LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem is the musical project of James Murphy, who is also co-founder of the DFA record label out of NYC (which happens to be one of the only US dance labels that gets some international respect). LCD blends a lot of sounds together including Dance Punk, electronic elements, disco, etc. This is the bands second release and it has recieved much critical acclaim. It was named best album of the Year by the Guardian UK and Time magazine named "All my Friends" one of the best songs of 2007. It was also nominated for a Grammy for best Electronic/Dance album (...not that that means anything because Britney Spears belching is probably nominated...but I digress). Uber-pretentious Pitchfork also named 2 songs of the album as 2 of the top 50 songs of 2007. Either way, the album has numerous memorable songs and is very listenable.

1. Get Innocuous
2. Time to Get Away
3. North American Scum
4. Someone Great
5. All My Friends
6. Us v. Them
7. Watch the Tapes
8. Sound of Silver
9. New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
