Revolverwin Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The album is great and I'm loving it. The only thing that I still can't understand until now is the inclusion of the hidden track. But overall it's a pretty album with fresh sound and danceable beat. Worth the wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Does it really matter that you understand it? Why does silence or ambience need a justification? Personally I'm lukewarm on the album. Musically I'm just bored by it, but I'll probs give it one more chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I thought the hidden track was meant to go between Side 1 and Side 2. That's they way it was ordered in the album preview that the band play officially on YouTube last week after the album leaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It's like their Revolution 9 or A Bad Note (by Outkast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 No, it's just a reflektion. I don't see any of the pretentiousness Jack Bauer is speaking of. Just listen to the album and see for yourself. I wouldn't say pretentiousness, i just think it's a very punk rock attitude towards things. Like "Who cares what you guys want we're gonna do what we like and what we think is fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have to sleep but if someone wants to watch it the LA rooftop gig starts in less than 2h and you can watch it here if it works for you. http://www.musicexperiment.com/ Chris Martin's probably there fangirling/dying of envy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares though, reflektor is amazing either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I don't even know what you mean by that. Who cares though, reflektor is amazing either way. As in there is virtually no experimentation in punk rock (unless you're talking about some sub-strand of it) so it's unfair to compare a band who might actually be trying new things regardless of critical acclaim and what everybody wants (though I doubt that point in itself anyway). And the spirit of that genre (or at least the part you are referring to) only really mattered in its origins when it was new. Now everybody is aware of it. That's not to say it is devoid of meaning, but going punk rock is hardly sticking it to anybody anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Haha, i can't keep watching them play the same songs over and over. This is overkill. I'll just stick to the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeddingDom Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 After listening to Reflektor like 5 times I can say that it's one of their best albums! (better than The Suburbs, in my opinion). My top 5: 1. Afterlife 2. Normal Person 3. It's Never Over (Oh Orpheus) 4. Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice) 5. Joan Of Arc Wooh, I love Arcade Fire! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschall Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well that explains why I generally dislike Arcade Fire. Fair enough. Reflektor, ironically, is the album where Arcade Fire takes themselves the least seriously. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
