It was released in the United Kingdom on May 17, 2010 and in the US on May 18, 2010 on Virgin Records America. It was recorded over the course of 2009 and early 2010 in the Mansion recording studio in Los Angeles. The first single, "Drunk Girls", was released in April 2010, with a music video directed by Spike Jonze. The album is dedicated to Jerry Fuchs (1974–2009), who performed drums live with the band on occasion, as well as having a big part in associated DFA acts. == Reception == At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ''This Is Happening'' received an average score of 84, based on 38 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".〔 It also achieved an ''ADM Rating'' of 7.7/10 on another review aggregator, AnyDecentMusic?. ''Guardian'' reviewer Alexis Petridis observed that the album did not contain ''Sound of Silver''s "startling sense of mapping out new territories", instead sticking to a template that worked "incredibly well."〔 In his review for AllMusic, Tim Sendra had a similar opinion, stating that while ''This Is Happening'' "doesn't quite reach the monumental heights" of the band's previous album, it still provided proof that LCD Soundsystem was "one of the most exciting and interesting bands around in the 2000s." Sendra also commended Murphy's expansion as a lyricist and songwriter, and said that his production on the album "reveal() him at the top of his game",〔 Pitchfork Media's Ryan Dombal awarded the album a Best New Music accolade, describing it as "pretty perfect".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「This Is Happening」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
