Arcade Fire blows huge assballs

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

To all the assholes going on and on about how fanfuckingtastic Arcade Fire is, I've got two words for you:

[censored] YOU.

I just wasted an hour of my life listening to that crap. I could barely stand it any more by the time I was a couple songs in, but I forced my way through the whole thing. I can understand that in a very narrow niche and exact circumstance, this would be proper music, but for general listening, it absolutely blows.

That is all. Good day.

[sfer]

Sweet. My work is done here.

[istewart]

You have zero taste. Album is sweet.

[SossMan]

well, you are clearly not as cool as the rest of us.

edited to make the obligatory "Rocket Scientist" joke, but can't seem to think of one....damn.

i never understood this one either. somehow if he doesn't like the music you like, he has no taste? what if you have no taste? what if there is no such thing as good taste?

[AEKDBet]

Track 4. The rest of the album I won't argue with you... but this one has an edge to it.

[lucas9000]

wrong.

Wtf is Arcade Fire?

I miss a day or so in OOT and end up completely lost. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Don't bother. It sucks.

Rebellions (Lies). The album is a [censored] gift from God if you are an indie rock fan. Otherwise, I could see it being very meh.

Whatever. I'm all over Bloc Party now.

[IndieMatty]

Bloc Party is g00t.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Indie, that Avatar is great man, wow, definitely had me cracking up.

[captZEEbo1]

arcade fire is amazing.

[Six_of_One]

It astonishes me that a seemingly human person is physically capable of formulating an opinion that is so fundamentally wrong, without spontaneously bursting into flames.

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

I thought that's why they called them opinions?

Holy crap, if he doesn't like The Arcade Fire, it's not the crime of the century. Whatever, just let it be.

New band that hipsters are talking about as the next great thing. Last two bands I can recall hipsters going so crazy about were Interpol and Franz Ferdinand. Both I thought were overrated, though I do like FF. I have only heard one Arcade Fire song so far, so I don't have an opinion on them yet.

[Six_of_One]

If you've heard the song that has recently been playing on mainstream radio, then you really haven't heard them at all...the edited-for-radio version is a pale imitation of what is on the album.

Nobody would ever confuse me with a hipster, though.

[MarkL444]

assballs..hahaha

don't hold the fact that hipsters swoon over arcade fire against them. every now and then hipsters are on to something /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'd be willing to bet $100 that I would agree with this post, even though I haven't listened to this music yet. A LOT of people will listen to music cause they think "Its the cool music" to listen to.. ie, its not on the radio, not everyone has heard of it, and it has a different sound.

Funny interview with KidRock "I bought the new Radiohead album, I gave it a try, and you know what? It SUCKED!" But, at the time, the RadioHead album was the cool new album. My friend tried this album for the same reasons.. Bought it without ever listening to a single song.. Guess what he thought of it?? He thought it sucked huge cock.

BeerMoney.

BTW, it has been a long time I've bought a CD from someone I've never hear before and been totally surprised. It's just too easy to hop on the web and listen to free previews or download a free song or two.

A lot of people will characterize people that have different taste in things as having some sort of odd need to be cool.

[IndieMatty]

I've purchased many albums purely based on pitchforks reviews and I have NEVER been dissapointed. Really. But I'm just trying to be cool.


I just wanted to post in this thread and show my avatar.

arcade fire is on the radio, every hipster and their mother has heard of them, and their sound is not all that original (see liars, !!!, the rapture, etc etc etc).

nevertheless i like it. why? because it sounds good to me. unfortunately, it sounds like you've already dismissed them because of this "anti-cool-music-to-listen-to" thing you've got going.

They missed the boat on the new Low CD.

[istewart]

Liking music that you will only find about on pitchfork and that is only cool among hipsters is a lot better than hating music just because it's not on the radio and liking Simple Plan instead.

And no. All Radiohead albums are good.

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

I don't think I'd equate Arcade Fire with any of those bands. These bands are all on my library and I'd have to say they all are much more dance-inclined (granted it is stupid hipster spazzing out dance) than The Arcade Fire. I mean Crown of Love, Haiti, and In The Backseat are nothing close to anything by any of these bands, unless you count something like Open Up Your Heart. But I hate that song.

[IndieMatty]

I haven't read that one, actually the new site design really pisses me off, I havent been reading much. But I think the best thing I ever did was going right to the link and buying You Forgot it In People the day of the Broken Social Scene review, for like 3 weeks, I was the coolest kid on the block!


Actually that's no great accomplishment when you live on the Upper West Side.

i agree completely that those groups are more dance-ish, but i hear some of that in arcade fire. it's like you combine polyphonic spree with those bands and you get arcade fire...or something. i think i've derailed, but my point was that arcade fire's sound isn't anything revolutionary.

[istewart]

Arcade Fire is like a bit of the Rapture, Polyphonic Spree, the Shins, random French lyrics, and something else.
