and I thought the gorillaz song would be the shittest Id hear this year
They’ve written loads of good stuff
This is utter dross.
Ha, pretty much the first thing I thought when I heard the chorus was that this ad been written to get an advertising deal.
My controversial album ranking:
Reflektor > The Suburbs > Funeral > Neon Bible
Funeral>Reflektor>The Suburbs>Neon Bible
Sounds about right. And Neon Bible is still a perfectly decent album with a bunch of brilliant songs on it.
To me Funeral is essentially by a different band to the other records. Not because they’ve changed their sound, just that they’ve failed to really capture the essence of what made the band great on that record on any of their other albums. Neon Bible came the closest I guess, using the grandiose and the Gothic to give the illusion of the same degree of urgency. Otherwise they’ve been a solid but not great indie rock band.
Fwiw: Funeral>Neon Bible>The Suburbs>Reflektor
Absolutely. It’s one of those “if it were by any other band” sort of albums.
Fuck the haters
Neon Bible > Funeral > Reflektor > The Suburbs
Funeral > The Suburbs > Neon Bible > Reflektor.
Neon Bible > Funeral > The Suburbs > Reflektor
Neon Bible > Funeral >>>>>>>>>>Reflektor>>>>>>x Infinity>>>>>>Suburbs
I’m done with the Arcade Fires.
Funeral>Neon Bible>Reflektor>>>>>>Suburbs
Was a super-fan back in the day, I’m not so much now- their lyrics have gone to shit, their instrumentation is more pedestrian and their new songs too often would be much improved with editing- but they’re still one of my favourite live bands.
Suburbs>Neon Bible>Reflektor=Funeral
Does the fact that everybody’s ranking is completely different prove that they’re truly a band of note? No? No.
Funeral>Suburbs=Neon Bible>Reflektor
New song is baaaaad btw
The Suburbs > Funeral > Reflektor > Neon Bible
IMO The Suburbs is a masterpiece, Funeral is arguably a more concise and bigger statement but it’s such a dense LP I’m rarely in the mood to hear it. Had a phase where I thought Reflektor was brilliant but ultimately it’s pretty hollow.
