You can forget about all the rest of them—they blow! It’s like the Beatles, and all those bozos buying all their LPs when the only one that conceivably matters is The White Album. The same goes for 2007’s Sound of Silver, so get rid of all your other dance-punk LPs. Just toss them in the trash; they’re nothing but rubbish cluttering your bedroom!

Sound of Silver is dedicated to the memory of Dr. George Kamen (1942–2006),” reads the inner sleeve, “One of the great minds of his or any generation.” Kamen was a pioneer of psychodynamic and group therapy in NYC – and was reputed to be Murphy’s longtime therapist. For this reason, there was no small amount of speculation surrounding the lyrics to “Someone Great,” which seem to reference a therapist/patient relationship: “I wish that we could talk about it/But there, that’s the problem/With someone new I couldn’t start it/Too late, for beginnings.” Murphy has been repeatedly questioned about the meaning of the song and refused to answer. “I just think it’s unnecessary because it’s personal,” he told The Quietus in 2010. “Songs are songs and to reduce them is to waste them.” When it was first released, it was an instant classic. Critically acclaimed, loved and highly praised and you can definitely see why. The thing with Sound of Silver is that it manages to walk on familiar territory with such confidence. It's often reminiscent of artists that came before them - but they put a new, fresh, exciting slant on it and they manage to add their own personality and distinctive style to it. As you listen to it, you hear Bowie, you hear Eno, you hear Kraftwerk. You can hear a whole host of influences but unlike a lot of artists, LCD Soundsystem aren't simply plagiarising these artists and that's why it was such a critically acclaimed and widely respected album where its legacy will only grow with time. There's a fine line between regurgitating your influences to the point where it feels trite, derivative and dated and actually doing something interesting with those influences while putting a modern slant on it. LCD Soundsystem are always on the right side of that line. This is them at their best. British album certifications – LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver". British Phonographic Industry . Retrieved August 16, 2017. There comes a time in the life of each music fan where they have to turn around and say "I don't get it" when listening to an album they know they should get.

There is no way that I should like this but I bought their self-titled debut on the strength of public opinion and just simply fell in love with the damned thing - so there was never any doubt that I would buy Sound Of Silver. I say "their" but in reality LCD Soundsystem is the brainchild of one James Murphy. This guy must be a bigger music geek than everyone on RYM put together. He takes elements of every conceivable musical form and mixes them together like a maniacal DJ. Everything comes out of the mix with a heavy dance beat but there are so many other things going on the result transcends the term dance music. Every time I listen to the album I get something new from it. It's like looking through an enormous kaleidoscope and marvelling at the endless variegated shapes and patterns it throws up.

ISBN 978-7-09-893419-6 Murphy followed Sound of Silver with 2010’s This is Happeningand ended the band a year later with a four-hour-long farewell show at MSG. He produced Arcade Fire’s Reflektor album, scored two Noah Baumbach films, opened a restaurant and wine bar in Williamsburg, and launched his own coffee brand. Finally, in 2016, Murphy reconvened LCD Soundsystem, with a new album due this year.
