Who the fuck are you trying to make fun of there?

Disappointment of the year for me.

awesome album. definitely agree with what you say about the length though. all in all, fantastic review.

Fucking amazing album. I love this band like one of my children.

I believe Modern Man will be a big hit for these guys. Perfect radio fodder.

Quote:

"Half Life II," is synth-heavy and bass-driven

Never played it. The first was pretty good though. Haha you might want to fix that.

Still, I love this album. It makes me want to move far, far away.

Call me crazy, but I just can't see No Cars Go as a closing track. My Body is a Cage is perfect where it is, imo.

I've been and remain...unable to see the allure of this band. But glad to see them successful.

I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Horrid mistake on my part, so thank you for the quick copy-editing.

This. Seriously, bands grow. I know it's a terrible thing.

Awesome record. I agree that the repetition of Suburbs can really get old quick. Thanks for recommending Plants and Animals. Arcade shall remain on my "bands that I should see once in my life" list for now

This album seriously rocked me. Best arcade fire album to date. Great review.

The arrangements alone for these songs are praise worthy... So much talent.

epic album is epic

great review

but i do enjoy how long it is, its not over 70 minutes but definitely over 60, sure its lengthy and they probably could have left out at least one song like oh i don't know modern man, not that its bad but its nothing special
