LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

I hate to beat a dead horse but I can't seem to let go on the topic of the latest from LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver. I was more than pleased to give away an additional copy the other week (to Rocco, in case you were wondering) because this album feels like it could easily reach my top ten of the year. Oddly, I can remember a specific time when I couldn't stand the stylings of James Murphy's side DFA project - his nasal-y vocals, the production style, the seemingly fluff subject matter - but now I've come full circle and embraced just about all of those things. Sound of Silver seems to legitimize the outfit as a project capable of more than just dancefloor style anthems. This album feels more organic than the last and, lyrically, more personable. It is not neccasarily an album that will grab you immediately but with repeated listens, you will come to crave it.. at least in my opinion.
