Title: Arcade Fire Post by: Derby Greg on December 19, 2006, 01:36:47 PM Searched for a thread on these guys but couldn't see one (don't flame me)
Totally deserving I feel. Sonically so much going on. The album 'Funeral' came out a couple of years back now but its one I keep going back to. Best tracks - Wake Up, Rebellion (Lies) New album out next year. Kinda sound like.........um I dont really know. Something new and different is what I think they sound like. Wholeheartedly recommended. Show your love/hate for them here! -Greg Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: gilld1 on December 21, 2006, 01:04:03 PM I love the Arcade Fire. Great lyrics and great music. They have an earlier EP that shows where they were heading with Funeral. Very underappreciated band.
Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: mdttkk on December 21, 2006, 07:46:12 PM this is just my musical taste.. but i find all their songs very annoying, although not nearly as annoying as mariah carey where i want to shoot myself if i hear it.
Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: Bill 213 on December 21, 2006, 11:46:22 PM I love em....can't wait for a new album. I first heard about them from a blurb written by David Bowie proclaiming them as his favorite band out there. So I checked them out and they definitely have some interesting music. I still need to get that EP.
Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: Kujo on December 22, 2006, 11:26:26 PM The E.P. isn't that great in my opinion, but it does show the potential that busted out in "Funeral".
There is a video on youtube of them performing Wake Up with David Bowie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Ff8dd5iV0 Looking forward to see what direction their next cd takes Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: Bill 213 on April 03, 2007, 09:31:22 PM So what's everyone think of "Neon Bible" so far? It is really growing on me as of late...maybe not as forward as Funeral, but definitely wider. I just scored sold out tickets to the 5/9 performance at Radio City Music Hall for the High Line Festival which is going to be curated by Mr. David Bowie himself. I'm pretty sure he'll make a guest appearance and play a few tunes with them so I'm pretty damned stoked.
Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: hellfirecan on April 03, 2007, 10:22:19 PM Pretentious rock at it's worst. I love and endorse most Canadian music and artists, but I do not like these guys at all.

After the phenomenal Funeral just haven't been able to get into the newer stuff at all. Worth persevering? -Greg Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: maynard on April 04, 2007, 04:08:11 PM I downloaded Funeral and I'm enjoying it. I like multi layered music. I like 'Haiti' those french lines are cool.
They are pretentious in a good way, I believe Chinese Democracy will be very similar on layers. Title: Re: Arcade Fire Post by: Kujo on April 07, 2007, 03:33:47 PM Neon Bible is my favorite release so far this year. It is good from start to finish. Antichrist Television Blues is their best song to date.
