Holy, what?!? If, with Sound of Silver, you thought that you were in for another 'stick a bunch of good singles together and call it an album' then you better think again, mister. James Murphy, the mastermind behind DFA Records and the whole dance-punk thing, pulls off a masterpiece here. These songs are amazing, and after seeing them performed live, I think they'll be with me for a long time. -- superflav
