I'm absolutely obsessed with the two halflight songs. Surprised that almost no one commented on them after the initial leak.

^they are really great! Honestly I didn't really pay much attention to them at first, but like you I really love the songs. To me for some reason they are very nostalgic sounding (especially halflight II)

 

...though i'm mostly obsessed with Sprawl II

Yeah, almost a retro feel. They utilize chord changes and melodies throughout the album that you wouldn't normally expect from arcade fire, so it's that much more exciting to hear them pull it off so well.

...though i'm mostly obsessed with Sprawl II

on top of the halflight's, my highest played songs have been Empty Room and Sprawl II.

When I listened to the album for the first time my favorite song was Half Light I, but now it's Sprawl II, I love everything about that song :heart: Probably I'll have another favorite song next month :uhoh:

off to the Arcade Fire show now! :D :dance:
