Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Spinless:
Hey Darling, I gotta ask. Is Us Kids Know your favourite arcade fire output too?
The original 'No Cars Go' was perfect.
The re-recorded version made me want to puke. There's this one part of the song where my eyes sting and I feel a sharp stabbing pain in my heart and all my joints lock up and shit happens I'd rather not talk about.
"No cars GOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOAAAAAWWOOOAAAAAH!"
I gave Neon Bible about 3 full listens before deciding to listen to some other band. But the mainstream press is calling it the best album of the year. The artic monkeys apparently had the best album EVER. So this new arcade fire album must be great, I've just missed something.
Yeah I'm skeptical. Still.
But I kinda like all you guys. So I'm gonna give this album a second chance to grow on me. Otherwise I'll go back to that old small sounding EP. The one that reminded me of being a child.
Eveisdawning? My dad is pretty interested in all the music I like, he just can't find the time to listen to them properly. I think that he liked the singles from the last cursive album. He checked them out after he heard I was going to see them. He thought funeral was 'Okay'. He thought the EP was 'fun, lots of potential'. He called the new arcade fire stuff 'Nothing special, only okay'.
Then again, my dad likes Keane. He doesn't know crap.

I remember when I heard the opening stanza of Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels) after buying the Funeral album just after it came out. Gods it gave me a shiver.....you know, that excited shiver of anticipation?
Neon Bible didnt give me that.
I am not gonna say anymore that it is a better or worse album...I think it is a great piece of work, among the best I have seen in a while, and I do love it.
As for all the talk about "No Cars Go," well, they had to rework it to fit with the rest of the album. Love it or hate it, if they would have used the EP version, it wouldnt have fit.
JediBendu:
I still say:
Flipbooks=Best part of the album.
Actually, the flipbooks are in a close competition with "Keep The Car Running" but I think the flipbooks might be winning.
Unless y'know, we're judging on musical merit. Than the flipbook just has that little fwooshy clicky paper sound, so "Keep The Car Running" might still win.
On a serious note, for me, I actually think that the newest Modest Mouse that's coming out is better than "Neon Bible." Which might just classify me as "crazy" but I'm just putting it out there.
asyluman:
Anyone think the start of No Cars Go sounds exactly like the Start of Rec and Play by I'm From Barcelona?

Indeed good sir, I'd say it does. In all seriousness though, the new MM is pretty good. It's just not Arcade Fire. And Dashboard makes me cringe every time I hear it. Literally cringe.
