I don't object to vocals, just his. I'd rather listen to New Order or some acid house.

At first I though, "Fuck, that's a shit LCD song" and then thought, "No, it's that shitehawk Harris" before finally realising who it was. Dreadful, derivative drivel.It sounds like a VERY poor LCD rip off. And I know what you're listening to now
BBC6 rocks!

And leave poor old Calvin alone, he's so obviously about as cool as a Kilt is to a pair of Leather Chaps, you can't compare the two...

It's made by a guy who wants to hear a proper album and it really works well unlike most dance albums or, indeed, most albums full stop these days.

SOS is fucking awesome - not just the best album of last year, but probably the best album of the last few years. Of course, if you disagree, you're wrong.

Fuck albums - why are people so obsessed with them? Most albums are just a few good tracks with a load of forgettable ones sprinkled in between. I'd rather listen to a mix or a compilation. It's all about the tunes.
That's the point though, he wanted to make a consistently strong album, like people used to.

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
I generally agree with you and buy far more singles than I do albums, and often the albums or compilations I buy are for the few tracks that I do want. I've got some awful clag in my collection just so that I can have the blinding tunes that I do want on the same record.
Every once in a while, however, an album'll come along where I can listen to it all the way through and it works as a whole. For me, Sound of Silver is one of them.
So you don't like it. Fair enough.

No ever has though. Albums have always been like that. I've never really wanted to play many albums all the way through. Even Kraftwerk had their fair share of duff tracks.

Indeed. Many albums these days are stuffed with filler, but SOS is one of those (rare) records that you want to listen to right the way through. Also it has both a cracking opening and cracking closing track.

That's how I see it. I'm too impatient to listen to albums. As I said, a well put together mix does more for me than the self-indulgence of albums. My favourite New Order album? Substance. Mind you, Drexciya have done some cracking albums (although even with them I do some skipping).

You can't half talk a load of old bollocks when you're of a mind to.
you don't go for albums, fair enough. some of us do, or used to.
SOS is one of the first albums in ages that I play all the way through, still, on a regular basis rather than just cherry pick my favourites as you suggest.
It's particularly nice to get one in a genre that excels in the 'two great tunes + a load of old cock' method of doing things.
The Justice album, which I quite rated, is an example of this. I only listen to it all the way through if i'm too lazy to programme the CD player or change it.
