May 10, 201115 yr I´m currently really addicted to their music :D I'm really looking forward to see them the 29th of August!
May 10, 201115 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTwMhUKrjgU]YouTube - Arcade Fire with Cyndi Lauper - Sprawl II (at New Orleans Jazz Festival 2011) | Part 4 of 4[/ame] i only found 4 songs from the performance.
May 12, 201115 yr Yay! :awesome: I'm going to Arcade Fire concert in August! :awesome: I'm very excited.
May 23, 201115 yr of course I catch the last 10 seconds of the song edit: I'll just wait until It comes online to listen to
May 23, 201115 yr you can listen to the songs here http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/05/check-out-arcade-fire-culture-war-speaking-in-tongues/
May 23, 201115 yr "Speaking in Tongues" is a nice song, though I can see why it was left off the album, especially since some people already criticize The Suburbs' length. Didn't think David Byrne added too much. "Culture War" is really awesome, though. Already listened to it 3 times and going back for more.
May 23, 201115 yr Scratch that, I heard Speaking In Tongues as well now. And I actually think it sounds better that Culture War. Although neither of them really impressed me. Good not great, I guess.
May 23, 201115 yr Yeah, I find usually b-sides and outtakes are nothing to wet your pants over. Ideas that were cool but never fully took off. I also can't see either of these making their way into their live shows.
May 24, 201115 yr Much of the same of the album for me. First two albums were cracking because of the wonderful layers and beautiful sound, combined with some actual song-writing. Now it's all basic stuff, hardly inventive or imaginative, and the vocals are starting to sound weary and uninspiring without the right backdrop. They are going to have to find that something again or the kids can have them.

May 24, 201115 yr I don't know. Thought the second album was a bit contrived at times. Bit too much too soon IMO Quite possibly. I do prefer the first. I think the second album still had some good song writing though, which is why I was still very much interested in their work. I have zero expectation for their future work, which gives them plenty of room to spring a surprise on me. I don't think they will though. I certainly don't think they'll be able to muster more than two good songs an album from now on.
May 26, 201115 yr This. I'm really just bummed by the new stuff, don't like it at all :/ I'll just go back to jamming to Neon Bible... Yeah, try to remember the good times. They might not be dead yet, I saw them twitching in the last minute and a bit of the new album.
