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.

    • Stadium gig/s 100% 2027.   As for the offer - dunno what to think. The source is very well placed and, to me, the timing checks out - I'm basing that on the stadium gigs coming after an arena tour... coming after a new record... following a record that propelled them to the next level.   As I keep saying with any info I've shared for Glastonbury next year, though, none of it feels nailed to me.    I assume that they're doing a half decent job of keeping things quiet (still early, I guess). It's all little bits of stuff doing the rounds in the industry. There's none of it that I'd hang my hat on right now. The bits I've shared - I thought they were worth sharing, given the source. Chat about Madonna, the Fontaines snippet, chat about Fender.    A gun to my head right now - Madonna would still be my number one bet. More of a gut feeling, but I feel like the recent doubt may be the festival and/or her people trying to calm the noise a bit after the Graham Norton slip, rather than a u-turn.
    • Have settlers people started receiving their car park passes? I was sure I had bought one, but cant find a receipt for it and nothing through the post yet.
    • @northernangel Are Wolf Alice not in the conversation? They just did a sold out Finsbury Park to 45,000 people, if they're ever gonna get the push it's now.
