Don't get me wrong, the production values are much better on this album, but I greatly considered their past lack of production values to be a value in itself, and an intentionally crafted one at that. It may sound pretty, but nothing on this album compares to the angry, dirty, and disconcerting vocals of Neighborhood #2 (Laika). IMHO |

Meh, I really liked the "living room" sound you speak of. It made everything seem so much more raw and radiant. Their new material, while still good, seems to be a bit tame by comparison which is somewhat humorous when you consider that this entire album's theme is the taming of a generation. How can they sing about "modern kids" with no soul or fire to back up their pretentious facade, and then go and tame and water down their music? |

Don't get me wrong, I think Arcade Fire are great, but these lyrics seem a tad hypocritical to me. Here's why: Using an obscure reference to an overly ornate 18th century art style as a metaphor for pretentious hipster kids...seems a bit pretentious and hipster-esque, in and of itself. Good job on doing what you're dissing, Arcade Fire. |
