We’ve all been on the major high that This Is Happening has us in but man, I couldn’t help going back to this previous album, Sound of Silver and was amazed at how good it is. Back on their first album, James Murphy and Co. made an awesome self-titled album that featured them being playful, creative and entirely mesmerizing. It was the kind of album that you could bliss out too, as well as just jam out to. And when Sound of Silver came out, I was a bit shocked at how different the whole sound was.It took and it’s taken a helluva long time for me to really like it, but this is one awesome album. The opener (heard below) is built upon layers and layers of sounds, before everyone is heard singing the title and later on, in the heart of the album, you have arguably, the two best songs sandwiched in between each other, “Someone Great” and “All My Friends. (heard below)” At the end, Murphy is belting out about his struggles in the city and yet, he realizes just how much he loves it. If you even remotely like the new one, check this one out too, soon – Bryan.
