The Sound Of Silver Beating On My Eardrums

LCD Soundsystem's new album is a life preserver among a sea of crappy music that seems to break tide between the American coasts. It figures they're from New York, the hub of quality American music. But I believe this album raises the bar over their previous debut effort. The debut was marked by big songs such as "Daft Punk Is Playing...", "Tribulations", and "Disco Infiltrator" but not much else on the album held my attention for much longer. "Sound Of Silver" gets the party started early with "Get Innocuous!" and keeps it rolling all the way through 9 tracks and almost 56 minutes of techno dance. With a hit single like "North American Scum" and key track "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down", it makes me proud to call myself North American Scum. If only there were more American bands who can pull amazing music off like this.

They will also be playing the 9:30 Club in DC on May 13th if you live near that area.
