We listened to American Dream, the new album from LCD Soundsystem the day it came out! Here’s what we thought with our first listen, via tweets while jamming to it in Spotify.

1. Opening keyboard reminds me of “All My Friends” Surprisingly emotional and deep track. Great start for sure! #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

3. “I Used To” spacey tune. This would be ideal for if (when) I’m tripping on acid. Whoa man… #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

4. “Change Yr Mind” the guitar scratching is cool. The rest of the song kinda makes my ears hurt. #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

5. “How Do You Sleep?” Classic slow burn music. But sounds like mic was in another room when James sings. #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

6. “Tonite” great song. Electronic beat that never stops. Deep lyrics, good harmonies. Adds layers half way. #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

7. “Call the Police” Looking forward to this live. It’s perfect. Nice melody, great beat, fun song. #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

8. “American Dream” You could slow dance to this at prom. No exactly what I’m looking for with LCD. #lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017

9. “Emotional Haircut” LCD w/ a rock song. Yes! Guitar on point. I don’t know what an emotional haircut is tho.#lcdsoundsystem #FirstListen — HowWasItDetroit.com (@HowWasItDetroit) September 1, 2017
