LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver 2LP

Compared to the first LCD Soundsystem album, "Sound Of Silver" is less silly, funnier, less messy, sleeker, less rowdy, more fun, less distanced and more touching.

It is just as linked to James Murphy's record collection, with traces of post-punk, disco, Krautrock and singer/songwriter schlubs, but the references are evidently harder to pin down.

The number of names dropped in the reviews published before its release must triple the amount mentioned throughout Losing My Edge. There's even some confusion as to which version of David Bowie is lurking around.

One clearly evident aspect of the album is that Murphy has streamlined his sound. All the jagged frays have been removed, replaced by a slightly tidier approach that is more direct and packs more punch.

Murphy comes across as a fully naturalized producer of dance music - especially on Get Innocuous! - as opposed to a product of '90s indie rock who has made a convincing switch-up.
