Arcade Fire

[CHRLY]

arcadefire man knows how to make us all feel jealous. 

 

For the record:

1) Funeral

2) Neon Bible

3) The Suburbs

4) Reflektor disc 2

5) EP

6) Reflektor disc 1

 

I know Reflektor is one album, but I split it up so I could get the EP in there to prove I'm a true fan

[evilduck]

I always forget about the EP. It's got Headlights Look Like Diamonds though, so it automatically goes above Suburbs and Reflektor.

Funeral

Reflektor

The Suburbs

Neon Bible

+1

I had Headlights on the brain this morning funnily enough! All the:

The countryside's deserted
There's no one on the farms
The suburbs all are sleeping
The earthquakes set off car alarms

stuff...

This video of Regine accepting her honorary doctorate made me smile on this otherwise shitty day. 

On the subject of ranking albums, my mind changed again after listening to Neon Bible today for the first time in ages

1. Funeral (has to be since I had the artwork branded on me forever)

2. Neon Bible

3. The Suburbs

4. Reflektor

Listened to Reflector again for the first time since G14.

I've been being too generous to it.

I tried the album a few times and just could not get into it. Absolute mediocrity.

We have a winner.

In other words, on a huge downhill curve.

1. The Suburbs

2. Funeral

3. Neon Bible

4. Reflektor

Very close but Suburbs just edges it over funeral, it has too many bangers to not be top: sprawl ii, half light ii, deep blue, modern man etc.

Funeral

Reflektor

Neon Bible

The Suburbs

Close between Reflektor and Neon Bible, but think that Reflektor has some of the best music they've ever written on there even if it could have put together a bit better. Though for a band trying to go in a different direction and try something new, it's a fantastic effort. The Suburbs, while great, sounds too much like them trying to sound like  Arcade Fire without offering much new.

Arcade Fire was the worst crowd i've been surrounded by at the Pyramid for a headliner.

Kanye was easily the most restless crowd I've seen at the Pyramid, he really lost the casual interest in the middle section of his set.

[Noeliam]

Having relistened to Neon Bible, this is my new ranking.

Funeral (no doubt about it)

Reflektor CD 2

Neon Bible

The Suburbs

Reflektor CD 1

 

The Suburbs is a great album though, and I like some songs on Reflektor 1 (Reflektor, Joan of Arc, Here Comes The Night Time I). CD 2 is ace with 6 great songs.

Yeah but Tunnels, Power Out, Rebellion, Wake Up,  In The Backseat though...

How are you all even managing to even rank AF's albums in order?
Am I the only one who views this as an impossible task?
The order of all 4 constantly changes for me.

I'm the same. Funeral is always top but the other 3 are completely interchangeable depending on my mood. 

[TomViolence]

When do we think the new album will drop? In time for the summer shows?

Hopefully, maybe late summer. INMusic festival is in early June and website says "Arcade Fire will take the main stage at INmusic and preview their highly anticipated fifth studio album"

[Simpo]

Sounds about right. Will said spring, but that was a while ago, and things inevitably drift back.

[TomViolence]

Nice! Hopefully we get a track from it around April/May!

[Tommy101]

Do you think there will be many UK dates next year? I've recently introduced them to my parents and would love to take them to see AF but would rather avoid IOW if I can.

I imagine they will do a couple of warm up shows here before IOW and then an arena tour towards the end of next year. If the Reflektor tour is anything to go by though, there won't be that many dates.

Arcade Fire now also confirmed for Rock Werchter on Thursday June 29th...

Radiohead, Linkin Park and System of a Down being the other 3 headliners...

Tbh, RH I don't care for and LP I wouldn't really want now. AF I've seen them and that's done so for me FF, SOAD and I'd see Blink.
