LCD Soundsystem Double CD Daft Punk Is Playing At My House Too Much Love Tribulations Movement Never As Tired as when I’m Waking up On Repeat Thrills Disco Infiltrator Great Release Losing My Edge Beat Connection Give It Up Tired Yeah (crass version) Yeah (pretentious mix) Yr City’s A Sucker (album version)

How did I discover this band? When I first booted up the full retail version of Burnout Paradise(playstation 3), I hear this strange song when I started playing the game “Us v Them”. I hated it, in fact it made me post this awful message on the sony ps3 forums about a lot of the bad music in the game(which I take back a little now, and is a whole other story). I was like, man does all of their music suck this bad? Was I in for a surprise. I found tons of youtube videos on the band, and found some amazing songs. Was blown away. The song that sold me to the point ov where I had to go buy all of their lps was the song “Tribulations”. This song reminds me of New Order. Love it.

What makes me like this band so much? I was not expecting it at all, the guy sings very unique, the music is very different. It’s a huge melting pot of ideas and diversity. I’m old so I can hear all the influences in it, and a lot of it is form music i know and love. I can hear a lot of analog synths as well and tight kick ass real drums. I love “Losing My Edge”, this song is great, it reminds me of Meatbeat Manifesto, with a talking heads vocal spoken word over the top. and the line, “I hear your buying a synthesizer and an arppegiator, and throwing your computer out the window, because you want to make something real”, is one of the best lines I have ever heard in a song.

I love how this lp uses funk, rock, electro, disco, big beat, techno, punk, and a 70s vibe with a modern edge. I also like the song “Movement” as well. It’s electronic Punk! with some psycho beatnik. Reminds me of old punk and the white stripes.

To me this band is like if you took, the talking heads, meatbeat manifesto, new order, pfunk, the white stripes, pinky floyd, the b52s(old stuff, more for the guitar strumming), and the chemical brothers and mixed in a bag, out would come LCD Soundsystem. The song “Never as tired as when i’m waking up” Sounds like pink floyd, it’s so strange to hear how different all the songs are, and to pull it off that well takes an immense amount of talent.

On the song “Give it Up”, the vocals remind me of the vocals robert smith did on the “boys don’t cry” LP. His vocals are all over the place on this record, it’s amazing how versatile the vocalist is. The opening track “daft punk is playing in my house” sounds like something out of the 70s, I know I’ve heard those hooks in old music before, be he twisted it all up kind of like revolting cocks.

This is not for your standard goth or rivet heads. In fact this appeals to the side of me that likes the talking heads, b52s, chemical brothers, new order, and meatbeat manifesto. It’s something new, and that is why I reviewed it, I cannot just review the old music I like hahahaah. I Highly recommend this if you like any of the bands I mention above. Buy now!
