Week 6 predictions and chat

I feel better about my opinion now.

First disk, for the most part, didn't have the sound that I expect from Arcade Fire. That resonance that makes them so good.

[Certain]

I've listened through four times, including one lights-out, eyes-closed session. I feel pretty good about where I stand on it right now. Obviously, time will tell. I'm relistening to Neon Bible right now. It's more consistent and probably better. I like guitars sometimes.

[Split]

lol. Someone recommend a rapper at a similar point in their career to Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa or Joey Bada$$

Neon Bible suffered from the album after the masterpiece backlash.



Top 5 AF song. It's a great album, almost through and through. Funeral is unfuckwitable. Picking the best after that is simply your favorite definition of great.

I prefer the 'Arcade Fire' version of No Cars Go, though.

[Certain]

"No Cars Go" is great, but I actually think The Suburbs channels that sound more. It's the more consistent album. It might even be more consistent than Funeral.

[Zen]

You guys go real in depth on Arcade Fire.

[Mike Wrecka]

imagine how dumb I feel having never even heard of them haha

[PancakeBrah]

I heard 'Arcade Fire's version of it first and it was the song that made me actually think the hype was legitimate. It took me awhile to like Arcade Fire, and now that I do they're probably my favorite modern band, unless Vampire Weekend makes another album like 'Vampires'.

Saying Suburbs is more consistent than Funeral is like saying you like Pearl Jam more than Nirvana. Yeah, maybe. But....c'mon.

Just listened to neon bible, or perhaps only part of it
Eyo, @PancakeBrah.
This may sound nutso.. but I swear the most peaceful feeling of tranquility came over me as I listened, and visualized the neon and city lights flying past me at phenol velocity. Insane, right?

Yo.. I'm gonna need that playlist. Sry it didn't work last time. But wow at these songs you produce. Its a whole nother world of listening, and emotion. Fuck me to death

I downloaded that album, and don't skip songs often when they come up on shuffle.

[Certain]

"No Cars Go" was my first Arcade Fire taste because I only listened to rap and The Beatles in high school. But after liking that and Neon Bible, I bought Funeral and was blown away.

Aside: As good as Win's performance is on Reflektor, I miss Regine. "In the Backseat" is a top 10 Arcade Fire track.

[Geno]

So its funeral, by arcade fire?
Is that an album title? And if so.. do cd stores have it.. or is this one of those order online only type of albums

My favorite track off Funeral. My nigga.

My top ten of Arcade Fire songs consists of like 5 or 6 'Funeral' songs, and they switch depending on my mood, age, and listening history. But 'In the Backseat' is so obvious with it's message but so fucking earnest without equivocation. A song about life, a perfect metaphor. Tired, but revived due to the heartfelt. Plus, that fucking aural bliss of the oo-OOOO. You know what I mean. That release.

@Genocide yeah, the album title is Funeral. Give it a few listens. It's arguably a Top 10 All Time album. Just give it some time. Any normal CD store will have it, it's not hard to find.

Until then.. gonna peep youtube. Later folks.

And @symetrik,your too quick for me, guy. Take it easy.

[King Ra.]

Arcade Fire.... I usually listen to hip hop and r&b but all this talk has convinced me to give it a go.
