This Is Happening (Jewel Case)

This is a truly wonderful work of electronic art - James Murphy as a lyricist has few peers but the manner in which each track builds displays an original vision second to none. This album could be described as a concept album it has common themes of "everyone getting younger, and you go stop" as described in Dance Yrself Clean, the wonderful opener that is an equal to Losing My Edge or All My Friends coupled with a joyous release from accepting the LCD journey is coming to an end. A very consistent work that demands to be listened to in one sitting, and doesn't compromise for sales (as outlined in the wondrous You Wanted a Hit).With the deluxe edition you also get a bonus of the London Sessions, reworking of some of their earlier tracks. This is an excellent companion piece and climaxes in Yr Cities A Sucker, a fantastically scabrous track that shows Murphy's ability to craft a great tune with clever lyrics and a mean chorus that sticks in your mind.Overall, a great album, one of the best of the last 10 years.

Probably the best album LCD Soundsystem has ever made. All tracks are killer with no filler and while this album is only 9 tracks long, the play time of the album is well over an hour long. And by god, you will ENJOY spending this hour listening to this album.A definite must have if you enjoy synth-pop and rock.

Murphy's music is not so much original as an excellent mix of Bowie-esque techno and Murphy's own musical ideas. The songs are powerful and never fail to make you move. One of the best albums made this century as far as I am concerned.

Hard to describe, but perhaps a mix of Erasure, Hot Chip and White Stripes. I wouldn't say every track is a winner, but mostly this is an absolute gem. Proper grown up music that twists and turns - not your normal chart drivel. Listen to the samples... very nicely crafted tunes! Only given 4 stars as a couple of the tracks are not as good as the rest...

A great addition to my collection of music. A bit out of the ordinary & very danceable to. Only knew a few of the tracks but happy with the ones I didn't know too.

all good

bring on the new album,james murphy n co can do no wrong in my ears!

Good quality packing and prompt delivery.
