^Look who's a hipster now!

AF is really good and I've only heard the EP so far. In due time I'll have Funeral on. Will update later on :tup

This.  When you start smileing over Neutral Milk Hotel and Animal Collective THEN you can start to worry about stupid shit like that.  Just enjoy good music.

It has nothing to do with smileing over any music and everything to do with buying into a lifestyle.

I was joking.  But smileing over that music seems to go hand in hand with hipster culture :P.  Or at least a certain image board's music section.

AC is on another planet. I can't get into it. Aeroplane is a fantastic album though.

The only thing that bothered me was how I could barely hear Regine's vocals. But I agree, Sprawl II would have been better :)
Not really. Regine can't sing it live.

If you think the EP is really good then you're going to have your mind blown by the actually good albums.


Edit: Just managed to watch the video of the band at the Grammys. What an awesome performance of Month of May. Their reaction to the win is priceless. :D

Good lord, I've gone from being totally apathetic to this band to singing along with "The Suburbs" in one day.

I like The Suburbs a lot but I'm not as shocked as others that it won... I mean, really popular yet still obscure enough to be trendy indie-tinged rock is something I'd expect to win a grammy. Just sayin'.

Well, shit. Funeral is great. Quite a soundscape happening. I need more concentration on the next listen though.

I've listened to Funeral a couple of times and I think I like The Suburbs a bit better. Win's voice kinda grates on me on some Funeral songs.

I've still got SO much more listening to do for all their albums. I feel like I've hardly scratched the surface.

Good music is good music, peeps, regardless of fan bases, genres, etc.  And Arcade Fire is quite obviously good music.  Really good music, in fact. :)

Anyone saw the Kanye West tweet about Arcade Fire winning the Grammy? I thought it was pretty cool.

Arcade Fire is playing Bonnaroo this year.  Yippee.  Now if they could please announce some more U.S. dates, that would be super.  Given that their album debuted at number 1 here and they just won the Grammy for Album of the Year, I'd say we deserve a real tour, not just a few random dates like last fall.

Last night a big radio station here was going to play that whole album non-stop... and I forgot about it. Now I have to check them out.

I love Animal Collective but I can't get into NMH yet. I'm halfway to douchebaggery.  :lol

I've only heard one Animal Collective album, and I hated it. Just completely, utterly, viciously hated it. Everytime I heard someone talk about how good it was, I tried listening again. And that made me hate it even more.

I have Animal Collective's last album, and the songs tend to be either really, really good, or not good at all.  "My Girls" has one of the most awesome and insanely catchy choruses I have ever heard, though.

Pretty much this.

I'm digging The Suburbs more and more with each listen.

I adore all three Arcade Fire albums but I think The Suburbs is the best, and I am glad it has gotten the respect it deserves.
And yes, "My Girls" from Animal Collective is insanely catchy. I just started listening to them a few months ago, and so far, my favorite song is Safer, which I think a lot of prog rockers would appreciate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rvPX8UlQ78

I can't say that The Suburbs is better than Funeral, but I still love it to death, and probably like it a bit more than Neon Bible (which is damn good, as well).

I think they've gotten better with every album, though Funeral was excellent to begin with.

Listened to Neon Bible, and nothing jumped out at me right away.  Definitely need to give it another listen though.
