RickWMar 19, 2007A fantastic album. Grows with every listen. Definite Joy Division/New Order influences in some of the songs. Even better than his brilliant first album. Good live too!

JerrodL.Mar 16, 2007Takes the best aspects of his debut and betters them, James Murphy has created a true masterpiece. 'Someone Great' is the highlight. Poignant and danceable.

AndrewWMar 16, 2007Ditto on the best album of the year so far, this is the first album in quite a while that has literally (to use a completely overused phrase) blown me away. Stand out track: all my friend, played it at least a dozen times in a row. Haven't done that since I was a teenager (many moons ago)

DavidMMar 14, 2007Rediculously good. I think it has taken my album of the year already. Murphy comes back even stronger than before and brings emotion to the table with some killer dance tracks.

GraemeMar 9, 2007It will be tough to top this for album of the year, and we're only 3 months into 2007. So many cool elements on Sound of Silver. 'Someone Great' is such an emotive song. Sound of Silver is much tighter than the self-titled disc.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.

Under The RadarA big, fun, and passionate record that sounds enormous. [#16, p.92]

UrbThe vocals are where Murphy has developed the most, trading in his Mark E. Smith yelp for various crooning styles. [Jan/Feb 2007, p.75]
