SamHFeb 8, 2008Definitely 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.

JoeE.Nov 20, 2007This is a great album (track?), but it is not a 2007 album, it came out in 2006 on iTunes. If the new Radiohead album, which is thus far digital-only, is included in the 2007 list, this one should be included in the 2006 list.

AndrewH.Dec 7, 2007I agree with Roger--James Murphy is moving music along faster and better than any artist out there in my opinion. Jack White may be making a bit better music but garage rock can't last forever. Murphy's work suggests he's leaving our planet to get new material.

MycroftW.Jan 29, 2008With this, the Fabriclive mix, the fantastic album and the even better live shows James Murphy was hands down man of the year in 2007.

BrianO'DNov 28, 2007Totally entertaining, always moving and a very slick composition from Mr James Murphy. Imagine being commissioned by the very deep pockets of the Nike enterprise to remix your own music! Light up...Goof-out...and get paid.. QED.

RogerS.Nov 28, 2007This is the future and this is NOW!!!!! Did you know this guy turned down being a writer for Sienfeld because he wanted to start his own band. Wow, I am blown away. What music is going to become.

Dec 2, 2010Just a heads up for Tim T and anyone who thinks that this album copied Someone Great, if you actually checked the release dates you would see that it was actually released before Sound of Silver so it didn't really just recycle it. Plus the rest of the album is good and provides a solid beat for when you are running.

It is an expertly crafted and detailed work which accomplishes total immersion in the listener. [Review of UK release]
-
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 Soundsystem's many fans will want this principally for the bonus tracks but will probably already have the rest of 45:33.
