So... how many times do they say "Reflektor" in this track?

Just got out to Amoeba in Hollywood early only to discover you can pre-order the album, with the single, directly from their website. Oof.

Great new song!! I wonder if the single up for pre-sale with the new album is the same as the one sold in records stores?? The picture is black and white online but the one sold in stores appears to be holographic...

Just pre-ordered it from AF site. Very curious to see what these "special" shows are :corn:

I'm guessing its warm up shows like last night up until the albums release.

I knew they would get more "dancy" after everyone seemed to love Sprawl II

The new single is awesome. I really do not want to like these guys.

But I do.

I quite like it, and it was cool hearing Bowie in there, even though it was brief

:thumbup: doesn't really sound like them though

i'm still digging it. Forgot James Murphy produced it, maybe that's why i think it doesn't sound too much like them. Still really haven't watched the video the whole way through though.

I'm liking it. Seems a little unnecessary for the song to be 7.5 mins long, but still good.

South of Seattle

Reminds me of Duran Duran crossed with David Bowie crossed with the Revenge of the Nerds band featuring Gilbert on the PC, Lamar on the mic, and Booger on guitar.

I have a feeling that they really wanted to make a double album and there will multiple songs that are too long. I hope I am wrong.

not a huge fan of the new song, but perhaps it will grow on me

I tried to stay awake fr it, made it to the first song on SNL< Reklecktor and right after that fell asleep. Woke up right after SNL for the special than made it through the first 5 minutes or so then back to sleep again :fp:
I did catch "afterlife" this morning online though :thumbup:

That special was one of the weirdest things I've seen lately. Crazy cameos included Bono, Michael Cera, Rainn Wilson, and others I'm forgetting.

I don't know much about Arcade Fire to know if this 70's Disco/dance crap is part of their previous sound, but I don't understand how a band with that many members would okay that music. To each their own I guess, but it sounded like bad 70's dance music.

That special was just ridiculous. That's art for you.

Me too. Given how god awful the music is though I'm not surprised though. I get that it's art and I respect that, but it's just terrible. The horror!

I can't believe they are this big now because I usually don't like bands that later become popular. Their three released albums are modern masterpieces.

Its not. Its a new sound for them. Probably due to their work in Haiti and immersion in that culture as well as having James Murphy produce the record.
