I listened to the latest album yesterday for the first time. Some pretty good stuff on there. But in general I feel many of the songs are overlong. I think I felt that way with the last release too (on which I only really liked two songs).

If they're too long, you're too old!

People will argue that music like LCD requires a different type of listening, and that the long song lengths allow each gradual change to feel more impactful. Personally though, I do agree that some of their songs could be condensed a little

Picking up where this last left off, i think the length of the songs, at least on This is Happening, are just right, as the songs flesh themselves out properly and it creates a full, solid album without a load of filler; somehow they never feel drawn out. A lot of it is the gradualness of the transformations, but, i dunno, even when there isn't a whole lot of transformation i guess it's the sound itself that keeps me enticed.

Speaking of which, This is Happening is one of my favorite albums now. I have to give Sound of Silver more a of a listen, but i do love All My Friends and the title track, and Get Innocuous!, a song i knew without knowing i knew it, is a hot track itself.

I like This Is Happening just as much as Sound Of Silver. Both albums are certainly not perfect however, while there are some brilliant tunes on both but there are some that I think go on a little bit too long. But songs like 'Get Innocuous!', 'All My Friends' and 'I Can Change' etc. are excellent and ensure that I will be listening to LCD Soundsystem for years to come.

I was never really that fond of their debut. Apart from the odd good song there's a lot of filler and overlong songs on that album. Would have been so much better if the album was trimmed.

What about Losing My Edge?

This is Happening ha become something I've been going back to a lot lately. Especially Pow Pow, Home and U Wanted a Hit.

I think their S/T is miles better than This Is Happening, it has a lot of great songs. I'm not really a fan of their more mild stuff, I prefer their hook-filled pop songs.
