    45:33 deftly segues from the smooth funk favored by Levan to synth-pop and Talking Heads-style polyrhythms before opening into serious space-party territory.

    LCD mastermind James Murphy took a lot of flack from indie didacts for aligning with Nike last year, but it's worth asking, no less now than then: Who else would make this good on a payday premise that just as easily could have been phoned in?

    45:33 is as much gallery-crawl as beach-run; purpose-built in gliding tempos and warm-down synth shimmers for iPod-strapped runners, yet appropriate for a cruise through the Whitney, too. [Review of UK release]

    Definitely a decent record if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. But, I think critics are wanking off too much to James Murphy. This is clearly much less cohesive and interesting than his full-lengths. It's just not that good. BORING.… Expand

    Before I get to my review, let me just say that this is ridiculous. Apparently, in the eyes of critics, James Murphy can do absolutely no wrong as an artist. Number 5 of the year? Beating out his own latest LP? Oh please. These critics are on reefer or something. Now to the review; It's too damn long. I can't possibly enjoy a huge 46 minute song. It's as long as a damn LP! And I specifically can't stand one that reverts to recycled beats! About 7 minutes in it just goes into "Someone Great" for about 2 minutes (not to say that isn't a great song, I was just expecting to get a lot of new material here). Look, as someone who listens to music while doing almost everything, I can honestly say I don;t know what people are talking about here. It's ok. It's just a song. That's basically it. It sort of works your brain and engages you and your metabolism, but I would almost always rather throw on a full album (much rather a full LCD Soundsystem) while doing housework or running than listen to this song.… Expand
