T-Mouse Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) The Suburbs Funeral Neon bible Reflektor Everything Now Really enjoyed EN but the top 2 albums specifically are two of the most perfect records that have ever been recorded. I cannot fault either. But the burbs continues to smash me right in the feels every time I play it.

I hope the next album can just be an album and not be a whole gimmicky campaign. I get that acts of their size have all this money to promote their albums in weird and wonderful ways, but that all doesn't mean diddly squat when the songs just aren't very good, and about half of EN just seemed like they were hammering the whole 'concept' a little too much at the expense of good songwriting. Or maybe they, like many great bands before them, have just lost it. They've created one of the greatest albums of the 21st century, as well as two pretty fantastic albums and one good (but bloated) album before this one so can't be too mad if they've run out of steam. Even though they seem to have missed exactly why people weren't happy with EN, maybe it'll spur them on to do better next time 'round, and if not... ah well, they had a good run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I think this attitude that views the whole Everything Now thing as a gimmick rather than a conceptual project might be what's stopping people from appreciating it as what it is.

The whole concept is pretty weak though, and it's execution lame. I'm all for a concept album if that concept is carried out well, but the whole Everything Now Corp thing fell pretty flat and wasn't at all engrossing, and seemed most apparent in the shit songs on the album to boot. I know their earlier albums have all had a kind of concept surrounding them but I just think with this one they let it overshadow the music. Or, as I say, maybe they're just not that good anymore. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, my tickets for London 11th haven't arrived yet either. If you log in to Ticketmaster, it says they are being sent out in batches at the moment and not to worry until 5 days before.

Hugh Jass Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Had an email from Wembley Arena offering the snazzy executive seats for the price of regular seats. Still not that bothered about going. Absolutely loved Castlefield last year but not really arsed with this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with me here, this is a pretty deep reading, but I reckon the theme in its broadest sense was reflections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Albums 1- 4; lyrical themes are largely personal. EN; theme is everybody else is a sheep and Win is a god for sussing out the matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad reading, the lyrical themes of Arcade Fire have always rested on tensions between personal pain and very very 'big' social stuff. And that hasn't stopped just because they sing in third person sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
