Product Description
Album Description
The new album is LCD Soundsystem's first full offering of new studio material since 2007's Sound Of Silver, which was named best album of 2007 by The Guardian, Uncut and the Independent among others, and like its predecessor 2005's LCD Soundsystem received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album. Sound Of Silver also featured Uncut song of the year "North American Scum," and "All My Friends," ranked #4 by Time in its Best Songs of 2007 and named track of the year by Mojo. In 2008, LCD Soundsystem contributed the track "Big Ideas" to the soundtrack of the movie 21. The band has since released the 45:33: The Remixes EP and a cover of Alan Vega's "Bye Bye Bayou," issued to commemorate Record Store Day 2009 and earning LCD its fifth NME single of the week. The album will be preceded by the March 22nd release of the soundtrack to Noah Baumbach's Greenberg, which features both composition's from James Murphy's original score for the film and the new LCD Soundsystem song "Oh You (Christmas Blues)."

This review is from: This Is Happening (Audio CD)
New York's LCD Soundsystem has been artfully twiddling with musical conventions for several years now; it has pretty much become the benchmark for consciously hip electro-punk.This Is Happening follows 2007's much-name-dropped album The Sound Of Silver and further affirms the fact that this is more of a clever `project' than a band. Main man James Murphy dominates the songs (typical sleeve credits include `James Murphy: drums, Yamaha CS60, Roland TR-606, noise, vocals, claps, glockenspiel...') and plays fast and loose with a swathe of genres. What's surprising, though, is that all this immaculate coolness is so fantastically easy to warm to. This Is Happening is purportedly a swansong for LCD Soundsystem. If that does turn out to be true, then Murphy has gone out with a bang and a starburst of future possibilities opening up through the à la mode DFA record label he co-founded. Its nine fairly lengthy numbers bristle with invention and the instinctively snappy appeal of classic pop. Murphy has always spiked his tunes with self-effacing humour (right back to 2002 single Losing My Edge) but here it sounds sharper and brighter than ever, from the deliciously louche rock groove of Drunk Girls (`Just 'cuz I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless') to the sweet and sour romance of I Can Change and All I Want. He's still a tricky, contrary creature - on You Wanted A Hit he protests `but maybe that's not what we do'. Maybe not, but he is capable of turning on a lot of new listeners beyond a knowing niche crowd. Finally, LCD Soundsystem sound like an in-joke that everyone gets - and that really is happening.

Another solid album from LCD,

This review is from: This Is Happening (Audio CD)
Totally disagree with reviewer that gives this album 1 star. The only track on this album that I wasn't a fan of is Drunk girls. This album takes a couple of listens to warm up to it, but thats the same as a lot good music. I have their first 2 albums and this one is a little different. 4 and half stars.

Download the few tracks u like, THIS is [NOT] Happening,
This review is from: This Is Happening (Audio CD)
Let's keep things short, but sweet. This album doesn't cut-it, especially when comparing to previous works. Full transparency, I (was) a fan. The songs and lyrical themes are stale(rehashings from previous work) and I started to get a headache from boredom. You will be disapointed by the monotonous (under composed) musical tracks and run back to Amazon (like I did), to resell the CD to some sucker who didn't read this review. Wait another to 2yrs to see if LCD can redeem themselves or keep a look out for potentially good remixes of these tracks from This is [NOT] Happening.
