Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

We might be slightly behind the curve on this one, but it'd be a shame if you held that against the band. LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver ($11) is one of those musical rarities that seldom come around. Channeling generous proportions of electronica and rock, LCD's James Murphy tops the concoction off with some of the best lyrics in recent memory. Standout tracks: "All My Friends" and "Us v Them."
