Free Music Notes for Sound of Silver
Free Music Review: Catchy but repetitive
Hit: 4 Stars
Lots of great songs on this cd, especially the first four songs on the cd. The first song rocks. The third track, "North American Scum," will have you jumping up and down and chanting like an English football hooligan. And the forth song, "Someone Great," will bore its way into your subconscious like a mole. But while there are truly some catchy songs here, I have to admit sometimes it does get a bit too repetitive with the Casio-like keyboards and early 90s electronic effects, sounds I know far too well from a misspent youth. This is still worth getting, though.Free Music Review: Sound of Boredom
Hit: 2 Stars
I like dance music, but this CD is just too repetitive. True, there are some cool sounds, but nothing I haven't heard before. In fact, this James Murphy character cribs plenty from other artists. I can't always put my finger on it, but much of what I hear on this album rings a bell of familiarity. For example, I hear some elements of Can (and Murphy doesn't hide his affection for that group either).
Having influences isn't in itself a problem; everyone has influences. But you have to build on those influences and take them in different directions for the music to be worthwhile. Everything on this record makes me think, "been there, done that." True, the songs do subtly evolve, but the repetitive elements are so prominent that they render the album monotonous. I much prefer dance music that has more to offer in the way of actual songs.
Free Music Review: Not That Great
Hit: 2 Stars
I read the reviews of this cd and expected to get something I did not. My favorite track was "Us v. Them" which sounds a bit like a poor man's Talking Heads. The songs tend to get monotonous and the vocals do not seem appropriate to the music at all, in fact they got on my nerves most of the time. If you want a great electronic/dance/rock cd check out MGMT's first full length LP Oracular Spectacular. I has everything that Sound of Silver lacks and a lot more. Free Music Review: i like this cd too
Hit: 4 Stars
this cd rocks. the bips and bleeps are good, the lyrics smart, and melodies that'll stick in your head. Free Music Review: Excellent Record
Hit: 4 Stars
One of the best discs of his category in 2007.
check tracks 4&5 as an appetizer. The qualiity of this record stands out greatly for anybody who likes different kinds of music. I believe it's all in the cohesion of elements: the genres he mixes up are various, but still Murphy makes so as to keep fluidity and pleasure of listening. Very inspired and energetic.
