Far from the typical difficult second album that some might have expected, 'Sound Of Silver' takes the LCD Soundsystem we know and love, and shows their rebirth as a great "pop" band. Here repetitive percussion, towering walls of sound, driven melodies, lyrical hooks and occasional abstract and detailed string orchestration combine to create a sound like no other.
From the crushing barrage of first single and last track recorded for the set 'North American Scum' (which precedes the album) to the lounge piano of epic closer and twisted love ode to his hometown 'New York I Love But Your Bringing Me Down' via the cascading harmonics of 'Sound Of Silver' or 'Someone Great', this is the definitive sound of LCD Soundsystem.
