Well, I think Intervention is pretty awesome. But neither are good enough for their next album to match Funeral. What do you guys think? TBH I don't see the next album keeping up the quality, which is a shame. Still, Intervention is very good indeed. I know probably neither of these will be album tracks.

The intervention mp3 link isn't working.

I think cold wind is pretty good, mabye not as much as stuff from funeral, but whatever :-)

_grace_:
what i don't understand is why The Arcade Fire aren't more widely known and acknowledged- none of my friends have heard of them. could this just be because of my location (most isolated city in the world or something like that)?

Coolhanderik:
Yeah the intervention mp3 link isn't working for me, but cold wind was pretty good.

Yeah it might be were you're located, most of my friends atleast have heard of The Arcade Fire.

I don't really see what the big deal is with the Arcade Fire.  I have Funeral, and while I think it's alright, there were much better albums that came out last year.  I think people are so caught up in this sort of new band revival of these avant-garde influences (I.e. interpol/joy division (which I never understood), Arcade Fire/talking heads (again...aside from maybe two tracks I don't really see it) that bands like this end up getting hyperbolized, to the point where they can't possibly live up to the hype.

Although I haven't seen them live yet, and I heard that makes a big difference in evaluating them.
