    Definitely a decent record if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. But, I think critics are wanking off too much to James Murphy. This is clearly much less cohesive and interesting than his full-lengths. It's just not that good. BORING.

    I'd have to agree with Tim T. I love LCD Soundsystem. He's done some phenomenal work. But this is not in the same league. And I think Tim is spot on with the complaint that he recycled his own music. Now understandably, this was not originally released as an album for sale, but more as a promotional track. All that said, what are the critics talking about? It's ok. I'd have to agree with Tim T. I love LCD Soundsystem. He's done some phenomenal work. But this is not in the same league.

It's not on par with any of his other work and should not be held in such high regard based upon what LCD has done in the past. Don't believe the hype!… Expand

    It is an expertly crafted and detailed work which accomplishes total immersion in the listener. [Review of UK release]

    45:33 deftly segues from the smooth funk favored by Levan to synth-pop and Talking Heads-style polyrhythms before opening into serious space-party territory.

    LCD Soundsystem's many fans will want this principally for the bonus tracks but will probably already have the rest of 45:33.
