The first thing I need to acknowledge is that I usually hate Dance/ so called Electronic music, primarily for terribly repetitive lyrics and music that only approaches a good idea after a lot of mixed drinks. Still, when I heard "North American Scum" with it's sarcastic/ironic lyrics and catchy melodies, I was hooked. Yet it would be several more months before I would get the rest of the album. Hearing them live on the World Café playing "All My Friends" and other tracks made me reconsider, like "Get Innocuous!" and "Us V Them" along with Amazon's bargain price. The witty lyrics and catchy music make this an outstanding listen. This is the perfect album to drive around with as well as work out to and yes, even dance to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got me into electronic, July 8, 2008

I was one of those classic rock guys that thought the vast majority of new music sucked. Then one of my friends forced me to consume LCD Soundsystem and I realized that the new music revolution is here and it involves people with laptops. The first listen might be a little awkward, but before you know it, you're dancing on the street, laughing at lyrics that are too real and finding yourself becoming... an electronic music fan.
Check out the "Bunch of Stuff" remixes. They break it wide open.

4.0 out of 5 stars More focused LCD (4.5 stars), March 14, 2007

The second LCD full length is at once a more daring record, but also a more focused record. The most rewarding thing about the first album was the inclusion of all LCD's previous vinyl releases collected on the bonus disc. The self titled debut itself was strong in places, but unfocused, and not much linked the various styles together. Here, on the new record, LCD is able to create a record that wanders through various styles and yet somehow manages to still work as a larger whole. Murphy's vocals are alot stronger, and the sound is overall alot fuller without being overdone. The slower songs are better, and the digital madness more infectious than ever. Overall, it is much more focused and rewarding effort from LCD. Highly recommended for fans of the first album and newcomers alike.
