Crap!

It's fun, it's sharp guitars circa glam period, and they're funny....so, it's rock n roll.......more songs like paper doll, and they get a ten.......

This is the single worst album I have ever heard.

Sexy album, sleazy lyrics, catchy hooks. I don't understand how anyone could call this predictable; I've been listening to this album for 2 weeks or so and I'm still somewhat surprised by some of the changes. I can't wait for the new album! If it wasn't for track 9 I would give this a 10.

I liked this. It's fun and campy, juxtaposing addictive, catchy tunes with some hilariously sleazy lyrics. Don't really like the last two songs, though, but good overall.

It provides you with what you could expect from a band like this. Great energized songs, not much depth, but still fun, and a good rock album.

Original? Not really...but hey, what is these days? I just like it a lot!

The Strokes revitalized a style of music that seems to be one of the common trend these days. However, unlike Louis whatever, they did it with originality and sincerity. You do not have to go past the first song on this **** record to see through these fake ass piece of ****. Since indie rock or whatever you want to label it seems to be trendy as the outfits these clowns wear, it is inevitable that we will see more *** bands like Louis whatever.… Expand

Take it easy, it's just a bit of fun. Not life changing but definitely life enhancing all out cock/tit rock. Cathc 'em live to see what the fuss is about.

Sure the rock is derivitive of every single glam rock band of the past couple of decades but so what? Revile in the albums over the top and overtly raunchy lyrics. It's mindless dirty fun with decent pacing and guitar hooks.

Pitchfork blows these guys to ugly little bits, and they absolutely deserve it. Ripping off good bands doesn't make you a good band. It just makes you a shameless ripoff. Being shamelessly horny all the time doesn't help either. They want your respect so bad, but don't give it to them. They suck and have no idea what good rock music is, only how to copy it.

There wasn't anything as dirty or as fun as this album in a long long time. The snotty vocals and sexy groove of Luis XIV is exactly what has been missing from Rock & Roll for so long. They take what the Stones & the Pretty Things did and just run away with it. This is the album that many bands want to record but just can't!

C'mon. If this CD isn't doesn't have you grinning and singing along, there's definitely something wrong.

I didn't know if I was going to like this CD, but it's surprisingly good. What sets them apart from the New Wavers and post-punkers is that one gets the impression that this band really doesn't take itself seriously. There's lots of cheekiness throughout. It's quite entertaining, actually. Oh...and I bought Bloc Party's album, and liked that, too (it's actually my favorite of the year, so far). But I also happened to like this one.… Expand

amazin sound, amazin lyrics... these are guys are very creative...

this album is stupid

Weeeeeeak! Predictable and incredibly irritating to listen to...Last time I trust advice of a friend who "knows" music. :P

Predictable?!? You have to be kidding me. This album has more unpredictable twists & turns from song to song than a six flags rollercoaster on a moonless night. The one consistency throughout is that it never loses it's sense of fun. If you're a death-rocker who craves musical angst, or you're dumb enough to think radiohead is the second coming of christ, you might not like this CD because it won't make you angry or suicidal. Otherwise, turn it up, stomp your feet, and have fun.… Expand

I bought this CD about week ago and I can't stop playing it.This band is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not often an album comes out that generates such a huge negative reaction from me, but this one certainly does. It's derivative, hollow and full of irritating and unearned faux-rock-star swagger. The only reason I didn't give this a 0 is because it's kinda fun to wallow in my intense hatred of this pile of garbage album. Look ma! I hate it even more than I did the first time I listened to it.… Expand

It took me a while. At first I thought it was kind of irritating how crude some of his lyrics are. Then slowly I began to become engulfed in the cockiness and swagger he delivers. I didn't give it above a 10 just because some songs are not great (ie, Ball of Twine) although it's growing on me... almost Kings of Leon style. Good strong music and for a relatively unknown band this CD delivers. Also, download "Grand Apartment" by them. It's phenomenal.… Expand

I got so flamed by one of my best friends for liking this. Yes its derivative, hell they basically steal a whole genre of music. But come on, there has been no paradigm shift in music in the last 30 years, it’s the same shit being recycled. Billy Corgan said on weds night at the Enmore "where is rock and roll?" and you know where it is? being rehashed for the umpteenth time in clubs and pubs all over the world. Louis XIV are by no means in any stretch of the imagination original, but they write catchy rock tunes that you can put on repeat and do your uni work to. All these indie rock snobs have to shut up about it not being original however, because oh yeah, it’s a new wave revival, that means theyre cutting and pasting from the early 80s. People say with heaps of bands “oh theyre just taking from x and y and omg how shit” but you have to have influences and if you like it you play it. Its funny how someone like Dungen (gustav ejsets) can play psychedelic rock exactly like that of the late 60s early 70s with instruments from that time and be lauded as fantastic, but these guys get trashed. Wake up to yourselves for god’s sake. Its an ok album for what it is… Expand

Where's pitchfork's highly amusing review on here?

This CD is always in my CD player!!! I never had a favorite band intill i was introduced to Luis XIV. I am in Love!!!!

This cd is so damn good it's cool to hear something that is not over produced like say my chemical romance

the best "smaller" groups ever they will hit it big soon good from song 1 tell 10

kik ass cd

I agree with wha zat, Pitchfork's review of this CD is CLASSIC. Please put it up on the site.

Some people just don't get it...

definitely derivative, but what isn't? this is a fun cd, and catchy as hell... with an attitude that makes me think these guys could care less what I think

Look, do me a favour. If you're looking for "fun" music, or "stuff you can dance to", invest in the CDs by Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, M.I.A, or LCD Soundsystem. Heck, I'd even recommend the Killers before this one. But don't try to justify purchasing such a tasteless, unoriginal, shameless rip-off, bandwagon-jumping fraud of a record by saying "it's fun". Okay, so it's not that terrible. But it's really not worth the money. Attitude wise, they try too hard; musically, they don't bother trying at all.… Expand

wonderfully delicious.

good way of mking music, good beats.

sucks
