Two years after LCD Soundsystem's eponymous full-length debut sent indie scenesters rushing to the dancefloor, the outfit headed by dance-rock producer James Murphy serves up another stiff cocktail of punk, dance, and funk with Sound of Silver. Analog synths, chugging basslines, chunky guitars, and Murphy's wild falsetto excursions are once again the foundation to which is added the new and strange, such as the heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener "Get Innocuous" and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang bounces off of Murphy's vocals on "Someone Great." If this album has its own version of "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," it has to be "North American Scum," an infectious stormer that breezily dismisses Europe as a place where "the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes." Such lines are good evidence that LCD's music would rather ridicule itself than fall into the kind of pretense and nostalgia it constantly lampoons. The album's title track reflects that hankering after one's teenage years is often interrupted when "you remember the feelings of a real live emotional teenager--then you think again," while the power ballad "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" wearily serenades the Big Apple as "still the one pool where I'd happily drown." True, LCD's music is not for everyone, which may have something to do with why their fans love them as they do. If you fall into the latter category, however, Silver is gold. --Brent Kallmer

Why Are People Grudgeful?.......2007-07-25

Just listen to The Fall "Why Are People Grudgeful?" from 1993 or any Fall for that matter and you hear the source. From the sound to the vocal style...Mark E. Smith finshed almost all his lyrics with "uhh". But you know what who cares, this is a great album and nothing this great comes together without this and other powerful influences (The Talking Heads should be mentioned as well but that is another couple of paragraphs) Oh well it is recommended none the less!

Very Cool Album.......2007-07-15

James Murphy, the one-man band behind LCD Soundsystem, toiled for most of the 90's in obscure underground rock bands before sliding into his role as a producer/remixer. I have to admit I passed up LCD's debut album a few years back, in spite of considerable buzz. I loved the title of the single "Daft Punk is Playing at My House," but found the actual song to be a repetitive one-joke dance track. I had been hoping for something more creative, similar to, well, Daft Punk's best work. After hearing Sound of Silver, I'm thinking there may be something more to Murphy's sprawling 2-disc first album than I gave him credit for at the time.

Sound of Silver is one of the bounciest, most exciting albums I've heard this year. LCD Soundsystem often gets labeled as dance-punk, but there isn't a lot of punk rock in their sound. It's more accurate to say that Murphy brings an aggressive, punk rock attitude and a certain griminess to his rock-tinged dance music. The album has an impressive variety of sound, from the opening electronics of "Get Innocuous" to the drum-fueled shouting of "Watch the Tapes" to the lounge ballad closer "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down." Lead single "North American Scum" is crazy catchy, with a pulsing electronic bass and jagged guitar line accompanying Murphy's very funny lyrics about the European and American club scenes.

The album does drag in places, mostly due to the fact that it's still dance music at heart. So there are a couple of songs that go over the 7-minute mark without doing anything interesting. "Get Innocuous" suffers from this, as does the title track. "Sound of Silver" actually has pretty funny lyrics, but there's only 4 lines in the song, and they're repeated ad nauseum. On the other hand, "Us vs. Them" nudges into this territory without bogging down, due to its high-energy vocals. "All My Friends" is the longest song on the album, but it's also the best. It has another one of Murphy's irresistible hooks; a great series of piano riffs that propel the song for nearly 8 minutes. "All My Friends" also benefits from Murphy actually singing- he tends to sort of shout his way through most of the songs, but he makes the right call by opening up and using his singing voice here. "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" also is clearly better for Murphy's singing. It's basically a torch song, and the broken-hearted croon he affects makes the song work as he sings about New York City's tourist-friendly 90's whitewash tearing out the heart and soul from the city.

At a lean 9 songs, Sound of Silver doesn't overstay its welcome, and even the longer dance tracks don't slow the proceedings down too much. This album is unique and fun, and musically very clever, and it's one of my favorites of the year so far

Great music.......2007-07-07

This was the first CD I ever heard from LCD Soundsystem and once I did, I was hooked. Excellent music has made me a fan.

I've heard this before........2007-07-03

Why is everyone lauding this second effort from LCD Soundsystem so much? It sounds like his first album. I own his first double CD album and this, "Sound Of Silver", just sounds like a rehash of that. It's well produced, fairly nice to listen to, but it just seems as if LCD Soundsystem realizes they have a hook, something that people will buy, so that's what they'll put out. And unfortunately, I was duped into buying it. I wasted money on an album ('Sound Of Silver') that I basically could have heard by listening to his first album. All of the songs on this album sound like songs on his first, and the lyrics on some of the songs are laughable in the least, which I would quote verbatim from the lyric sheet, had I already not gotten rid of this CD, due to its taking up space in my CD rack. 'New York...', is a riot, anyone who produces a track like this cannot expect to be taken seriously. I hope for his next album that he does better, although I'm fairly certain I won't be buying it anyway.

Better Than His Last One.......2007-06-22

If I have one criticism of this album it would be that he wears his influences on his sleeve. However, if you love Talking Heads' "Remain In Light" and Kraftwerk's "The Man Machine", you will probably like this album. The last track is also reminiscent of Grandaddy.

LCD Soundsystem is playing at my house (my house).......2005-07-24

Homages, hat-tips and disco-punk are the thing in LCD Soundsystem, brainchild of James Murphy. There's nothing here to get it nominated for "Best album of the year," but the self-titled dance album has both its good and bad sides -- the main disc is middling, while the second is marvelously weird.

The catchy, fuzzy single "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" kicks things off in a not-so-great note -- it's a fun song, but not one to listen to multiple times. From there on, LCD Soundsystem trips merrily off to swoony technoballads, ear-blistering electronic waves, and vaguely muffled yowls from Murphy, who sometimes sounds like he's being eaten by the drum set.

It's a tripwire-taut, catchy collection of melodies, with that slightly jerky edge that is currently in vogue with some top-selling indierock bands. Like those bands, LCD Soundsystem has some debts owed to Brian Eno, Wire, and the Fall. It's entertaining, but it's also not terribly memorable.

That changes with the second disc, which is a few tracks shorter but makes up for any lack of creativity in the first disc. Here the beats are less intense, the music is fringed with ambient sweeps, and everything feels more comfortable and looser. It's like wearing a broken-in sneaker, versus the new, stiff tennis shoes -- read, the first disc.

There are slow numbers, interspersed with wild beats and filtered vocals, and tightly-wound little dance numbers, as stripped-down as a dance-punk sound can be. It ends on a surprising note, with the chaotic-sounding "Tired" and two versions of the song "Yeah." The crass version is more openly dancey, while the pretentious version is trippy and dense.

It takes awhile for this dancey punky swippy electroclash to really catch on -- initially it sounds like the same ol', same ol', especially in the very overrated "Daft Punk..." song. How often can we hear Murphy ending lines with "... at my house... MY HOUSE!" before wanting to go back to ours? The music has some solid basslines, beats and vaguely retro sounds, but it isn't terribly memorable.

The first disc is too repetitive and dancey, as if made specifically for clubbing. Fortunately, it is saved by the bonus disc. This stuff is more creative, less dancey, and none of those six precious tracks is a dull one. They have stranger melodies, spoken lyrics, and even panpipes played in one song. Wild! Wicked!

LCD Soundsystem's debut album is a fun listen, mostly because of the second disc. The basic dancepunk songs are middling to annoying, but the weirder songs are bliss.
