I really like how the songs keep churning along in this self indulgent, grand fashion.stip wrote:so what do people like about this album? What are others hearing that I'm not?

i agree...no need to rank. give me any of the 4.harmless wrote:The Suburbs felt too long for me. This album is much longer but feels right. But I don't feel the need to argue over best albums when it comes to Arcade Fire, I'd take any one of them with me onto a desert island to die.Soma. wrote:Yeah, I think those elements are fun as hell. I hate to think what Stip thinks of Qotsa's Songs for the Deaf.
The Suburbs is so much better, by the way. I don't want to kill any boners out there. Just saying.

I listened to reflektor (the song) again out on a walk and it's pretty great. I may have to give this whole album at least one more shot

If you listen to Dave A, Eddie Vedder is nothing but calculating.stip wrote:harmless wrote:Also, I find it staggering that you would think Arcade Fire's songs are "calculated", as a huge Backspacer fan. That's not a dig at you or Backspacer, either.
I don't think Eddie vedder has a calculating bone in his body. I think there are times Backpsacer is awkward, but always sincere
"Ocean of Noise" is my favorite song on that album.Harry Lime wrote:So I have no desire to listen to "Ocean of Noise", "No Cars Go", & "My Body Is a Cage" when I put on Neon Bible. Yet, it's probably my favorite album of theirs. Something about it.

"Afterlife" is tearing up into my top 3, or at least top 5. Its a nice little nod to the Neon Biblel era, with the addition of LCD elements as others have stated.

"Wake Up" is a pretty difficult and ambitious song to pull of live. They hardly ever nail it. Still, the energy was there.
