| American Dream Ranked
Album was like a 3/5, but why not? | | 10 |  | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"How Do You Sleep?"
9 minutes of forgettable nothingness. When it tries to pick up towards the end it's more like "finally!" than anything else, and even then meh...
1.5/5 | | 9 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Change Yr Mind"
Oh look a Scary Monsters homage musically... I could be listening to Scary Monsters instead of this.
2/5 | | 8 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Black Screen"
It started off promising, but all it did was drag, and drag, and drag. Seriously, listening to the last 3 minutes of this song was like watching paint dry. If you're going to drag something out at least put in a little more emotion or excitement beforehand. This is supposed to be a dance punk album, right?
2/5 | | 7 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"I Used To"
So this is a halfway decent b-side right? Right? Decent chorus I guess.
3/5 | | 6 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Call the Police"
So this is "All I Want," but way less interesting, right?
3/5 | | 5 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Emotional Haircut"
So this is "Watch the Tapes," but way less interesting, right?
3/5 | | 4 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Oh Baby"
Okay, so now we've reached the songs worth re-listening to. The concept here is pretty cool, it's bright and emotional, but it could use more going on. With that said, it's really sweet and kind of pretty, so good enough!
3.5/5 | | 3 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Other Voices"
So this is "Pow Pow," but way less interesting, right? The only difference is that I love "Pow Pow" so this ends up being pretty cool. Plus Nancy saves this from being forgettable too because I don't believe she's had a part like that before... then again I still need to check the debut.
4/5 | | 2 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"American Dream"
Now THIS is how you write a slow song. Fuck all of the other slow songs on here honestly, this one has the passion, is somehow catchy, and an interesting maturity to it. Why was "Call the Police" the lead single and not this? Then again, this is a dance punk band, why wasn't the lead single something more upbeat? Whatever, this is good.
4.5/5 | | 1 | | LCD Soundsystem
American Dream
"Tonite"
Well this is super fun and it doesn't remind me of better songs by them from previous albums! The voice that says "tonite" is fun and the lyrics are interesting, and I like the beat a lot. It also doesn't drag on too long. Man, I wish the entire album was as good as this as this and "American Dream."

09.08.17 | Nancy should've been on this album more | DoofusWainwright
09.08.17 | Do you dig The Juan MacLean Ars?
That's way more Nancy for your buck | Papa Universe
09.08.17 | Tonite is fire, indeed. | ArsMoriendi
09.08.17 | "Do you dig The Juan MacLean Ars?"
Who? lol | Frippertronics
09.08.17 | Completely off the mark with Black Screen but holy shit spot on with HDYS | zoso33
09.09.17 | i feel like this and This Is Happening have the best flow/tracking | luci
09.09.17 | How Do You Sleep is awful, glad to see others who agree | Frippertronics
09.09.17 | also Call the Police and American Dream came out the same time as a double a-side single | ArsMoriendi
09.09.17 | Oh... odd I heard Call the Police way before I heard American Dream | DoofusWainwright
09.09.17 | Juan MacLean is on Murphy's label and actually moderately interesting as opposed to OCD Bonersystem (channeling Potsy) | AngryLittleAlchemist
09.09.17 | Never heard of them. Name kind of reminds me of Electric Light Orchestra | danielcardoso
09.09.17 | 4 easily felt like one of the worst imo.
LSD Soundsystem would be an even cooler name. | Frippertronics
09.09.17 | "Name kind of reminds me of Electric Light Orchestra"
ELO is far better by a long shot. | ArsMoriendi
09.09.17 | "OCD Bonersystem (channeling Potsy)"
Please don't channel Potsy, 1 is enough. |
