Hell yeah! So happy for them!

I dunno. I'd say The Suburbs would fit nicely mid-LP between 2 fast tracks. Month of may could really be anywhere.

I guess, but it sounds rushed. Rostram usually does a brilliant job with the production, this one's just...meh

Arcade Fire reveal meaning behind 'The Suburbs' album title May 27, NME Arcade Fire have revealed the meaning behind the title of their forthcoming new album 'The Suburbs'. Band members Will and Win Butler spoke on US radio station NPR Music today (May 27), saying that the title for the album, out August 2, was inspired by their upbringing in Houston. "Will and I were born in a really small town in California, on the Nevada border," Win explained. "Maybe 50 people on the side of a mountain. We moved to the suburbs of Houston when we were young. Being a very young child, it's like going to Mars or something. The blast of hot air when you get off the plane at Houston. Just trying to talk about some of the feeling [on the album]." He added: "A lot of my heroes from Bob Dylan to Joe Strummer were suburban kids who had to pretend they were train-hoppers their whole lives. Talking about an experience and not make-believe [is what we're doing on 'The Suburbs']." Speaking about the music on the album, Will said that there were, "Two poles of the album, maybe have a rock'n'roll thing, then more electronics. The album lies between these extremes." Arcade Fire released a double A-side single, 'The Suburbs'/'Month Of May', on 12-inch vinyl today (May 27).

My god the new song is terrible. Thankfully they stick to their original direction! The lyrics are terrible, and the sound is just a wall of noise compared to their crisp, sharp notes of their albums. Holiday video = AMAZING.

Haha once you're 18 it will be all good. Going to JB to buy the new Midnight Juggernauts album today, exited to hear it!

Ha I put mine as double billings because I just love Jet and the Joy Formidable. I'm going for them, too.

And you're seeing Kasabian again!

Woops no. Fixed.

THE DRUMS

I purchased the EP so I got the physical and the digital, which is ace :)

If all goes to plan and I get tix my calendar will look like this: 07.10 The Temper Trap / The Joy Formidable 07.10 Foals 07.10 Surfer Blood 08.10 Frightened Rabbit 08.10 Two Door Cinema Club 08.10 Passion Pit / The Joy Formidable 10.10 Powderfinger / JET 12.10 Jack Johnson 12.10 Muse Got to keep rackin' em up

Nice pickup. It would be great to get a tracklisting of this album to get a general gist of a theme.

Still depressing songs as always, I think they're brilliant.

Yeah I can't imagine too many big artists popping up before then. Who did you have in mind?

Jack Johnson's here in December. I really love his work but I am seriously running out of money. It's $92 for Melb show. Hmm.

Ha there's thousands of live recordings out there on the net. I'd be after some stuff signed!

And then the chorus came in. I just can't like these guys.

Thank god for cleaner sound I was almost going to write this new song off.

Holy Shit are they? Half my family lives in MK I should get my cousins out there stalking!!

Or Oasis, 50% of their live shows were albums #1 and #2

Muse will be totally worth it tho. Just as long as less of "Resistance" is played

Ah yes, Mutha'uka is a musically more appropriate term lol Ha can't fault NME Wukid bring on Aug 2
