Editorial Reviews:

45:33 was originally recorded by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) as a continuous album-length disco symphony. Commissioned by Nike for their Original Run series, it was the second in the series and proved a massive success, both critically and commercially. It is the result of Murphy's desire to create a piece of music outside the typical commercial constraints. 45:33 is a refreshing audio creation, complete and fulfilling, moving through a dynamic range of tempos and rhythms, all the while maintaining the essence of an LCD Soundsystem recording.
Nearly six months since the iTunes exclusive ended, 45:33 is now available for the first time on CD and double vinyl. The CD, which also includes three bonus tracks previously available in the UK only, remains intact as a singular piece of music that is spliced six times for easy navigation.
No longer just for runners, 45:33 will prove to be a must-have release for athletes, DJs, and music fans alike.

Summary: Now you really shouldn't run to it.
Comment: It's been paid for by Nike to be some sort of running aid. Now I don't know about the everyday person but I like a little distraction while running. Don't get me wrong this is a beautiful composition ,though it does have repeating material from his last album it is presented in a new and relaxed way. The whole album is just so relaxing and gorgeously made. It starts off really slow but picks up into some of the best beats James Murphy has ever been apart of. The extra songs are neat but not really necessary, Freak Out being the most fun.

Summary: Well worth it
Comment: If you are already aware of LCD soundsystem then you either already have this or are just taking the steps to get it. If you are new to LCD Soundsystem then you need to be aware of the following
this is low fi electronic dance music with an emphasis on analog
you should probably listen to Sound of Silver first and if you like that then this is a no brainer!
designed to be an electronic "symphony" 45:33 has several tracks that flow one into the other making it perfect for get togethers or just hanging out and taking in some good tunes
Customer Rating:
Summary: Boring
Comment: I really thought that "Sounds of Silver" was an interesting and exciting CD. So I went ahead and bought this thinking it might be more of the same, or at least fun, considering the Amazon review mentions it being a "rave-up" .... but it's really really boring. Start out kinda slow...middle of the CD, it's a little faster but still kinda slow, then slows down for the ending. I felt like I had bought a really generic mix of songs. Not for everyone!

Summary: Is disco alive in 2007?
Comment: James Murphy seems to think so and as LCD Soundsystem he is proving it. This album takes the dance snippets from Sound of Silver and builds on them to create one long, very disco-ey, very blues-ey, no singing dance track. That's not to say that there are no speaking, just not singing.
Once you start listening you can't stop. It sucks you in. It's like background music but not so background that you can't enjoy it. It allows you to focus on anything you're doing while enjoying some great dance music.
This is definitely a must own for any dance or electronic music fan.

Summary: LCD Soundsystem 45:33
Comment: Sounds warm and analogue, not stuffy and not serious. I'm listening to it now on Rhapsody. It is [updated] disco. But it seems affectionate, even fun, like playing with your fuzzy, clever robot kitty. I can see how it would be nice for running [or certain household or creative tasks] as it does engage that certain part of the brain so that the rest of you can focus. Thematically there's a fair amount going on. That said, it won't quite reward active listening. I'm at 14 minutes and so far I'm good; not bored. At 17 minutes it turns funky, at 19 it turns psy. Dag, I'm liking this. It has definitely suspended my disbelief. This definitely has a lot of personality and is cheeky sort of like Basement Jaxx, The Orb, or Yello [at 29 min it reminds me a little of Yello, in a good way]. Mmmm. Chunky. Okay I'll stop now. I know this review was trippy but hopefully it does sort of give you an idea of what to expect until a good reviewer comes along. Bye.
