moving the topic of this band out of some and into this one. is their bio on the label site. funeral is their first album and one of the best of the year. they remind me of a lot of bands (the talking heads, silver mt. zion, and a more serious, more rocking polyphonic spree, to name a few) but manage to have a lovely sound all their own. one of the finest products of the montreal scene. my favourite songs are all of the neighborhoods (tunnels, laika, power out), but i love everything else as well. hurray for great new music (even if it's not electronic). |

it should be noted that they recorded their album at the mythical Hotel 2 Tango, where the godspeed collective records everything they do. i find the atmosphere shows through the album. |

All these nice words made me want to check it out. I'll give my verdict as soon as slsk finish the download. |

They were quite allright, but I got a bit bored of it halfway though. What's lacking is some tunes that really stand out and makes you want to get into the others. Thanks for the tip anywho. |

i listened to it three times in a row today and not got bored of it. the whole thing is real good, every song evolves..you start to think you heard it all and then it moves to higher level...awesome stuff!! |
||||||||
|

|
i've heard a lot about arcade fire lately from all my friends who are into that stuff |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh look theyre on merge |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, their bio made me think they were completely different from what they actually sounded like. |
||||||||
|

merge rocks hot neutral milk hotel action. |

you're thinking of the castanets. |

I've had this one a few days now and have listened to it about 5 times sitting here at the computer. It was nice, but nothing really stood out for me aside from the opening track. This evening around twilight I grabbed by Walkman and giant studio headphones and went for a walk in the city down by the harbor. The sky was just blazing red and this beautiful music just washed all over me. Great record. |

they are suck. i had a ticket to thier 'cd release' show in mtl when it came out. the tickets went quick and i got a lot of grief from hipsters when i happily went to the daedelus/her space holiday show instead. dont be tricked. |

outsider. |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
pffttt... and it only made me thank god that i didnt go when afterwards someone i know had something like this to say about the arcade fire show: "it was easily the best show i have ever been to in my entire life..... actually....it was the best night of my entire life" it was in a church. |

go back to listening to emotionless electronic pap and get out of my real music thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give me a break trust me, give it 6 months, the hype will be over and you, even you, wont care any longer. they will from hip cafe conversations and stereo systems and they will have to do things like to get thier silly listeners talking about them again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, you know shit all about real music. if you want to talk about fading hype then open any thread about an idm artist not on warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey im not some idm/electronic music fanboy, so dont respond to me like i am one. just because i think that they hype that surrounds a lot of these kinds of bands is silly, and get sick of hearing it, doesnt mean im making any sort of statement about what 'real' music is. in any case i listen to less idm (or electronic in general) music then stuff that sounds similar to somthing like the arcade fire. |

i built this thread on rock and roll, and if you don't like it, then fuggin leave. dumbass. |

your thread would have been nothing without our little back-and-forth bit. it would be way down the page. fallen from glory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just like the fading hype surrounding your online persona. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh hype? did i miss it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's how fast it faded. people stopped talking to you and went to an R2D2 concert instead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe faded, |
||||||||

They're pretty shit. |

|

| |||||||||
|
|
victory. the thread "built on rock and roll" falls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They are indeed pretty shit, typically unremarkable mope-rock which I'm sure will be lapped up by the NME, Zane Lowe and other such cretins (optimus prime for instance), not to mention making Pitchfork's number 1 trendy hip album of 2004. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking pitchfork. this is very great: by the way, radiohead (and people reviewing them) are on the recieving end of most of the jokes, and for the record i own every radiohead release i can get my hands on (50+ discs at this point) but just read the review they have there, it is great: So how do I review such an inherently perfect, flawless recording? It would be unfair of me to simply state, "this CD is perfection in the literal sense of the word," as that would not give such a masterpiece the sufficient praise it deserves. Putting this disc into your stereo and listening to it is like having the saints pee liquid gold into your ears. A beautiful, flowing, melodic wall of sound embraces you like the mother you never had because she was a filthy whore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I remember when they first put that up. It's spot on, but then again I also like Radiohead a lot and I do agree with a fair amount of the scores pitchfork give, it's everything else about the site that's so annoying. |
||||||||

unite, brother. |

all you guys really seem to care about are 'hype' and the printed media. yes, you also think they're 'shit', but that seems more like a defensive measure so you don't end up looking like a fool. as the record stands, the arcade fire are the greatest band of all time in this universe and another one far, far away, and will always be the greatest band forever and ever and ever. now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to put the album on in mourning of this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I actually think their music is shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that in relation to the 'music' you make? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill talk to you 6 months from now. by the way, have you hopped on the wolf parade train yet? i hear that shits the greatest band forever and ever. i left when the started playing. |
||||||||
|

ive noticed you really like making the personal attacks when it seems you feel threatened because people dont share your views. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Being close-minded doesn't really make you look cool. |
||||||||

i was going to, but they have the same album with two slightly different covers, and i don't want to get all confused in my excitement for them by spending on it twice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it what's ugly nerds do because they have nothing else to fill in the void of their lives. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it what's ... misplaced contraction? |
||||||||

if you're going on a grammar parade then march over your own posts. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i fuck all capitals and apostrophes. these are scraps that have been left over from a point in time when they were necessary. its just i had trouble figuring out what you were responding to and what you were trying to say. and im still trying to figure out if you are refering to yourself in that post. if so, you shouldnt be so self-depreciating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as it happens i really like this album a lot, and i totally hate radiohead at the same time! :-) |
