    no cut on this album rises above "give me every little thing." worse, the rest of the tracks just sort of mush together and all i could think of when it was over was that it was totally unremarkable.

    Just one brilliant song. Then nothing follows...

    Im not really understanding why this album is getting such good reviews. Apart from "Every Little Thing" there is little of interest to be heard. The female vocals sound like a lazy Miss Kitten. The beats are nothing special. Similar to the DFA Compilations it is very hit and miss, with LCD Soundsystem clearly being the only major talent on this label. And i was sooo excited when buying this :(

    Less Than Human is the sound of James Murphy transforming the songs of a guy who has spent a nauseating amount of time fiddling about with Kraftwerk-y synths into an album as enjoyable at home as it is on the dancefloor.

    Good, but not outstanding.

    It suffers less from a lack of competence than a general lack of inspiring tracks and the consistency of swiss cheese.
