Now that the dust has settled, what do we think of this?

>reads Infinite Jest once

It's the exact same sound they were putting out literally 10 years ago. How is it possible for artists to have so few ideas with so many years to create something new and inventive? Why are so many artists just one trick ponies?

>An Open Letter To James Murphy,
tonite and call the cops are just wow wow wow holy hell this shit is miraculous
Josh

there's a lot going on and I don't know what my opinion is going to be in five days or so but I like it a lot, it's punchier and more aggressive than their earlier stuff but simultaneously more introspective. it's also a lot more emotionally engaging, and it feels like a better overarching experience than SoS or This is Happening.

how do you sleep, oh baby, other voices, and the title track are GOAT

so guys what will the melon nitpick this time?

almost done with 1st listen. its good

I feel like LCD could easily pull a Daft Punk Alive 2007 and mashup a bunch of their newer songs with similar older tunes:

> Oh Baby v. Home
> Other Voice v. Pow Pow/Yeah
> How Do You Sleep? v. Dance Yrself Clean
> Tonight v. You Wanted a Hit?
> Emotional Haircut v. Jump Into the Fire/No Love Lost
> Black Screen v. Someone Great

>>74854143

So we all agree call the police is the best track right?

Album ends with American Dream. Emotional Haircut is the fun b-side, and black screen is Oscar-bait over the ending credits.

>>74853976
Doesn't he have a massive hard-on for LCD Soundsystem?

>>74854553
He didn't like the singles for this so far and is really butthurt about them returning

James channeled the spirit of Bowie on this one. Some really special stuff.

How do you sleep is a SOTY contender. Album is the normal LCD soundsystem but depressed.

dance music for white hipsters

>>74856555
as pretentious as it is he has a point you know

>>74856529
Only LCD would never work on an actual dance floor, even the more upbeat songs take too long to get going. Also how can you say songs like American Dream are dance music?

> ONE STEP FORWARD

>>74856750
AND 6 STEPS BACK

>>74856654
go to one of their shows, then come back here and try spewing this shit again. you don't know what you're talking about.

Of course people dance at their shows, but you can't just put on Dance yrself clean at a party and have it not be skipped before the 3 min mark. My point is that there is much more to LCD soundsystem than hispter dance music

i don't watch him anymore but somebody told me that he shat on call the police and american dream when they were released as singles.

tonite is the worst song ive heard this year, how does the album compare?

I once saw James Murphy perform a dj set back in 2011. There were hipsters and fags everywhere. Can't believe they sold out the first night of their tour in dc.

>>74856529

>>74856529

Do we have 320 yet?

>>74854011
If he does make all those points he'll be right. This is their weakest, most inconsistent album by far and people have every right to think it doesn't justify their comeback. Those fanboy goggles are blinding you.

>>74858678
wouldn't you be the one blinded by fanboyism? never been a big fan of LCD and this album sounds like, well, a new LCD album. if people liked their old ones I don't see why they wouldn't like this one.

It's ooook. They're one of my favorite bands and I really didn't give a shit when they reunited (unlike certain other people) but I really didn't want another album that was gonna be Talking Heads 1.5.

Welp, it's another TH album and there are definitely good songs, but it lacks everything that made early LCD Soundsystem albums. Hard to believe that it's the same band that put out Yeah or Movement or Disco Infiltrator.
How Do You Sleep? is by miles the best song, Black Screen by far the worst. How did James Murphy think ending this album on 12 minute plinkering would be a good idea? Jesus.

>>74857924
It's basically This Is Happening 2.0 - most songs tend to go in the American Dream or Call The Police direction. Tonite actually sticks out with its old school LCD vibes.

>>74858699
But I never said the fact that it does sound like an LCD Soundsystem album is the reason he may not like it that much. It's because it is, like you said originally, repetitive, messy and inconsistent. And those are valid criticisms.

>>74858728
>Tonite actually sticks out with its old school LCD vibes.
I got that feeling too but it felt like such a soulless spiritless version of that. Like wow dude, you just found out that musicians talk about tonite and 'now' because they're suicidal. Revelatory stuff. Idk it just lacks the energy that stuff like Losing My Edge had.

