Ha! "Proven their chops"! Wtf?
I'm as annoyed about missing these guys as I am about missing PJ at the BDO. Oh well.
I saw them in 2007 and it was a pretty good show. I like the first 2 albums a lot and The Suburbs is okay.
Maybe it's my frame of mind but I will continue with this album as I do like the band.

Making fun of the size of a girl's breasts is several dozen notches above implementing a dress code for your show in the asshole scale.
absolutely! but it is NOT pretentious.
I see strat had this covered.
You want to read my post on that, because whatever else it was, it was pretentious also.
yeah, that's a fucking idiot thing to ask for the great unwashed that brought your little indie band to this level of success. anyway they were way better on their first 2 albums.

I did, and it wasn't pretentious.
Damn it, stip.

I'm sorry a lot of you don't like this new album. I listened to it 5x when it was leaked. I took two weeks off, then came back to it, and for some reason it just sounded even better. Overlong, but some special stuff.

i've prob listened to this 50x now. it's absurdly addicting but it's not as good as the first 2. that's just how this band thing works i think. it's still better than just about everything that's come out this year and 1000x better than pearl jam's trash.

So where does The Suburbs fall for you?
I think it's great. And better than almost all the stuff I've hard from other bands in the last 5 years. But not as good as 1&2.
To me, a great or even a good album is one I want to listen to again...duh right...and I still go and listen to Suburbs. I haven't put on Pearl Jam's latest in weeks and haven't put on the previous 2 in 12+ months...lol

Gonna give these guys another try from the beginning. Discovered them around Neon Bible, but couldn't get into them that much, minus a few really great songs.
