Review
Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round and get ready to dive into the electrifying world of LCD Soundsystem's sophomore stunner, “Sound of Silver,” dropped in 2007! This album is a kaleidoscopic whirlwind that masterfully merges dance and rock with a sound so deep and full-bodied, it's like a sonic tidal wave washing over the festival grounds. James Murphy, the analog aficionado himself, whips up a rich, expansive atmosphere that breaks free from the cramped confines of over-mastered electronic music of the time – think retro vibes with a futuristic twist.
With a diverse lineup of tracks, “Sound of Silver” takes you on a rollicking ride through infectious hooks and melodic brilliance. Kicking things off with the irresistible "Get Innocuous!" and the cheeky anthem "North American Scum," Murphy keeps you moving and grooving. The emotional depth of “Someone Great” hits you right in the feels with its ambiguous take on loss, while “All My Friends” brings a driving piano riff that explores the bittersweet dance of aging and friendship. And let's not forget the title track, a seven-minute epic journey from no-wave grooves to lush synth landscapes. Hailed as one of the best albums of the 2000s and a cornerstone in LCD Soundsystem’s discography, "Sound of Silver" is an absolute festival gem that earned its spot in the spotlight with a Grammy nod for Best Electronic/Dance Album! - Cody
