LCD Soundsystem

I'm really kind of upset because I'd think this group would be my favorite band ever - they combine my two favorite genres - dance/electronic and alternative. But the outcome isn't so great... or as great as I would have liked it. I like really loud music with a good beat, but I feel like all of the songs are very quiet, and none of the beats are in your face - the way I like it. I first thing I like to hear when I click on a song is a killer beat or tune. That is honestly all I care about in a song...But that's an overstatement. But I just feel like with most of their songs, you can easily tune out. And that's frustrating for me. I think this band could've been an even bigger success if their beats were a little louder and crazier - they really played it safe with many of their songs. You could then say, "Well maybe some of their fans wouldn't like them if their music was louder." And that could be true. But I would personally like them louder and crazier. Their beats just sound generic. But maybe they were the ones who originally came up with these beats and everyone else copied them. I know I have been complaining a little too much, but I have one more complaint. They sound too much like the All-American Rejects. I don't like All-American Rejects. I can't really describe it, but it is that boy-bandish sound that I really despise.

One song that kind of meets my standards is "Thrills."
