The Suburbs

I'm going to start my own thread about this, but if anyone in Philly or DC area wants to see them I have an extra ticket to the Arcade Fire show at the Mann Center in Philadelphia on Monday night.

It's a hell of a ticket, too. 6th row, center. Face value, which I believe is around $60-70, but would have to check.

PM me if you're interested! If you're in the DC or Baltimore area, I'm driving, so you could hitch a ride...

Can't wait for next week. Haven't listened to anything but Ready to Start yet!

This album is SO DAMN GOOD. I love their first two albums, especially Neon Bible but this has to be the album of the year to date. So pumped to see them Weds. night at MSG.

Absolutely agree!

The Album didn't impress me at first but it is a "classic grower", after about 10 listens you're totally caught up and can't live without it!

city with no children and we used to wait and amazing... this is bearing on the best arcade fire album for me.

I will be buying this first thing tomm. morning! Have heard maybe half the album already and every song has been great. From all the reviews I have read from around the world it sounds like they have made a classic album people will be talking about for a long, long time?! When you look around the landscape for young bands that have it all, this is the band that can carry the torch and let people know Rock 'n' Roll is not DEAD yet!

bought the album last night at their boston show, and it's an instant classic. go see the band before you die, too. amazing.

Yeah, I went to the Boston show too. Amazing live band. Didn't realize the new album was for sale at the pavilion. Would have been great to listen to on my way back to Maine. I'll grab it tomorrow though!

Very pissed about C3 scheduling my 2 favorite bands for the same time this weekend at Lollerpalooza. Soundgarden is my pick, but this album is so so excellent. It's making me doubt myself. Half Light II is my favorite.

PJStatTracker

Just got back from the show in Philly and I am blown away...I've seen hundreds of bands in my time, and these guys are hands down the best live band I've ever seen.

Go see them.

Amazon has it for $4 today only.

jervin007

Agreed. In Boston they played 7-8 songs off the suburbs, which I had not heard one note from. It's definitely different to hear almost the whole album live before the cd. Makes listening to the cd today that much cooler knowing how well they perform these songs live. Easily one of the best live shows I have attended as well. Highly recommend to see them live. They won't be playing mid-sized venues (outside of the MSG shows this tour) much longer. Go see them!!

I went to the Boston show as well and it was AMAZING! One of the best bands I've seen live.

I suggest everyone buy the album on Amazon MP3. It's only $3.99!

One of their shows will be streaming live this Thursday right?

I just started listening to the NPR stream of the album. Sounds good, but I'm at work so unfortunately the volume has to be low. I'll be picking this up as soon as I get out of work! I didn't realize this was coming out today!

I'm so pissed that I couldn't go

well after seeing them last night i was blown away! Had no idea how they were live. I think this might be my #1 album this year Definitely top 5 though!

Also I would have to say fav song is "City With No Children" which unfortunately they did not play :(

As I've stated before, best live band in the world. And what amazes me most is that I've seen them play in small venues, medium sized venues, and huge festivals/ampitheater shows, and it never matters. It is always a magical, transcendent experience. Can't wait for West Coast dates to be announced. San Francisco loves them.

I just listened to the new album for the first time... "Suburban War" is the first song to hit me on the first listen in a while. Good stuff the entire album is.

Better Dan

I wasn't too crazy about it as a whole on my first two listens but its really growing on me.

PJStatTracker

saw this today, thought it was pretty funny...

this might be their best record and most def. the best record i have heard in a very, very long time. I love half light 1 and half light 2 but whole record is great.

A week after it's release and already back on page 4......

I like the album but still a little underwhelmed. I'm seeing them live tonight maybe it will help. I know they are great live.

I finally got around to picking this up last weekend and it is absolutely incredible. It is currently on a constant rotation with American Slang, which is also incredible by the way. Month of May, Modern Man, Rococo, Ready to Start, and Sprawl II are all so awesome.

keeponrockin

So. Fucking. Good.

We Used to Wait=Great Live
