan]

Not heard the new one but not one thing they've done that I've heard is any good, not even Losing My Edge. I do like a few DFA things though, but it is mostly toilet.

 

[Orang Utan]

James Murphy's vocals are fucking annoying too.

 

[MysteryGuest]

can't say i'm a fan.

 

[dodgepot]

i can say i'm a fan, if i lie. i don't really know what they sound like. are they pop?

 

[dodgepot]

i can't stand calvin harris though. urgh.

 

[MysteryGuest]

\m/ yay for calvin harris! \m/

 

[Orang Utan]

It's just another example of student dance really - for people who demand 'proper' albums and all that bollocks

 

[dodgepot]

\m/ yay for calvin harris! \m/

oh, *that's* a surprise

 

[MysteryGuest]

i heard the first lcd soundsystem cd and got the impression it was somebody showing off by referring to past influences instead of using them lovingly or out of enthusiasm or whatever.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's for people who haven't got the balls for PROPER house and techno music.

 

[MysteryGuest]

it's SHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!

 

[MysteryGuest]

Quite like my "proper" house and techno thankyou very much. Still doesn't mean it has to be like that all the time.
