The Arcade Fire

I bought Funeral ages ago, but never really listened to it, then the other day my friend played me Neighborhood #1 and I went home and listened to the album several times through. Anyway, it's an amazing album, just wondering if there are any other bands that are kinda like them? or if any of their other stuff is woth picking up (I'm not even sure if they have other stuff)

 

Before Funeral, they've made this self-titled EP with 7 songs on it. They used to sell it on their gigs, but now it's been remastered and available in stores and on the net. I've recently bought it, and - though it's not as brilliant as Funeral - it's absolutely worth buying. There's also a Christmas album, which is rather funny, but I haven't heard everything of that.

But however, The Arcade Fire is an amazing band, I love their lyrics, melodies, vocals... And they're really original, that's why I can't name bands that sound like them.

 

they're so good! theyve become one of my favourite bands. Arcade is one of the few *perfect* albums I've ever heard.

 

buy everthing by them that you can get your hands on....

and I totally agree....not one bad song

 

i feel myself going through phases with them...when i first heard funeral, i thought it was so incredible, then i got tired of it...then i started to really only like the first 5 songs, then got tired of the album again...then i started listening to the whole album again and loved it...it never stops



but in the end, they are an amazing band!

 

I love them i listened to funeral, then i found another song called Brazil and its my favorite, I also really like Modest mouse, cept that float on song, that got old lol

 

I like em a lot. Funeral seems to be very relevant to teenage life, though i hate to admit it but i do get bored towards the end. But i do love the album.

Is that you Midgley or should i say puddin'?

 

No, I'm a midget wearing a bikini. Is that you Cranny, or should i say........ RAVERBOY!
tsk, tsk, tsk.

On another note, I also like Modest Mouse but they seem angrier than The Arcade Fire. It makes a big difference in when I enjoy each band.

 

angry and sad lol at least its not emo!

 

mmmmmmmmm, Arcade Fire. So much goodness.
I love and worship them - I'm loving Une Annee Sans Lumiere at the moment, and Rebellion (Lies) and yeah, just everything of thiers that I hear.

 

I heard them perform "Wake Up" (I think it was) and I thought it was great, so I bought their album and haven't been disappointed.

As for Modest Mouse, I can't stand "Float On" but I really like some other songs like The World At Large, Ocean Breathes Salty and Bury Me With It.

 

Dude, get The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse. It's SO much better than Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

 

Will do.

(Oh and the above song was suppose to be Rebellion, not Wake Up)

 

Wake Up is great live....

I also jsut recently came across a song that was released on the Neighborhood #1 single called "My Buddy".....its very good...I highly recommend it.

 

i love the arcade fire. will try and get that modest mouse album as well!

 

Maybe the Broken Social Scene?

 

i liked them alot when i first heard them then i lost interest but i still listen to the song Rebellion(lies), i LOVE it.

 

don'thatebitch.


No one was saying a damn thing about emo, but sure enough, someone's going to diss on it.


Anywyas, The Arcade Fire are pretty damn good, at least from what I've heard of them, and that isn't much, but yeah...

 

Broken Social Scene is amazing, but they aren't really all that similar to The Arcade Fire.
