“Movement” travels back and forth from a guitar-driven chorus to the lyrics containing ever-present handclaps. With lyrics like “it’s like a fat guy in a t-shirt doing all the saying” and “it’s like a movement from a smaller place to a bigger city” the entire song is just one giant simile that even John Milton would envy. Being one of the shorter tracks on LCD Soundsystem coming in at just over three minutes, it doesn’t lose any of the brash, in-yourface dance anthems that Murphy created with his earlier singles.

Murphy proves that less can be more with the track “On Repeat.” The song begins with simple beats and percussion that highlight his witty yet straightforward lyrics. As the song continues, various hypnotic repeating sounds are added over his austere beginning to get pound-

ing, machine-like groove that would make any wallflower get out on the dance floor.

One of the more standout tracks on LCD Soundsystem is “Disco Infiltrator.” Starting off with a startling crescendo chord sequence that makes its presence known randomly throughout the song, it proves to be another single-worthy hit among others that LCD Soundsystem has released in the past. “Disco Infiltrator” is a perfect moment for another ironic Murphy proposal on the way life can be – on and off the dance floor. “There in mind, we all fall behind, from time to time,” he sings over a pounding background of ambient beats and funky percussion.

With an energetic, playful, yet aggressive release, LCD Soundsystem won’t be falling behind any time soon.
