I really liked Reflektor. And the Orpheus/Eurydice songs are the tits.
Also, Tunnels is my favorite Arcade Fire song and was the highlight of the show when I saw them on the Reflektor tour.

I appreciated the Reflektor more after seeing them perform several of the songs live. Still, it is probably their third or fourth best album.

New single "Everything Now" just released. New album out July 28.
First impression: a big meh. All I keep hearing is the "Can't Keep My Eyes Off of You" melody.

I liked it. It wasn't spectacular, but I liked it.

that song sounds like something that would have been on the adult contemporary station that my parents listened to in the 80s

Well, someone needs to fill the ABBA void.

At first I thought it sounded like a B-Side to a Moon Shaped Pool and then it actually got kind of interesting. Don't love it, but it seems like a perfectly acceptable first single. Too long though.
