An exceptional testament to James Murphy, both as a musician and producer.

Alternative PressAmple evidence that Murphy is far more than a dance-club wiseguy who's too clever by half. [Apr 2005, p.128]

[It] could be annoying if it turned into a game of "spot the references", but somehow it never does.
-
It's a classic case of debut album as faux anthology of musical influences, but it's also a successful collection with a marked sense of individuality, massively helped by Murphy's dry sense of humor, which demonstrates a willingness to embrace the contradiction at the heart of his musical personality.

New Musical Express (NME)If he carries on writing songs as deliciously sour as this, dance music will end up needing to be saved from James Murphy, not by him. [22 Jan 2005, p.50]
-
MojoInescapably, Losing My Edge is the best thing here, yet happily Murphy has more than one trick up his stylish sleeve. [Feb 2005, p.101]
-
LCD Soundsystem is mostly too afraid to be balls-out fun, but too unambitious to make for a really rewarding artistic experience. Essentially, it sits awkwardly in a no-man’s land between artistry and actual dancing fun, like guess-what-demographic.
