It looks like you can certainly count on Ratatat to create some innovative music. Talk about instrumentation! I was quite impressed to hear a harpsichord on the track "Dura". I rather like the new spin they put on ridiculously old sounds. Does anyone even produce harpsichords anymore?The rest of the tracks on this CD are same old, same old for Ratatat. Good, but don't stand out too much in the crowd. All in all, this is an okay album.
For what it's worth, Ratatat did a better job on their CD "Classics". Maybe that's why it has such a ballsy album title? Just food for thought.
I would recommend checking that one out if you're just starting to listen to Ratatat. However, if you're a long-time Ratatat fan, give "LP3" a listen and make your own decision.
My vote: 3
My favorite track: "Dura" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9huLvX63Uf4
