The fact I currently have it on a higher score than 'Neon Bible' feels like I'm meme rating...so I do feel this is doomed to hit the 3.0 bin sooner rather than later



But...at least the album is short. That has to count for something (an extra .5?)

End of Lightning II really sounds like they've decided to break into a medley of previous highlights from the Arcade Fire canon

I really like half of 'Neon Bible' but the rest is just a bummer for me - definitely still punishing it for not being the follow up I wanted after 'Funeral'

Hell yeah Neek, welcome to the Unconditional II fan club. Trust me, there is PLENTY of room



I initially had a long paragraph chronicling how Arcade Fire's output has seemingly always been as a response to the reception of their last work, but couldn't quite make it fit.



Anyway, stream Western Wind by Carly Rae Jepsen for clear skin

slex anything with "We Don't Deserve Love" has to be at least a 2.5

I guess my "highlights" would be Age of Anxiety I, The Lightning II, and Unconditional II



those are also the only three I can imagine having any staying power

I thought Age of Anxiety II would be most people's favourite hmmm, losing my touch



Whoever said 'WE' is a slowed down 'Cattails' by Big Thief is spot on...so following so soon after = redundant

@cormano



think people REALLY want them to be good again. on paper, this is better than Everything Now and much more safe. I do not think time will be kind to this album and history WILL vindicate this review lol

'Age of Anxiety 2, first Empire song and both Lightning songs are good'



accurate take, I'd say 'Lookout Kid' is about as good too...but nothing is much above just 'good'
