dentalplan Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Not big news but they're gonna be releasing some non-music Funeral stuff this weekend to celebrate the anniversary, including some behind the scenes footage and 'rare live performance videos'. A remastered video for Rebellion (Lies) has been brought out too. Time to fill up the bathtub.

HeyPorter Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Got high hopes for a secret set next year, they sounded like they fancied it at G17. Edited September 13, 2019 by HeyPorter a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it arrives next year, it’ll be later than summer for sure. Most of the band have been doing other projects all this year, and there hasn’t been a rumour or sighting regarding studio sessions or previews or anything.

dentalplan Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Performance is a very good thing. The band now being in the same country to record LP6 is even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Saw the Fire came out for Biden the other day and there were loads of people replying saying they'd never listen to them again. Not sure how/why they would think the band would be pro-Trump - they even did that actual anti-Trump protest song with Mavis Staples.

dentalplan Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Absolutely love that. They’ve spoken of their Clash influence for ages but it’s shining thru the hardest here. And I am here for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 It’s okay, but I’m glad that it’s more than likely a stand-alone rather than something from the new album(s). Not really a direction I hope they go further towards though - bit standard/throwaways for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be a bit late on that one. It’s not their magnum opus but I think it’s undeniably ‘Arcade Fire’. I just wish - and I wished this with The War on Drugs too - that they put it out as a single rather than the first taste being a live runthrough.

dentalplan Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hey I know you clicked on this because you thought there was something new. Alas there is not.

I admittedly go through phases of thinking it’s either under or over appreciated in their discography depending on my mood, but mostly it largely signals the beginning of them becoming a bit naff to me. Side 2 is largely pretty great other than the opener (I’ve grown to quite like Porno), but side 1 has some stinkers on it that just irk me on the thing as a full album. Just a few too many shit and half baked ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Not listened to it for a while but I always thought there was a great album lurking somewhere in Reflektor. Unfortunately (for me) it’s too long and as FF says, has too many half-baked under realised songs on it. Cut some of the crap out and we’d be in business.

Chawk Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I like the album overall. Flashbulb Eyes is the worst track they've ever made. Suppersymmetry is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
