    Right on, SVRD! While these songs on album don't register with me, I'm certain they'll transition to a live setting very well! Have fun!

    Thank you!!!! I'm digging the new songs but it seems like not too many people enjoy it so far. AF is in my top 5 bands ever so I'm pumped.

    Listened to the new album a couple times and not liking it at all.  Peter Pan and Chemistry are just flat out awful songs....easily the worst songs they've ever made.  Hopefully some of these songs will translate better in concert.  Still one of my favorite bands, but this feels like a big miss.

    Sick show in Vancouver last night!
    Only bummer is they didn’t play Keep the Car Running.
    Great dance party and I like how they left the stage through the audience with everyone singing and swaying to Wake Up.
    Like them much more after last night that girl can really wail on drums!

    How was the in-the-round aspect of the show?

    Not bad I was 2 row on the rail so didn’t effect me much.
    This band had a very fresh look on the concert experience.Nice to see considering a lot of bands just kind of phone it in these days eg.Kings of Leon lol

    I thought the boxing ring to start was a little weird and pretentious but fuck it Arcade Fire!

    I don't know about insincere, but I think it's a bit of a mindless good time. To me, they play fun music, but their music (and their concert experience) makes me smile but doesn't speak to my soul the way other bands like Pearl Jam do.

    This bands live show and the vibe that is created by them made me a true believer.
    Before I saw them live they were and band with a bunch of good songs.
    They are a little pretentious but that’s part of the fun and appeal I think.

    It’s great that dirt balls are getting called out. It’s brutal when it’s a band you love so much. Fuck you Win.

    I mean cheating on his wife and sleeping with fans is scum behavior but seems they were all consenting adults.  It’s not a great look but I’m not a big fan of gotcha reporting like this either.  I go back and forth on it
