This is Happening (2010) was the last major LCD Soundsystem album.
We've enjoyed a period of calm, during the hiatus of the band LCD Soundsystem. We've avoided shuffling 'plurnt' by the atonal melodies and ululations of J. Murphy.Now, this is happening: their reunition and new album release.
Fuck.
This blog was started in 2008 and a single post was published.
Since then a number of people, about 4,500 says Google Analytics, have visited this page -- most likely because they googled "lcd soundsystem sucks".A spirited subset of those left colorful comments on the single post.
These confused souls found others who felt just like they did. A sense of community whelmed visitors.
We're connected by our wonder of just what the fuck is wrong with people who listen to LCD Soundsystem?
With a renewal of LCD Soundsystem on the scene comes a renewal of the assertion that their music is drivel.
Has anything changed since 2010? Has the b-level fame gone to Jim Murphy's head? Will he resume pushing turd after musical turd into our Spotify playlists?
Does the new album deserve our attention? Will it not be samples of mule pissing and pedestrian synth 'beats'?
It's time to come out of the woodwork, as the shit-for-band is doing again.
It's time to beam our opinions into this vent of hatred, to commune in the shared disdain for the next ca-ca cacophony (read: diarrhea record) once again.
How crap-tastic will the upcoming album be?

I remember hearing LCS Soundsystem on Youtube many years ago while listening to 009 Sound System songs (I like them unironically) because it was one of my recommendations, probably due to the fact that the names are so similar. HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS ARE AWFUL. The song I heard was "All My Friends," and I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE PRAISING THIS SONG! It's literally the same annoying two piano keys over and over.
Fucking kill me, fam.
"Sometimes friends are mean" - I mean, really!?!?! It might have been that cloying little throw-away line, delivered like a po-faced muppet that finally killed it all for me. They really are the worst possible combination of twee+snarky. I HATE THEM. OK, so some of his Bowie-isms are kinda' alright, but then we have to sit through nonsense like the apologist whine of "North American Scum" - seriously, what sort of personality disorder do you have to have to write a piece of crud like that? There could be so much to like about LCD if JM would get out of his own way - it is all so self-conscious, so "PLEASE LIKE ME", and "AREN'T WE COOL????" (Oh, but "we don't DO hits!" - OH BROTHER!)
To quote one of the TRULY great NYC bands of all time, dear LCD: "GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY."
James murphy and co are the most self-conscious and insufferable of all. All of their output has such a strong contrived vibe to it, and not just the music. The lower case song titles are just as cringeworthy as the music itself. I can go on but I refuse to spend a significant amount of time writing thing comment. Bottom line is, the fact that they even announced a farewell tour is desperate and attention-seeking enough. Now they're back. And it hasn't even been 10 years since they've been gone. James is just a little bitch. It's like, he needed assurance that people care about him and the band. Once he saw all those pitchfork babies cream their pants, I knew his little bitch ass was gonna need more of their pitchfork cum to fill him up. Fast forward to them doing like 73 shows at this new venue in brooklyn lmfao. It's all just so mind numbing.
I'd rather peel off my skin and dive head first into the Dead Sea than subject myself to this shitty band again. buh-bye!
