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

Arcade Fire AND Explosions in the Sky?

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Scurvy!Dreams · « **Reply #144 on:** February 20, 2011, 12:30:08 PM »

One could have a lovely nap before Arcade Fire went on.

SPNKr · « **Reply #145 on:** February 25, 2011, 09:08:56 PM »

Bump because Arcade Fire is awesome and I finally got to vote Funeral being better than Neon Bible but both are awesome which means I have heard both albums already cool.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #146 on:** February 26, 2011, 07:10:46 AM »

Finishing 'getting into' Funeral before I touch Neon Bible.

KevShmev · « **Reply #147 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:00:01 AM »

Happily, a St. Louis date has been added for Thursday, April 21st! Tickets go on sale in a week. Hell yeah!

SPNKr · « **Reply #148 on:** February 26, 2011, 06:14:00 PM »

I have The Suburbs now. Haven't heard it yet. It's a boring Sunday so I might put it on later or tomorrow.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #149 on:** February 26, 2011, 06:16:08 PM »

I know it'll be a huge grower, but all the same, after my first listen of Neon Bible: eh, pretty good.

SPNKr · « **Reply #150 on:** February 27, 2011, 12:10:46 AM »

The Suburbs are on now. It sounds really good too.

Quote

The band pressed each completed song to a 12" lacquer, then recorded it back for the digital master of the album.[11] As a result, the CD and digital versions of the album sound the same as the vinyl

I find that interesting.

So far, I like it more than Neon Bible.

KevShmev · « **Reply #151 on:** February 28, 2011, 12:21:08 AM »

"Deep Blue" is still one of those great sleeper songs that seems to rarely get talked about. Love that tune.

orcus116 · « **Reply #152 on:** February 28, 2011, 01:05:22 AM »

Ok where do I start with this band. Feel free to check my last.fm (click sig) if you feel like.

SPNKr · « **Reply #153 on:** February 28, 2011, 01:54:31 AM »

They only have 3 worthwhile albums, go with Funeral. Their latest album, The Suburbs, I really like. IMO it rivals with Funeral. The new album won a grammy.
I started right from the start, out of my freewill, with their 2003 s/t EP. Hell, that's even some good stuff. Everyone will tell you to go with Funeral though.

I started with the suburbs and loved it. It took a couple of listens though.

Funeral is my favourite out of the three but you can't go wrong with any of their their three albums.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #155 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:02:57 PM »

Yeah, I started with The Suburbs and still find it to be their best. Their discog isn't exactly huge though, so you might as well get it all.

SPNKr · « **Reply #156 on:** February 28, 2011, 09:27:04 PM »

^I got it all, even the Live EP with David Bowie

KevShmev · « **Reply #157 on:** March 04, 2011, 09:21:01 AM »

Three tickets have been bought for the St. Louis show. Hell freaking yeah!

Marvellous G · « **Reply #161 on:** March 06, 2011, 11:19:19 AM »

I'd always enjoyed Funeral a lot, but it just clicked properly today.

Zantera · « **Reply #162 on:** March 17, 2011, 12:14:41 PM »

Been spinning The Suburbs 3-4 times the last 3 days, and this album is fantastic.
Not a single bad song on it.

That is all.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #163 on:** March 17, 2011, 12:29:40 PM »

They should tour the Eastern part of the US where all the cool kids are.

Zantera · « **Reply #166 on:** March 20, 2011, 05:46:47 AM »

Sprawl II is probably my favorite, but this album is so damn good overall.

Empty Room

skydivingninja · « **Reply #171 on:** April 21, 2011, 11:47:46 PM »

I'm still not ughe on rocococo. Love that they eneded the show with something other than Wake UP tough.!

KevShmev · « **Reply #172 on:** April 22, 2011, 08:32:20 AM »

"Sprawl II" appears to be their standard encore closer this year, while "Wake Up" is often the regular set closer. Both worked great in those spots. The entire crowd doing the big chorus harmonies in "Wake Up" was amazing. And I was thrilled that not only were my four favorite songs played (which was predictable, as they always play all of them), but two of them were the last two songs on the whole concert ("Intervention" and "Rebellion (Lies)" being the other two songs). Awesome.

I am still a tad bummed that "Half Light II" wasn't played, but they abandoned that song in the live shows last year for whatever reason, so I wasn't expecting to hear it anyway.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #173 on:** May 08, 2011, 08:28:57 PM »

That is one awesome set.
