LCD Soundsystem- This Is Happening ALBUM REVIEW

RIP Dio: http://yhoo.it/aGpnKJ

LCD Soundsystem's third and final album is an ambitious trip into the sounds of dance and rock fusion. A lot of strong influences coming from the 70s and 80s on this one--especially from the realms of post-punk, disco, and new wave. I already have an affinity for this music, so it was fantastic to hear a modern band just do it right. LCD has really built upon a classic sound this time around; bringing a style back with sincerity, and putting their own spin on it, too. Great songs, melodies, lyrics, and grooves. Hardly a scratch on this thing. I felt a little underwhelmed by one track, and I'm happy that's my biggest complaint. I can hardly nit pick on this thing.

What do you think about this album? Love it? Hate it? Why?

9/10

"I Can Change" changed my life.

@rsfaan91 Yeah, it does. In fact, it sounds almost exactly like Bowie's "Heroes." Is this a bad thing? I've always thought copying was the most sincere form of flattery, frankly.

This album is fucking fantastic!

[FreightlinerFred]

I LOVE this album. I've never really listened to the Talking heads or any other electro-pop bands so the whole sound was new to me. Also, listening to "Dance yrself clean" on my sony headphones is like walking through different dimensions.

The only thing better than listening to the these guys (or guy) album is seeing them live. A great and cool trilogy of albums. I like how the song You Wanted A Hit really gives the middle finger and says fuck the singles, here's an album.

Good review as always.

Dance Yrself Clean... I dont know... it changed something, thats for damn sure!

[LaStylo15]

all i want is probably my favorite song on the album... great review!

[MrHimiStringer]

did anyone else find it weird in "Dance Yrself Clean" (which is my favourite track) that the slower bit at the start was a lot quiet than the rest of the song.
