"Excellent....
When i heard the city song on Dark Room, the first thing on my mind was "the Fall, but different". LCD soundsystem use a hypnotic beat like the better Underworld songs. It's a technique that can powered up the lenght of a song. Live, they can bring people in trance for a long long time. But above all, LCD soundsystem brings a new sound and they are welcome!!!!!!!!"
Neither rockin' nor rump-shakin'

"In light of the glowing reviews for LCD Soundsystem's singles, "Movement" is downright unimpressive. The song is a generic slice of dance-punk that's almost danceable and comes close to rockin' out without achieving either goal. For all the acclaim James Murphy gets from critics, you'd think he could write a memorable chorus or catchy hook. Based upon "Movement", you'd be wrong. This single might appeal to fans of innocuous MTV fare like Fatboy Slim or The Killers, but it doesn't approach the excitement or innovation of similar artists like The Rapture, The Fall or early Cure."
