So I have only actively listened to the first half of the self-titled and Sound of Silver. The latter half of S/T, This Is Happening and American Dream have been played in the background with a few tracks actively listened to:
1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. American Dream
4. S/T (Ironically, two of my top 5 favorite LCD songs — Daft Punk is Playing at My House and Losing My Edge — are on here)
I go back and forth on this all the time because as much as I like their last three albums they're all pretty flawed. All have some absolute monster songs and some pretty terrible songs. If I had to rank them, I'd go:
1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. American Dream
4. LCD Soundsystem
The S/T is the only one I don't really care for. I'd say start with Sound of Silver; All My Friends is the greatest song ever written. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
I started with This is Happening and was hooked ever since.
1. This is Happening
2. Sound of Silver
3. LCD Soundsystem
4. American Dream _________________ Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.
This is Happening was my go to LCD record for years. There's no better album to sum up my college years than that one. That being said, I think I'd put american dream ahead of it (hot take, I know).
1. american dream
2. This Is Happening
3. Sound of Silver
4. 45:33
5. Self Titled
6. London Sessions
7. Introns
I did a ranking not too long after American Dream came out and I feel like it hasn’t changed. Still no less hard to choose a favourite but I’ll omit the live albums.
4. 45:33 (Not traditionally considered a record but still incredibly valuable to their overall output)
3. LCD Soundsystem
2. American Dream
1. Sound of Silver/This Is Happening
1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. LCD Soundsystem
4. American Dream
It's kind of arbitrary to rank these albums because they're all great. _________________ Don't get work up over my posts. I'm an idiot.
