Sound Of Silver

Product Information

James Murphy stated that he would like the album to be in the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Charts. It debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 46. [32] As of January 2016, the album has sold about 225,000 copies in United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. About 123,000 of those are physical copies, and about 101,000 of those are digital copies. [33] The album reached number 28 on the UK charts.

Sound of Silver is dedicated to the memory of Dr. George Kamen (1942–2006),” reads the inner sleeve, “One of the great minds of his or any generation.” Kamen was a pioneer of psychodynamic and group therapy in NYC – and was reputed to be Murphy’s longtime therapist. For this reason, there was no small amount of speculation surrounding the lyrics to “Someone Great,” which seem to reference a therapist/patient relationship: “I wish that we could talk about it/But there, that’s the problem/With someone new I couldn’t start it/Too late, for beginnings.” Murphy has been repeatedly questioned about the meaning of the song and refused to answer. “I just think it’s unnecessary because it’s personal,” he told The Quietus in 2010. “Songs are songs and to reduce them is to waste them.” Molanphy, Chris (January 22, 2016).

The good records I convert to flac and mp3, the lesser albums only go to mp3. I love the lossless flac, but iPods don't support it without tinkering and I'm wary of messing with fascist Apple crapola hardware. Obviously, I'll be converting my Eurythmics records to both.

Customer reviews

According to a number of music publications Sound Of Silver by LCD Soundsystem is the best album released in 2007. Normally heading "best of" polls is like the kiss of death for an album. It's as if the public take exception to being told what they should be listening to and look elsewhere just to be contrary. I know because I'm one of those people! But sometimes, just sometimes, the so-called cognoscenti prove they have a smidgeon of knowledge and taste - I suppose if you fire enough bullets you're bound to hit something eventually.

In December 2007, Sound of Silver was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album, eventually losing to We Are the Night by The Chemical Brothers. [34] The album was also nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Prize, where it lost out to The Reminder by Feist. Josh Tyrangiel (December 9, 2007). "Top 10 Songs - Top 10 Everything of 2007".
