I would like to suggest the album People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World by Andrew Jackson Jihad. Incredible folk punk project running at a brisk 25 minutes.
All My Friends is a song that really stuck with me. It’s a song that came out when I was 17, was the music of my high school and college days fearing getting old and irrelevant, and now, at age 32, is my reality. It’s the best example I can think of of music growing with you instead of apart from you.
The thing I love about LCD Soundsystem is how they've got some incredibly infectious, enjoyable dance songs like 'Get Innocuous', 'North American Scum' and 'Us Vs Them' but then can just as easily switch up and produce these incredibly emotional songs that have you questioning your entire existence like 'All My Friends' (my favourite song of all time) and 'New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down' - incredible band
I do also think it does discredit the band and their music to think of them as a dance band, they're so much more than that, the beauty of tracks like 'All My Friends' and 'Us V Them' IS the build and the layers to everything and the incredible detail which you really appreciate on re-listens
all my friends is one of my favourite songs ever made, never gets old like other people are saying, you need to do this is happening and american dream now
All My Friends is an instance of the critics actually getting it right (that sounds harsher than i intend, there are lots of critics i like, though i can't say their generally bad reputation is entirely unfounded, either). I only discovered the song, and LCD Soundsystem itself for that matter, because many critics named it among the best songs of the year and/or in the top 10 songs of the '00s. While i did immediately find it striking for it's bare, earnest simplicity, I admit I didn't love it right away. But as I approached, then surpassed, the age Murphy was when writing it my love for it blossomed and it warms my heart that Murphy got the recognition of Pitchfork naming it the second best song of the decade.
Calling Us V Them mid is wild lmao. I mean, tbf this album is one of my favorites of all time, these repetitions and builds are so trance like and groovy and heavy. And ik opinions be opinions, so it be like that, but outside of Watch the Tapes (still pretty good, but eh), I think this thing is absolutely perfect... Then again, I also like Steve Reich and avant garde jazz and if some weird "patient" music, so I definitely see why this would be monotonous to some (also ngl, I feel like having lyrics up for this album for your first time probably lowered your experience of this thing).
I’ve always preferred This Is Happening, but I can’t deny some of their best stuff is on this album, Someone Great has to be top 3 best LCD Soundsystem tracks
judging by the songs u liked in this album, i think their 2010 album This is Happening might be right up your alley. I hope you get around to hearing that album too sometime in the future.
So, my issue with LCD is that the tracks are a bit too monotonous. I always end up lobbing their tracks off my playlists. Have always loved Someone Great.
You might really like the album Amir by Tamino :-) it has a lot of Jeff Buckley vibes imo and is just a really beautiful album!! Thank u for sharing your love of music with us all!!!!!
how to leave town by car seat headrest is great if you wanna give them another try, i saw your twin fantasy video and i understand what you dont like about them but a lot of their music isnt like that
yea i get ur gripe with the drawn out tracks and i suppose they arent for everyone. imo thats part of the charm of the album tho. also all my friends is like the best song ever anyway i think you will like this is happening if u get around to listening to it

u should react to their 2010 album. it is also a masterpiece

Self titled is great too
I always hear Talking Heads through their stuff.

Dude, if you think some songs are a little longer and get boring. Repetition is the appeal of the album.

Best band of all time. Just saw them in Oakland on Wednesday, going again this Wednesday. Best show I’ve ever been to
why isnt all my friends in the best tracks?
You can really hear James Murphy's background as a DJ here, especially on Get Innocuous. Dude is an insanely great producer
i would like if you did some reviews of deftones albums
I’ve always preferred This Is Happening, but I can’t deny some of their best stuff is on this album, Someone Great has to be top 3 best LCD Soundsystem tracks

Saw these guys at a music festival on their farewell* tour, and it was an absolutely amazing experience.
So, my issue with LCD is that the tracks are a bit too monotonous. I always end up lobbing their tracks off my playlists. Have always loved Someone Great.
yeah that's still a small issue for me too. Still a pretty great album though.
Yessssss lcd soundsystem! Personally I would pick This Is Happening over Sound of Silver
You might really like the album Amir by Tamino :-) it has a lot of Jeff Buckley vibes imo and is just a really beautiful album!! Thank u for sharing your love of music with us all!!!!!
thank you for watching 🙏
If you've heard Reflektor by Arcade Fire it has production by James Murphy and you can hear his style throughout
how to leave town by car seat headrest is great if you wanna give them another try, i saw your twin fantasy video and i understand what you dont like about them but a lot of their music isnt like that
nice, this album is really fucking good, one the few 10s in my opinion
with the others being Playboi Carti's albums.
The story behind the lyrics of Someone Great is actually about singer James Murphy coping with the death of his therapist
review afreaka - demon fuzz!! one of the all time best albums ever!!!
Yeah the 2nd half is definitely weaker but a great album overall imo
Very happy you’re checking this one out, def one of my favs
