* FunnyMoments: Much of Murphy's lyrics mock the stereotype of the kids that totally listen to his music. The irony is that they normally know they're being criticized, too, but don't care because the music is ''so damn catchy.''
* HeartwarmingMoment: "Home", the closing track of ''This is Happening''.

* BrokenBase: Due to a feud with fellow dance-punkers Death From Above 1979 over their name (Murphy's record label is "DFA Records," which stands for Death From Above, the original name of DFA 1979), some people who are fans of LCD Soundsystem have formed a HateDumb of DFA 1979, and vice-versa. People who are fans of both bands, along with some who are fans of only one, find the whole thing stupid and wanted the two to [[{{Forgiveness}} get over it]].

** LCD Soundsystem making their 2016 comeback. It was either a Fandom Rejoice moment, and long overdue, or a huge point of contention and James going back on his word. James, always the self-aware type, saw this reaction coming, and talked it out in a [[http://lcdsoundsystem.com/main/archives/793 blog post]] that won a few fans back.

** "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" opens with James's funky "OW! OW!", leading then into a repeated electronic guitar riff. It kicks major ass.

** Murphy explained his side of the story in an interview with [[http://www.pitchfork.com/article/feature/31332/Jukebox_James_Murphy Pitchfork]]. He claims that the label knew about the band for a while and didn't care that their name was the same. However, once the band signed to Atlantic, Atlantic refused to release their album if the band's name was the same as another entity. Murphy was OK with the name change to Death from Above 1979, but his lawyers weren't. They only backed down when Murphy said he wasn't comfortable if this legal negotiations would delay the band's album.
