By now you've probably had the new LCD Soundsystem album for months and months, but it officially came out today. Mr. Murphy was very hurt last month when he got news that This Is Happening had already been leaked to the interweb, begging not to share LCD's third, and most likely last album with your friends and to wait till the proper release date to hand it out. I'm not sure how well those pleas were heard, but since today is the day, I will now give you my favorite track off what is currently my favorite album of 2010.
"JUST DO IT RIGHT. MAKE IT PERFECT AND REAL."
If this is LCD's last album, they are going out with a serious bang by having "Home" as the last track on the album and the last song that the public will get to hear from them. Sure, you can hear the Bowie and Talking Heads influences lightly sprinkled throughout the album, and "Somebody's Calling Me" does sounds too much like "Nightclubbing" by Iggy Pop, but "Home" is pure LCD. Ok, so maybe "Home" does sound a little Talking Headish, but you tend to forget that when James Murphy delivers such sensible lyrics that, well, hit home. I find it kinda awesome that Mr. Murphy is leaving us with what I believe is his most personal track by LCD to date. It leaves you hanging and makes you wonder what else James could have had up his sleeve for his band. I suppose this is his intention, to leave us wondering and to go out on top, cause this could be it. And it is happening. LCD's swan song. James is going home. Forget your past, this is your last chance now. Grab your things and stumble into the night...

P.S. I can't wait till LCD reunites and plays Coachella 2020.
