Really surprised with this. Totally loving it. In my top five as of today.

1. Common as Light
2. Crack-Up
3. American Dream
4. FORGET
5. Peasant

>>74894323

how do you sleep is one of their best tracks, great album

>>74894637
t. fuckin retard

Anyone else think the title track is way better now that its in the context of the album?

I know sometimes that's just a cliche people say about certain singles but for some reason its hitting me way harder than it did when it originally released.

so happy they didn't arcade fire themselves

>>74894908
totally agree

>>74894908
definitely with you. as a single you could tell it was supposed to have a lot of emotional, dramatic heft to it, but it fell flat. with the rest of the album surrounding it, it really does feel like a climax and it hits much harder.

The album puts you in a mood that American Dream cashes in

This and Crack Up are my favorites

7/10 at best

The second track sounds exactly like Pow Pow

>>74894908
I didn't like Tonite or Call the Police when they came out but they sound fantastic in context with the record.

I was afraid they were going ruin their solid discography with a mediocre album but they just ended up making another great record. It's so strange to anticipate disappointment and end up loving the finished product. Everything could of gone wrong but everything went right. How the fuck did James do this?

>>74894323
lol no >>74895455

>>74895674
THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING AND IT'S FREAKING YOU OUT

>>74894323
This is their best album. I'm so happy.

awesome album

talking heads 1.5

>>74896033

I also got this vibe. This album is considerably more Talking Heads than their previous efforts. But that's good for me.

>all these pitchfork fangirls

The album is alright at best. You're all faggots.

>>74896225

Nah, p4k is gay. Album is easily better than This is Happening. Not quite Sound of Silver tier though.

i had my thing on shuffle and played the album, the first song that played was "how do you sleep?" and i deadass thought i was listening to TH

In less of the 77/Food way and much much more in the Fear of Music way.

>>74895794
When Tonite starts after How Do You Sleep?, it feels really punchy.

oh boy can't wait to get home and give this a listen

i can't stop listening to the first track to the point that i haven't even got around to the others yet
>AND YOU'RE ALREADY GONE

>>74896882
how do you sleep is amazing

No original ideas: the album

Holy shit, just got to how do you sleep? and came to post this

Oh shit it's out?

What is the definition of an emotional haircut? is the hair cut when the owner of said hair is emotional or is the hair itself emotional?

Lots of interesting synth work. Lots of cool post-punk influence on i used to and emotional haircut. Maybe even more so than their debut.

I would have honestly been happy just to get This Is Happening 2.0 but I didn't expect them to change it up this much. Still pretty recognizable as LCD but I think the break did them a lot of good

>>74897563
It is where there is a lot of emotion invested in the length of the hair. Your ex said they liked your hair long, you are getting your hair cut to go to war, you are getting your hair cut for your wedding, etc.

>>74897644
oh I see - I found it hard to get this because I'm dead on the inside. Ha-ha j-just joking.

>listen to the album
>like it
>want to replay some songs
>just end up listening to how do you sleep? over and over

>>74896033

>tfw I feel like I'm the only one who thinks this album is pretty mediocre and by far their worst

An LCD Soundsystem that sounds tonally similar to that of 'Fear Of Music' era Talking Heads... this album appeals to me in a very specific way.

tonite sounds far, far better in context (and I already really liked the track).

Worst album art award goes to...

So many influences and styles and sounds. If you didn't like it, try listening lying down with headphones -- all the small details are so intoxicating. I wonder how it'll age.

Oh baby - 7/10
Other Voices - 9/10

8/10 overall

And all the singles work better in the context of an album.

((but they're all great))

I don't know if it's just first day obsession or not, but I think how do you sleep? might be my new favourite LCD song.

I was so ready to be underwhelmed by a new release again but this is on par with their other albums

call the police kind of sounds like big ideas at 4:00

reminder that they also put out an instrumental track called PULSE (v1) for the amazing price of free

You're not cool just because you like obscure artists. And the new Gas album was a huge letdown.

>>74900734
none of those artists are obscure

>>74895878
I think it's because he's never been in it for money, but because he just loves making music so god damn much

>>74900216
Kinda glad this didn't end up on the album like they wanted it to. It's fun, but it would've been a lame way to close

>>74900280
wow nice pitchfork-approved edm anon, you are such an expert

Definitely on par with the previous releases. Surprisingly the album is full of even better songs that the singles.

I also made a cover art for this track. Feel free to shit on it if you don't like it, I made it in like 10 mins.

This shit is so rad. It gives me so many 70s 80s vibes.

How do you sleep might be one of the best songs of recent years.

>>74900280
looooool /bleep/ would par you lad

AOTD, tbqh. It's somehow even better than Sound of Silver. James Murphy is GOD.

>>74895601

Better than This is Happening. Not Sound of Silver tho

The lowercase album title and song titles triggers the fuck out of me.

What a fantastic top 5. My exact same top 5 except
-crack up + worldeater
-peasant + flower boy although peasant is number 6

Really solid album, surprising - I was expecting shit but it's their second best album (nothing will ever beat sound of silver, even if some of the tracks on this album are better in isolation than some on sos) - nice relief.

The extra track that dropped, pulse, is also really good

I don't know. Sound of Silver had Watch the Tapes and Time to Get Away, very much in my view new wave filler (pretty good overall, but definitely a valley in comparison to the big highs of that record). James has always been better at the long term build kind of sound- more of a Fear of Music kind of guy than a Talking Heads 77 kind of guy. The weakest track here is I Used To, and that one takes on more of a post-punk Nick Cave/This Heat kind of vibe, and is at least successful int he first half.

The most new wave influenced song on here by far is Emotional Haircut, and even that song builds. It sounds like Murphy re-listened to his MSG concert and decided the new album needed a penultimate track like Jump Into the Fire.

I'd argue that American Dream is in fact their best record. It's really fucking good.

I want to get wasted and put on how do you sleep in a club and fucking DANCE
