Sounds warm and analogue, not stuffy and not serious. I'm listening to it now on Rhapsody. It is [updated] disco. But it seems affectionate, even fun, like playing with your fuzzy, clever robot kitty. I can see how it would be nice for running [or certain household or creative tasks] as it does engage that certain part of the brain so that the rest of you can focus. Thematically there's a fair amount going on. That said, it won't quite reward active listening. I'm at 14 minutes and so far I'm good; not bored. At 17 minutes it turns funky, at 19 it turns psy. Dag, I'm liking this. It has definitely suspended my disbelief. This definitely has a lot of personality and is cheeky sort of like Basement Jaxx, The Orb, or Yello [at 29 min it reminds me a little of Yello, in a good way]. Mmmm. Chunky. Okay I'll stop now. I know this review was trippy but hopefully it does sort of give you an idea of what to expect until a good reviewer comes along. Bye.

This album really feels like a musical journey across a variety of styles and instrumentation. I can't say that I know the story behind the album or what influenced it, but I can tell you I like it.

I kind of just bought it on a whim and a good hunch. the only 2 tracks that i knew before buying this (along with Sound of Silver and their Self titled) were "Losing my edge" and "Yeah (pretentious mix)". With the exception of "hippie priest Bum out" this is one 45+ minute track that blends together 5 to 7 songs you would find on any other average cd. While there are alot of bright spots to be found on this one huge track, I really think they kick it up a notch around minute 17 and from there seamlessly span across different styles of dance music. Some of it very Herbie Hancock influenced, spacey techno, disco heavy Fat bass and then some. the last 10 minutes are like a subtle come down, but not much going on but a transcending synth pad.

so really, you're getting a good solid 35 minute musical journey that is upbeat, fun, and down right enjoyable. if you like LCD Soundsystem, Electronica, or dance pop with a nostalgic feel and modern approach, buy this album.

this is a sweet album. I don't know much about LCD Soundsystem, I've only listened to that silver album before (it's really good too) but then I read some reviews and I bought this mostly because it was super cheap and people seemed to like it. Turns out it's super rad, 45:33 is a great song even though it's a little long (over 8 minutes!) and then Freak Out is hilarious and really good too even though it's also pretty long (also over 8 minutes!). Anyway this album is pretty good value and honestly how many good songs do you know that are over 45 minutes and 33 seconds? not many I bet. I rest my case.

I don't know why this has a crazy title in the listing. It's 45:33, and it's awesome. Funky as heck. I've been a fan of LCD for a while, but for some reason (probably because of the Nike association) I put off getting this. That was dumb, it's a sweet record.

Get with it and join the LCD revolution.... it's WILD! It's hard to categorize their style but there is no missing their transient beats... guaranteed to set you off to Tangentia and beyond!
