He does sound good, but t's not about him not being able to reach a note, it's about his lung capacity and ability to sustain a phrase. And he doesn't have that ability anymore at this point for these types of songs. So why write them??
He'll be totally out of breath and lost before this ones halfway through. Enjoy it of you see it live, can't see it being a set list regular.

He sounds like he's singing more from his chest than his head in this song... just my gut reaction.

Would seriously love to hear someone who really knows the ins and outs of singing to critique his performance on this track.

Oh well, I'm sure their Phoenix concert will rock. And at least I have Arcade Fire's next release to look forward to.

Some sausages can remain a mystery.

I've been in forums discussing his technical abilities and its even more polarizing than the drummer debate.

Yeah but just keep it to this song and I think we can handle it.

The beginning sounds like it came from a Cameron-penned sideways artsy jam, but they decided to leave it intact this time and shoe-horn it in

So the STBC comparisons weren't too far off.

It sounds like Ole was a test run for this song (in a good way).
