Giunge dopo tre singoli l'esordio alla lunga distanza degli LCD Soundsystem - ossia James Murphy, creatore della label DFA insieme a James Goldsworthy - e si può dire che l'attesa non è stata vana. Da ormai due anni il nome DFA è diventato sinonimo di revival punk-funk, e, dopo la sbornia di popolarità dei loro protetti The Rapture, non c'è stata rivista che non abbia incensato qualsiasi cosa da loro sfornata. Comprensibile quindi l'hype cresciuto attorno all'uscita di questo disco, come è comprensibile anche la paura di trovarsi fra le mani un prodotto mediocre. Cosa che non accade, visto che il buon Murphy costruisce un ottimo album, musicalmente vario e ispirato, la cui unica pecca può forse essere quella di voler accontentare sia i fedeli seguaci DFA, sia ascoltatori meno adusi al beat elettronico, col pericolo di scontentare entrambi.

L'album spazia dall'incedere ipnotico di Too Much Love, al tipico sound DFA di On Repeat, ai beats austeri e molto kraftwerkiani di Thrills e al groove electro di Tribulations. Sono però le tracce che si allontanano dal territorio sonoro tipico degli LCD quelle migliori: l'opening Daft Punk Is Playing At My House, condotta da un basso "che pompa", la tensione post punk con tanto di sferragliare chitarristico (un'assoluta rarità da queste parti) di Movement, il quasi ambient della finale Great Release, fino a Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up, improbabile ballad a metà fra i Pink Floyd primi anni'70, e i Beatles di Let It Be.


Con soli 15 euro vi porterete a casa l'album, e il bonus cd con tutti i singoli prodotti dai nostri, Losing My Edge inclusa.

01   Daft Punk Is Playing at My House (05:16)

Daft punk is playing at my house, my house
I'll show you the ropes, kid, show you the ropes
Got a bus and a trailer at my house, my house
I'll show you the ropes kid, show you the ropes
I bought fifteen cases for my house, my house
All the furniture is in the garage
Well daft punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up

You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up

Cow bell solo

Well everybody's lined up in my house, my house
And Sarah's girlfriend is working the door
Got everybody's PA in my house, my house
All the robots descend from the bus
There's a freak out brewing in my house, my house
In the basement
'Cause daft punk is playing at my house, my house
You got to set them up kid, set them up

You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up

You got to set 'em up, ooh ooh yeah (x2)
You got the set them up, set them up

And never, never let them go
No never, never, never let them go
Never, never, never let them go
Let them go
Downtown

02   Too Much Love (05:42)

What will you say when the day comes
When it's no fun
When it's all done
When it's no fun

What will you say when the time comes
There's a dry run when it's undone
And there's no one

When it's too much love
Too much love
Too much
It's too much love
Too much love
Too much

What will you do when you wake up
Fatten you up
Fasten you up
Fatten you up

No memories to get cloudy
To get cloudy when you can't see
What you can't see

It's all the same when it's morning
And you're boring
Still ignoring everything

No memories to remind you
Of the old you
Nothing for it
Just keep it up, keep it up

With no memory
With no memory
With no memory
To keep you up at night

03   Tribulations (04:59)

Everybody makes mistakes
but i feel alright when i come undone
you're not making me wait
but it seems alright as long as something's happening
i try to make you late
but you fight me off like a fire does
you try making me wait
but it feels alright as long as something's happening

get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations

you try to make me wait
you come around when it's come undone
everybody makes you late
and it's never you because you're always thinking
i try making you wait
and give you me some like you give it good
everybody makes mistakes
but it seems it's mine that always keep on stinging

get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations
x2

you try making me wait
but you come undone when you come undone
everybody makes mistakes
but it's always mine that seem to keep on sticking

get your payments from the nation
for your trials and tribulations
x5

It's like a movement from a small place to a bigger city

It's like a movement without the bother of another meaning

It's like a couple dads and a few friends trying hard to stay in
