Jun 10, 2012I f@#$ing love this album!!! This is my best album of all time. Awesome dance tunes, intelligent lyrics, incredible ending. James Murphy is my idol and inspiration, as well as Pat Mahoney, and his incredible technique and endurance in his drums. That's why I am Silver Man here!!!

Mar 6, 2011The perfect walking music. All songs are unforgettable and catchy, showing no signs of slowdowns or weakness and I don't know if anyone appreciates this part but James Murphy's vocals are one of the most versatile ever and one of the most creative musicians in the business, addition to his admirable scope and ambition with the LCD Soundsystem project.

Feb 23, 2011Sound Of Silver is an extraordinary album. Each song sounds like a single. It never gets boring and it's like nothing you'll ever hear. James Murphy's vocals and all the Synth electro funk beats go perfectly well together. "North American Scum" and All My Friends" are standout tracks on the album. All In All, Sound Of Silver is an incredible record that needs to be listened too. A

Nov 27, 2010You may be surprised how simple and amazing this album by LCD Soundsystem is. "North American Scum" shows off the rebellious side while "All My Friends" shows the soulful side. You have admit "All My Friends" is a masterpiece of the 2000's.

EKNov 22, 2007I hated it when I first heard it, it keeps growing on me though. One thing thats tough to argue is how good he is at writing words, the lyrics in someone great are superb.

JZ.Sep 26, 2007The first half of the album is superb but I think it drops off a bit toward the end. Agreeing with everyone about someone great and all my friends, great stuff. I also thought all my friends sounded like a U2 track, cheers sanjeev it does sound a lot like streets have no name.

LukeSep 25, 2007Best album of the year thus far. It would have been a brilliant album if it wasn't for "All my friends." I don't get why people like that song. It's nowhere close to being as good as the rest of the album. Very Dancey, very stimulating album. Thumbs up!

ScottW.Aug 20, 2007If you are looking for something different in the electronic sound, LCD Soundsystem are one of the best things going in that type of music. This is one of the best albumes in 2007. Sound of Silver is not a pop song albume though. Its one these albumes thats a little bite on the arty side but, this secound albume shows that they nkow what they are doing.

ArthurDogtrashJun 1, 2007I love this CD even more than their last release. "North American Scum" and "All My Friends" are two of the best songs of the year so far. A great release by a great band.

DylanSMay 28, 2007Another amazing album from LCD, "North American Scum" and "All My Friends" are stand outs, "Sound of Silver", not so much. Thankfully it's only one track that's less focused than the rest, and even said track has more to it than most. Buy Sound of Silve.

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]
