shunt  said about 5 years ago  or at  11:58AM on Tuesday, December 12 2006 in music

so umm it seems the last thread about this record got deleted?? weird

was it cause that rascal worksafehiponion posted a link to the leak? did dfa threaten to get all legal on yr asses or what?

here's another link to test that theory:

Sound Of Silver


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

it's a pretty fucking excellent album. i'm ignoring 2007 stuff while i re-listen to all the 06 stuff though.


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

Since we're reposting things that were on the old LCD thread:

ghey!


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

i think it's great. at least, i think i think it's great

i don't really know cause i posted my thoughts in the other thread

and now it's deleted. now i am thoughtless

HRMPH!


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

james murphy seems quite fascistic against downloading mp3s/leaks. wouldn't surprise me if it's someones job role at DFA to go round and ask websites/blogs to remove links. cause they always seem to jump on any blogs who post unreleased dfa stuff pretty damn quick. sucks. DUDES I PROBLY WOULDA NEVER EVEN HEARD YOUR BANDS IF I HADN'T ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

it's his choice though. just like it's metallica's choice. and it's up to other people to choose to let people download things for free too. everyone gets to choose and wear the outcome. woohoo - liberal societies.

just thought i should take back some of my scoffs at this album because i had a really good listen to it today, and thought it had some really fine moments.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

yep, james murphy is the new james hetfield. but i dunno why i was being so angsty about it 11 days ago. yr right - it's his tunes so he can do what he wants with them

meanwhile this record made me cry today. i'm so emo


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

was it because of 'all my friends'?


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

it was "someone great"s fault

to tell the truth i saw it coming
the way you were breathing
but nothing can prepare you for it
the voice on the other end


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

ah yes. man, i feel like this is the album that lcd will win me over with. 'all my friends' is like an update on 'waiting for the man' - penned by the new east-coast emigré, now middle class, ever cosmopolitan.


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

it's really quite the sterling effort. been listening after i finished up my 2006 lists.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

yeah been listening on repeat the last few days

you just have to skip the 2 or 3 dud tracks

still... probably not the best of 2007. at least i hope there's better to come


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

nah, i like probably like five albums better - like you said, a couple of duds bring it down - but it's still a damn sight ahead of the last album


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

hahah i love discussing the best of 07 in december of 06

i haven't heard much yet. just listening to the chk chk chk you linked which is sounding pretty good. only prob is every time i listen to them i just wish out hud were still around instead


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

okay. the vocals on 'get innocuous' are seriously bad. it sounds like john farnham's backing singers for '(that's) freedom'. and is that bassline a direct sample of kraftwerk's 'we are the robots'?



scissors  said about 5 years ago:

and amazing lyrics.


We're charging our battery
And now we're full of energy
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots

We're functioning automatic
And we are dancing mechanic
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots

Ja tvoi sluga, (I'm your slave)
ja tvoi Rabotnik (I'm your worker.)

we are programmed just to do
anything you want us to
we are the robots
we are the robots
we are the robots
we are the robots

we're functioning automatic
and we are dancing mechanic
we are the robots
we are the robots
we are the robots
we are the robots

Ja tvoi sluga, (I'm your slave)
ja tvoi Rabotnik (I'm your worker.)

Ja tvoi sluga, (I'm your slave)
ja tvoi Rabotnik (I'm your worker.)

[repeat to fade]
We are the robots

Coz  said about 2 years ago:

I am totally convinced that Someone Great is the best song ever written.


moke  said about 2 years ago:

It is a truly amazing album. I find it hard to pick a favourite song.


k2  said about 2 years ago:

I agree it is amazing, but I still cannot listen to North American Scum and New York I Love You. Both make me cringe.


k2  said about 2 years ago:

My favorite song is Us vs Them


anok  said about 2 years ago:

fwiw my sound of silver favs are get innocuous & sound of silver and always have been. nothing comes close to either on that record.


Nathanjones  said about 2 years ago:

How exciting!


anok  said about 2 years ago:

101010101010101  said about 2 years ago:

Great stuff.


mrmagoo  said about 2 years ago:

All My Friends is the best song on Sound of Silver you foolish people!


anok  said about 2 years ago:

bye bye bayou = outstanding.

murphy needn't stress about having lost his touch.


Nathanjones  said about 2 years ago:

Ooh, I must remember to download tonight....


dub3000  said about 2 years ago:

it is damn good


Nathanjones  said about 2 years ago:

I've listened to 30 seconds of it and enjoyed what I heard of it.


adam  said about 2 years ago:

In retrospect, a vastly overrated album


illywhacker  said about 2 years ago:

Their myspace says they're playing the Prince 8th of Jan but there's nothing on the Prince site. Anyone know the story?


anok  said about 2 years ago:

illywhacker  said about 2 years ago:

Excellent. Cheers anok.


scotch egg  said about 2 years ago:

LCD on JJJ with 2ManyDJs. Pretty good set actually.


Nathanjones  said about 2 years ago:

So, it's not really a proper LCD Soundsystem show.


anok  said about 2 years ago:

so who went last night?
