Title: The new Arcade Fire is pretty good
Post by: Diablos on January 28, 2007, 02:46:03 PM: "Black Waves/Bad Vibrations" is a fucking weird song. But in a cool way. Also, I was surprised to hear "No Cars Go" revived for this album.

Pretentious as this may sound, Black Waves sounds and feels like existing in a bad dream but being content with it. I <3 it

I'm describing the sound and overall mood/tone of the song, what they are conveying -- it's what it reminds me of. It's a pretty abstract kind of thing. It doesn't remind me of cutting. You've lost me with your brilliant logic and reason once more.

PS - Cutting is for tards and I feel bad for people who do it.

I like the new album and it may indeed actually be better than Funeral, but let's just say the "WOW" factor isn't there this time. That first album really came out of nowhere.

::)

I listen because I think TAF is a good band.

TVC: I dunno, I think Funeral is still better. Like you said, it came out of nowhere. But not only did it come out of nowhere, it also had a lot of quality tracks. Neon Bible does, too... but I think the tracks on Funeral are a lot stronger.
