Their sound is really funky but I like it a lot. It's like a mix of electronic, pop, and alternative. I initially got the album for electric feel and kids, but found out Time to Pretend is also by them. Plus I hella liked The Handshake and the one song about monsters.

Anyone else like them or is it just me?

Ya, they're definitely interesting. I got into them after hearing Justice's remix of Electric Feel. You should check it out.

Girlfriend likes them, but she said it's kind of gay and I'm not allowed to listen to it.

that's how you heard them.

Well I can say I'm one of the only ones who listens to coheed (my coworker turned out to be a fan as well after I let him borrow my cd). But i would wager it's hard for the general public to get into them. MGMT seems the same way.

:laugh: Yeah, I get that vibe from them in parts of their songs

Whenever I tell my GF to listen to strange, different music like this, she likes to remind me that I have "weird" taste in music by saying "Fake Plastic Trees!". Good to know your GF looks out for you.... :beer:

They were the "catch of the day" on a local radio station and I liked Time to Pretend but never really cared to listen to more of their music.

If this music is weird...you must have a really narrow music selection. DMB/John Mayor/Beyonce?

heh, just kidding.

First heard Time to Pretend, kind of like quite a few of the songs actually once I got the album.

Boston radio airwaves play them way too much.....that said, they are not bad. Kind of refeshing actually....until you hear them 20 times a day.

i saw them open for Beck a couple months ago.

For an opening act, they were actually pretty good.

"Electric Feel" and "Kids" are awesome songs. I was at a DJ set and they sampled "kids" and it was awesome.

My friend heard them for the first time and he has since picked up the "Electric Feel" 12". I like them, but have to be in the right mood.

Should you call LCD Soundsystem "they" or "he"? He's the music-maker but performs with others on stage...
Not sure how to properly grammar-nazi the thread?



/Yes, I just made grammar-nazi a verb
