Why is everyone in love with LCD Soundsystem? I've only heard a couple of songs which weren't very impressive. Help me to understand.

it's ok to not like things that other people do.

I've tried and failed myself. It doesn't quite work as dance-rock (at least on record), and the songs don't stand up on their own for me.

What I've heard of the new album I didn't like at all. It's not the sort of thing I want to put any effort into liking, either.

It's fun, catchy stuff. I just like it. Have been listening to "Someone Great" a lot. I could do w/out a couple of the tunes on the disc, but overall it's enjoyable.

That could be it. I'm just curious what you all thought about the album and if it's worth giving another shot.

i have listened to it more than three times, less than ten. i like it. it's interesting to listen to because this isn't really a genre known for good lyrics and yet there're a few songs on sound of silver that i think are quite strong in lyric and subject. and while there are no absolute bangers like "daft punk is playing at my house", it feels more complete than the debut album, which was really just a collection of great singles and stuff that was thrown on to round out a full-length.

I liked the last onemore than I thought I would. This one I haven't heard anything but that lead single from, and it makes me want to die.

Not much of his has done anything for me but a few of the old singles compiled on the 2nd disc with the debut.

This is precisely why Drinky's threads are so valuable to me.


It saves me lots of time not bothering to look into something that's getting lots of hype.
