Perhaps. It seems to me like he's saying that if Arcade Fire is trying to do [thing Arcade Fire isn't trying to do], then it's a failure.

Yeah, I'd agree with that, and so have most people I've talked to about it.

Remarkably, this popular and acclaimed band has people who like it.

¡Ellos tienen sueño de ser Mumford & Sons!

Yeah, this is how I feel. I think Neon Bible is my favorite, but if you'd asked six months ago I'd probably have had a different answer.

I liked her album. It's some cool instrumental violin stuff. Basically exactly what you'd expect.

It's weird how Sarah's not in any of the promotional stuff for this album (including the picture above!) although she's apparently totally still in the band.

I forget who said it (I think it it was in the comments on this site), but in 2007 people were upset when they didn't release "Funeral II: More Angsty", and people are always going to keep complaining as long as they don't release an album that's exactly like Funeral.

This is why your browser has a porn mode.

I'm really upset that she was relegated to backing vocals on this album.

The Suburbs, on the other hand, has a really excellent cover.

Why is that guy so mad? Did Arcade Fire steal his basketball?

I love that the album that was sold as Arcade Fire's most dance-oriented record also ended up being the most experimental and least accessible.

At first the obvious standout for me was Afterlife, which (like the second-to-last song on all of Arcade Fire's albums) is the catchiest, but as I've listened to it more I think that Porno might be my favorite song on the album. It's gorgeous.

Yeah, my impression on first listen was that every song was two minutes longer than I expected it to be, but they really don't feel like six-minute songs.

With Hostages getting an F, The Blacklist really needs to step up its game.

Yeah, that was probably a little flippant. I don't want the show to just do what I want (that would be pandering), but I certainly reserve the right to dislike what the show feels like it wants to do, and the back half of Season 3 seemed to me to betray a real lack of actual interest in the characters at the expense…
