Whatever else you call it, LCD Soundsystem is groovy music

"LCD Soundsystem is a very good CD that incorporates a nice mixture of guitars and synth beats along with some cool vocals. I'm not sure how to label the music, but I've noticed several reviewers describe it as "Discopunk," which works for me. A couple of the songs probably would have benefitted from having been edited a little, but that is not a big problem. I think that I prefer the second disc, which apparently contains the "older" songs that initially developed a following for LCD Soundsystem, but I've changed my mind about that several times already, which means that I think that they both are good. As other reviewers have noted, LCD Soundsystem also a great bargain, with two discs for the price of one. Highly recommended."

Heavy Beat w/Wild Sounds

"Pretty cool stuff - I would say a definite 5 star in its class. Not the kind of stuff I would listen to every day but still great stuff. Nice beat. I love stuff with a strong heavy beat. I can do some serious dancing to this stuff or blast it while driving, or play it on the drums. This stuff is "in the groove!" It can also be party music--where you want the party to be lively. 2 CDs from 2005. Cool techno sounds woven into the music, too. I could do without the singing, but I won't hold it against the group. Saying the same words over and over again has no purpose, but the beat and techno more than makes up for the mindless verbal blather. (Many people like the verbal blather though.) Many of these songs are of sufficient length, too, again, making them great for listening or dancing. I hate it when I just get on the floor and get moving and the song is over. Fortunately, most DJs will at least mix a couple of songs together. Anyway, as you can see below, many are extended length. There is nothing distinctive I can say about each but they are all really cool and all the same type of music and beat. They bring out the ANIMAL in me! R-O-A-R!!! My son loves the album, too. I loaded it on my PC and ipod so I get to hear it now and then because he keeps "borrowing" my CD. About 100 minutes worth of music total in 16 tracks, so if you have only one CD hole in your car, this one will play for almost 1 ¾ hours without having to change it or listen to repeats. You could work out to this CD, too, if you wanted to. It will keep you moving. If not, check your pulse.
