Review of Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012) by Alden W — 22 Mar 2013

Part movie / part concert. The movie part is snippets of interviews and fly-on-the-wall footage of a 41 year old man who has decided to give up being a rock star for a normal life, which is a unique angle.

The concert part is very impressive, the only negative comment I can make is that there were a lot of much better songs that they could have put in, they must have played these but just didn't include them in the movie, at least I hope so for those fans pictured crying during the final concert of the much underrated LCD Soundsystem.

I think that anyone who watches this and doesn't know the band will seek out a few albums afterwards, they will be pleasantly surprised but eventually a bit sad that there will be nothing more from them.
