33 1/3: LCD Soundsystem's Sound Of Silver

I'm a fan of the 33 1/3 series with essays about selected albums, and the latest one I read was LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver (2016) by Ryan Leas. Writers take different approaches and in this one Leas mostly analyzes his own personal connection with the band, but also ruminates on their early retirement and return to recording as well as their relationship to nostalgia and New York City in particular. I mostly enjoyed it, but I can see how other readers might have been upset at the lack of journalistic details about the recording of the album as well as a lack of discussion on how the songs were written let alone little actual quotes from the band and its mastermind James Murphy. But I can over look those defects and join in on the recent nostalgia of a band that I think defined the 00s and the fight for relevance in the modern age.
