The Arcade Fire

Does anyone else listen to to them?

Right now I own Funeral and love it.

I've listened to one of their songs a while ago and it was alright, but I've heard a lot of good things about them so I might buy their album

12-31-2005, 09:44 PM

They got rave reviews, some saying they are the best indie band right now and I enjoyed a few songs (like Tunnel), but I just couldn't get into them like others. I don't know why :?

I like alot of their songs, they are a very good band in my opinion.

They're good, but not AMAZING, like everyone made Funeral out to be. A few decent radio hits, some nice strong songs on the album, but nothing more than that.

I wouldn't say that Plans is their worst album, I think You Can Play These Songs With Chords is definelty worse than Plans.

You Can PLay These Songs with Chords would only be the worst if Plans had come out at the same time as the prior album. Having it come out later and not really doing much at all definitely makes it the worst imo.

Arcade Fire = Awesome
You Can Play These Songs With Chords = Definately the worst

But really, is Plans THAT bad? There are some good songs. Granted its not Transatlanticism or We have the Facts..., but still, its not terrible.

My main problem with Plans is, after they get popular and go mainstream-ish, they do exactly one of the reasons I stick with indie rock. Plans has no changes, it just sounds the same. My opinion is highly bias though as I really don't like Death Cab a whole lot because the music just isn't all that good for me (Singer rules though)

I agree, Plans isn't a good album but it still is an alright album and not as bad as the majority of people say it is.

I agree, Plans did go main stream. Why is the "mainstream" so distructive? Really. Other indie bands kick ass, damn it
