Effortlessly combining electro, funk, dance and punk into a rumbling colossus, LCD Soundsystem's second studio album manages to straddle the oft-treacherous divide between cool and meaningful with aplomb. James Murphy's various talents (DJ, producer, songwriter and vocalist) are streamlined into a showstopping whole, while a driving series of basslines act as a crucial anchor throughout. 'All My Friends' is the leading track, no question, but every song on the Sound Of Silver rings true in a different way; it represents a stream of innermost secrets and fears escaping the body in an immaculately presented package. Decade Defining Track: All My Friends
