I'd say funeral is miles ahead of the others, and they are both much of a muchness. Both have great songs, both have songs that are mediocre. Suburbs has more mediocre songs I'd say, but perhaps the standout songs are a bit better than the best on neon bible.

The 4th album is crucial. I wonder if they will make a much more commercial album like kings of leon did and truly make the bigtime. That would definitely piss off those who got into the band when funeral was released.

I can't see Arcade Fire going overly commercial.

The thing is with bands like Kings Of Leon, The Killers etc... not ony does there music appeal commercially, so does there image. Kings Of Leon are as much teen pin ups as JLS.

Arcade Fire however,

Yeah it won't be on the new album, but I think the point was that if those are the most recent new songs and they aren't very good then maybe they're losing their touch.

For me Funeral has three or four great standout songs and while the rest is still good The Suburbs has a more consistently high level.

I've always really fancied Regine (or however you spell it). I love it when she wears a sparkly dress and sings Sprawl II live.

She looks like a pube-haired lily allen I think.

    • Attended a gig at Piece Hall for the first time on Saturday (Opeth), the music was excellent. Just a couple of points on the organisation & the event itself. - Getting through the gates seemed to take longer than required. I was at the South gate about 30 mins before stated start time and still missed first half of Katatonia. - Coffee stall was serving cold coffee later on. - Lots of the crowd seemed to be more interested in chatting than listening to the music. Doubly annoying when sound levels for Opeth seemed quieter than Paradise Lost, is this usual for the venue due to curfew etc? Luckily there was enough room so I could move close to the front of the crowd and couldn't hear drunken chatter anymore 🙂
    • Tickets will just be sent out via email; going out next Monday 10th August apparently.
    • That's how I'd see it, either or, 3 BST rules her out.
    • Surely the chances of Madonna doing three+ nights at BST and also Glastonbury is pretty low? I know Elton did (2?) nights at BST but it seems like it’s one or the other at this point?   A shame. I think she would be absolutely brilliant - plus, unfortunately, given that she isn’t as able as she was means this could be a now or never situation? 
    • All of these were published in July of their respective year. Appreciate the festival is a little later than normal but it must surely be live in the next 48 hours? The first events start in five days! 🤣
