Critics have claimed that LCD Soundsystem is a revolution in the electro world, a record that infuses a heart and soul into the cold mechanics of the genre. While this may be the end result, it would be a mistake to see James Murphy’s music as a calculated stylistic step. It’s about the sound of someone with a pretentious record collection having a good time. The honesty of this creation process is at the core of the album’s warmth and appeal. It’s not new or important, just pretty fucking cool.