>>74858816
I'm not the one who said those things. I don't agree with that at all. Those criticisms are only valid if you can adequately describe what about the album is repetitive, messy and inconsistent, especially in relation to their past material. I'm guessing you can't.

>>74858854
The beat is very Tribulations-esque but yeah, the "This Is Happening" sound & production make it sound too clean.

>>74858854
To be fair he does know that

"I'm in no place to get it right
And I'm not dangerous now
The way I used to be once"

>>74858926
Why keep doing it? The "knows he's not as good as he once was" isn't endearing and doesn't exempt him from criticism just because he knows it's not as good

>>74858997
Because it's fun.

>>74858997
Because he still makes good music, it's just not the same, and he still enjoys it. Also money

>>74859079
please get higher standards by listening to more music. im sick of people thinking this kind of shit is good. i dont think you even know what the word good means. why is everyone so easily impressed by run of the mill shit these days? HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS SO MUSICIANS WILL ACTUALLY TRY AGAIN

>>74859092
I really enjoy it tho, I listen to a lot of music but I really like LCD's new music, just because it's not all Losing my Edge, it's different but not worse.

>>74859092

lol like we're on short supply of good music nowadays

It's always nice to drop by a board that you don't usually visit and see that it's not just your board, but that each board has their resident autists.

Anyhow, the album is great. Oh Baby, How Do You Sleep, American Dream, and Tonite were highlights for me.

>>74857538

Is this real?

I really like the first half, but after Tonite it just loses steam.
Way better than I thought it'd be though.

It's like a depressive version of Dance Yrself Clean. It's amazing.

>>74862012
I already regret not being able to listen to it again for the first time.
All the tracks are good so far, it might be my AOTY, since QOTSA did not deliver.
I listened to a lot of new albums, but only Idles and this one will stick with me.

I still can't get into Call the Police, meanwhile American Dream never sounded better.

Has anyone got a copy of that new Pulse track? I guess it's midnight release around the world or whatever

>>74862267
I loved Call the Police after my first listen and still do. Don;t get what people don't like about it. I blame the Melon.

>>74859395

Can't believe this is being heralded in any shape or form.

Its garbage.

download?

I just marathoned the first two tracks, and this is weak as fuck so far.

Is it just me or does the end of Emotional Haircut sound like early 2000s U2?

>>74862822
yeah, still a nice track. It's the most blatantly rock track they did, isn't it?
The entire album sounds more like a tribute to the band's influences, while still remaining fun to listen to.
Well, except New York, but that's on a whole other level.

Black screen is so sad, didn't know Bowie and James were that close

>>74854503
I thought How Do You Sleep was the clear standout.

Change Yr Mind sounds a hell of a lot like No One Receiving by Brian Eno.

How Do You Sleep? reminds me of Swans in the best way possible. Maybe LCD's best track to date.

Nevermind, I just googled the lyrics and misheard what was being said.

I really don't see what the fuss is over this How Do You Sleep track

one of my least favourite on the whole LP

>>74863582

great: How do you Sleep?, American Dream
good: Call the Police, Tonite

If that's true I need to start listening to some early 2000s u2. It honestly reminded me of joy division with the intensity of yes

all of LCD Soundsystem's songs are pastiches of late 60s-80s classics, and the fact I still love James' music despite it pisses me off more and more as time goes on.

Oh Baby => OMD - She's Leaving
I Used To => Suicide - Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne
Call the Police => New Order - Procession
Emotional Haircut => Joy Division - No Love Lost (i mean listen to 3:40 onward, fucking hell)

Pic related, TiH is my favourite album of the decade but it's also an unoriginal piece of shit.

>>74862716
You couldn't fathom how aware I am of that statement. Why do you think I'm encouraging people to listen to more music to heighten their standards? Because I get off on being 'patrician'? No, because higher standards would motivate these lazy faggot artists to do something exceptional.

>>74859306
I read that thinking it was yiannopolis lol, but actually it's an even bigger faggot especially since it's obviously a reference to this gil scott heron song which a black "artist" should probably know
