You've got to be kidding. Arcade Fire will be forgotten in about two years. Ten and Vs are Pearl Jam's best albums and you're delusional if you think Arcade Fire's shit is better than those albums.

Give me a song by Arcade Fire that is actually FUN. You can't. It's impossible to enjoy yourself while listening to Arcade Fire.

this is quite possibly the most stupidest thing I have ever read on this board.....

Hi Matty Boy - my name is Delusional

somebodyelsessky2020

is someone from arcade fire posting this nonsense or what?

anotherclone

I'm listening to some of their songs on myspace. I don't like how the voices and lyrics are so muted against the music. maybe its just these songs.

any other suggestions what I can listen to of theirs? I'm open to discovering new things.

Strangest Tribe

What I want to know is when did Echo and the Bunnymen change to Arcade Fire.

I like em though... but Black Mirror really really sounds like Ian McCollough

Post ONE SONG that I could really enjoy. And I don't mean have an introspective look at life through horribly whiny singing, I mean a song you can jam out to. Gimme' a Porch. (Oh, and remember it has to be by Arcade Fire. That's the hard part.)

i said it's better than ten, not vs. i dont like ten. the production sounds like shit. i didnt realize it until i listened to the remixes on the greatest hits. but ten sounds as dated and cheesy as a bon jovi record in some places. i dont care for it.

vs. beats anything arcade fire have ever done though. but vs. beats anything most bands will ever do in their entire careers, so...

the ep's not that great though. just get funeral.

Ten forever changed the way I listened to music. Honestly, Neon Bible is doing the same. It is completely brilliant.

this reminds me of a certain thread :rolleyes:

dude.. remember the rules of Pearl Jam uberfanship is to never ever suggest that something the band has done is weak, or can be contested!!

someone called you a prick, and yet all you've suggested is another bands album is as good as Ten.. not better than.. as good as.. as Soulsinging has said.. PJ fans can be pretentious at times.

I love the band and its music but their uberfans are beginning to get on my tits... i loathe their sanctimonious drivel.

You know, I thought Funeral was a pretty good album. Then I saw Arcade Fire at Webster Hall in NYC and they put on an AWESOME show......I revisited the album and really, really liked it.

Neon Bible is just an amazing album in my opinion, there's not a bad song on the disc. I can't stop listening to it, especially songs like "Ocean of Noise" and "Antichrist TV Blues"......just great stuff.

No album is better than Ten.

It really blows me away how stagnant many peoples taste in music is on this board.....all the whining about the Lollapalooza lineup, the comments about the 00's in the Favorite band by decade thread, and now the Arcade Fire bashing.....I really have very little in common with most people on this board (I dont even really like PJ much anymore)

.....I think its time to go hang out on the Decemberists message board with all the other indie music snobs

LONG LIVE GRUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't read any more post. I agree with a good deal Todd76 said.

I like funeral and neon bible a lot. one of my favorite bands now. I still like ten better though but to each their own.

This is my point. Comparable to Ten in that there isn't a bad song on there. How many albums can you say that about? Not many.

THat is funny people said that about them when they released funeral two and a half years ago.

Obviously not forgoten. Maybe they won't be remembered like a media band like U2 and all but they will be remembered like good quality bands like pixies and pavement.
