It seems every album of theirs, I only really fall in love with two tracks. On their debut it was Tunnels and Wake Up, and on Neon Bible it was Intervention and Keep the Car Running. So, I look forward to loving the shit out of two more Arcade Fire songs soon, and feeling rather "meh" about the rest of it.

Not too sure how I feel about 'Month of May' yet, but I'm liking 'The Suburbs'

I'm surprised, I like both these songs. They've done a fabulous job of getting me excited about the new album.

I like both a ton. Month of May starts off just a bit weakly but has that really dark, kinda spooky upswell at the end which is enough to make it a cool song all on its own I think. Suburbs got a great sound to it, much more stripped down and more ragged sounding than most of the stuff on Neon Bible which felt way too shiny and polished throughout especially compared with the rawness of Funeral. I definitely cannot wait for this album to come out, probably more excited for this than I have been for anything else this year.
