Okay I actually like the album but you can't expect me to believe there is a single person on earth who thinks Chemistry is a good song.

This album makes Reflektor look like a masterpiece

*a song that

I'm up to Creature Comfort so far and it's not terrible except the lyrics are really basic.

Put Your Money On Me is good and desu Creature Comfort would be in their top 10 if the lyrics weren't such cringe.

>>74207888
When Everything Now cam out, I had some good hopes, then after a few listens, grew out of it, waiting for the album.
Saw them live at a festival a couple of weeks ago. Was drunk, but still thought that was an "OK" concert. Not as powerful as the previous ones though.
Now I listened to the album earlier today and I had just one thought:

"Well shit, that's embarassing."

Regine's voice on Creature Comfort is particularly annoying.

>I'M GONNA HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY

How can the same band who made

>Tunnels
>Crown of Love
>Haiti
>Sprawl I/II
>Half Light I/II
>Anarchist Television Blues
>No Cars Go
>Reflektor
>Joan of Arc
>Afterlife

Make the track "Chemistry"

I honestly don't know what went so wrong, or how so much talent could be just completely and utterly wasted on...whatever the fuck that track, or this album is.

Hopefully they break up soon or ditch this retarded nostalgic angle they've been taking. I thought it failed on Reflektor but looking back maybe they did a pretty good job after all.

HOT TAKE: The Suburbs (2010) is their most cohesive and solid album

The album could have been saved If they had a good rhythm section. This must ne the grooveless dance music i have ever listened

Broken Social Scene is the better canadian rock band desu

>>74212051
HOT TAKE OMG

>>74212064
BSS's discography by itself is better, and then on top of that their members are a part of a ton of other great bands

I really liked the singles except for Signs of Life. I'm scared of listening now

>>74212085

also their new release is so much better than this

creature comfort and we dont deserve love are p good

>>74212153
haven't listened to Everything Now yet but I loved Hug of Thunder

>>74212051
if by 'cohesive and solid' you mean 'boring and filled with filler' then I agree

>>74212064

It's Stars desu

By a lot

creature comfort is ok. the majority of this album is horrible. and i loved reflektor

>>74212196

don't listen to Everything Now just listen to Hug of Thunder again

>>74212085
With Hug of Thunder I listened to all of their old stuff again and fell in love with them all over again. Really, they're only weak one might be Forgiveness Rock Record, but all you have to do to improve it greatly is stop listening after Sentimental Xs.

>>74207888

Just finished listening to the album, and PYMOM and we don't deserve love redeemed the album. They were both so genuine and emotional that they made the rest of the album seem like a cathartic, juvenile outburst, like getting super pissed off and breaking down after.

When I was listening to chemistry and infinite content I was like "what is this shit," but the two last songs really frame the whole album and give it a certain humanity that wasn't really present in reflektor

>>74207888
Yeah, they totally lost me on this one. They're preaching instead of story telling now.

Who thought repeating "Girls kill themselves because they don't like how they look" over and over would make a good song? and Regina's charming lack of talent doesn't hold up to their new ABBA disco production style.

>>74212064
Pretty much. It only took people 15 years to realize the truth.

>>74212691

I felt the latter half of reflektor was that humanity. The first was just a party and the second half is where things got serious. It was what lay under the facade in my opinion.

Everything Now is a decent catchy pop song.

We Don't Deserve Love sounds like something off of Funeral, and I enjoyed it. Not a great song but still good.

Creature Comfort was okay. Cringey lyrics but I like the instrumentation and production.

Every other song is the worst material Arcade Fire has ever put out. Into the trash it goes.

>>74212064
Everyone knows this
Funeral and YFIIP are equal but Broken Social Scene's self-titled is better than both

>>74212196
Hug of Thunder was good but I dunno how it'll pan out at the end of the year. It's like half really great tracks and half tracks that I have literally zero opinion on
I guess I need to listen to it again

This would be an 8/10 EP. It's just the 5ish songs in the middle that are trash and bring down the rest of the album.

Except for the fact that it totally is.
It's too bad their whole discography is bad, though.

>>74213906
They've been adding unnecessary filler since Suburbs. Everything after Half Light I/II was filler until Sprawl. On Reflektor, You Already Know and Joan of Arc could have been removed.

Listened to this whole album whilst browsing dvds in HMV the other day. Thought it was pretty good, very catchy.

Not working for me. They're nice songs but they never get interesting or better.

Every single song Arcade Fire song is just one step way from not being mediocre, and NEVER takes the step. Always 90% of the way to a good song.

>>74215306
I wonder do any of the members sigh everytime she suggests something, judging by her interviews she seems annoying as fuck, sort of reminds of yoko Ono

>>74212051
It's a 10/10 anon. Everybody knows this

>>74213160
what an unique opinion you have right there. I'm glad you shared your totally individual view on this album with us

There are interesting lyrical moments, but the problem for me was that the music itself was completely boring. The vocal melodies were overwhelmingly bland. The chord progressions (outside of the instances where they were referencing other arcade fire song, like that reference to The Suburbs in Infinite_Content), were fucking snoozers.

>>74215716
What a unique response, it really contributes to the thread.

>>74207888
Creature Comfort and Everything Blue are up to scratch dece Arcade Fire songs

Everything else dogshit

Did you think that the line "Daddy, how come you're never around?" was a callback to the title track of The Suburbs "I want a daughter while I'm still young". Given the themes of the latter cross over considerably and after a loss of innocence, the protagonist's growing apathy leads him towards caring little of his family and more of his career?

Good: Everything Now, Creature Comfort, Electric Blue, Put Your Money on Me, We Don't Deserve Love

Bad: Everything else.

The worst in Arcade Fire's discography. 5/10 at best. 1st = Funeral. 2nd = The Suburbs. 3rd = Reflektor. 4th = Neon Bible. 5th = Everything Now.

Chemistry wasnt written by Arcade Fire, it was actually a song that was supposed to be on Ariel Pink's new album as an ironic B side filler

>>74215716
I guess we could all just jump in here and meme it up instead.

>>74215965
source?

>>74212051
I disagree, but it's my favorite.

>>74212590
If your comparing it to the Zelda series Funeral should be Zelda I (masterpiece), Neon Bible should be Zelda II (still fucking amazing) and the rest is Reddit garbage.

>>74216110
Zelda is a terrible comparison as they're all pretty much the same game rebooted over and over. Also Zelda 2 was never good.

>>74216284
Nah man it's pretty good.

This album starts out pretty good, takes a hard dive in quality in the middle, and finishes strong. Could be worse.

>>74207888
I actually unironically love Peter Pan

I unironically love Chemistry. Fight me.

I don't get why people like Put Your Money on Me. The lyrics.. ugh. It's a mess.

Creature Comfort, Peter Pan and the title track are easily better.

the title track sucks. the NA NA NA part is absolutely unbearable

>>74217290
Kek, it's absically an ABBA song

>>74217263
Those are my 3 favorite songs. They're still not good though.

>>74217987
The album and that track were reviewed by two different people.

so ive given this a listen

i think the album starts and ends strong. everything now (the song) grew on me a lot since its release and creature comfort is pretty catchy minus the lacklustre lyrics. put your money on me is a great tune and i like we dont deserve love as a closer. i like how the album starts and ends with a reprise.

unfortunately, everything in-between is a pile of hot steaming garbage. its like 80's music if it was played with kids toys

>>74214773

>>74210793

Literally what does this mean

>>74212090
i was this way too. lol don't listen to it dude.

Peter Pan and Chemistry are probably the fucking worst Arcade Fire songs I've ever heard

I'm noticing a trend this year for musicians to be really lazy with their music because they didn't like Trump. I'm probably imagining it but it just feels like this album is such boring dogshit because they're pouting.

>>74218788
i heard a reviewer say this almsot exact same thing. what's so bad about peter pan? I thought it was one of the best on the album desu senpai not that the bar is that high though lololol

>>74218815

I think its them both being played one into the other, that's what makes them especially shitty. It's like reggae or something and they stick out in the album like facial tumors.

>>74218788
I fucking love Peter Pan. Chemistry, however, can go straight in the fucking trash.

>>74218938
Same here.
Peter Pan is the biggest pleb filter of the year.
Chemistry is the ultimate patrish filter.

>>74207888

>>74214773
I'm baffled as well, it's utterly boring

Everything Now, Creature Comfort and Peter Pan are the best songs. The whole album is garbage, though. And this is coming from an Arcade Fire fan. I'd rather listen to Reflektor.

The only achievement this album makes is that it really makes me appreciate Reflektor more, as mediocre as that album is.

>>74219172
It's also the only song composed entirely by Win by himself. I think that says something about the album as a whole, especially considering the larger presence of Regine on this record.

>>74221977
this is kind of true
when I think back on arcade fire, I mostly just get an overwhelming sense of nostalgia for my adolescent years growing up listening to each of their albums. I probably didn't even like funeral when I first listened to it as much as my mind wants me to believe.

>this is kind of true
not on this occasion it isn't

Listened to it today, kinda doubting if i should see them live in September now. But everything now is basically just a worse version of the suburbs (hell it even has the extra parts) so not a good start. Signs Of Life is a step up and also pretty good. Creature Comfort has a good beat but lyrics are eh.

Peter Pan starts off alright (reminds me of the old version of Identikit by Radiohead) but starts to drag a bit, Chemistry is fucking awful and downright one of their worst songs. Infinite Content feels more like song sketches instead of full songs. Electric Blue im mixed on, the beat sounds like something from F-Zero GX but her voice sometimes sounds sloppy.

However Good God Damn (Reminds me of The Black Keys a bit) , Put Your Money On Me, and especially We Don't Deserve Love actually manage to make this album not be a complete dumpster fire.

TLDR: Worst Arcade Fire album, Somewhat ok album in general

I have no idea what the fuck just happened here.
Peter Pan and We Don't Deserve Love are good, I guess, and Creature Comfort is somewhat fun, but then there's absolute garbage like Chemistry. It's inconceivable to think they weren't purposely writing the worst song they could.
