Same here. People misconstrue my enthusiasm for hyperbole, but I'm really just that genuinely excited and in love with most music.



I thought about bumping this to a 3.7 because after One More Light, that seems to be my rating for shitty pop albums that I actually enjoy.

I feel like liking this album is similar to Nick from Freaks and Geeks getting into disco in the last couple of episodes. You know it's not you, but you have to try it and see if you love it. And everyone in the group was like dude wtf is wrong with you.

Disco isn't for everyone I guess ?

Please don't compare this to Freaks and Geeks



That's a pretty good comparison, but still don't

The rating drop is revenge for no one ever actually listening to more than five songs from 'Reflektor' in one sitting anymore.



Call it deadly spillover

I love Reflektor and can listen to the whole thing in one sitting much easier than I can with this album.

Rating drop is because this is shitty and the definition of half-assed. Simple as that. I feel like I’m guilty of overrating things and I can’t see anything over a 2.5 for this at maximum from someone who even likes this

Ranked/Rated:



1. Put Your Money on Me [3/5] (still a badly written song in that it gives up all its good ideas in the first 90 seconds and then has nowhere to progress leading to the dreaded 'chuck Régine in there, see how she fares'. She does bad. Still easily the best thing here though).



2. Infinite_Content [3/5] (Did you hear the one about the major indie act who released an album where the second best track was 1:42 in length and sounded like an above average Wilco B-Side? Yikes).



3. We Don't Deserve Love [2.5/5] (production over melody (a pattern has been detected no. 1), only an ok song, interesting 'sounds'. Régine's bit sounds overly twee and annoying (a pattern has been detected no. 2)



4. Infinite Content [2.5/5] (wow, the heavy version of this song ALSO sounds a bit like Wilco :/ Err...)



5. Electric Blue [2.5/5] (or more accurately 'MGMT/5'. Remember them? No, no one does).



6. Good God Damn [2.5/5] (I actually don't hate this one, something about Win's vocals have some personality. Still not great, but passable).



7. Everything Now (contd) [2/5] (It's ok as a slow motion curtain closer, bland I guess).



8. Creature Comfort [2/5] (at least it sort of sounds a little like previous victories...even if this song itself does nothing too impressive. The Régine bit I quite like on this one).



9. Signs of Life [1.5/5] (now we enter really bad material, what is this 'whoooooOOOP' thing on the end of sentences Win is trying on this album. It flat out sucks. This sounds like a disco Z-Side, it's like humanity learnt no new song writing tricks in the last fifty years).



10. Everything Now [1/5] (or Abba/5 to be more precise. It gets a bonus .5 on the rating for not actually being Abba. That's it. Backing vox so want this to be a Bowie number, their 'Young Americans' but it end up like a horrible Abba homage, it's gross).



11. Peter Pan [0.5/5] (faux reggae monstrosity rhyming 'be your Peter Pan' with 'take my hand' and such like. Another melody vacuum, loads of inappropriate instrumental additions, it's a shocker....but there's something even worse here).



12. Chemisty [0.5/5] (more chalk-white skanking, a return of the 'whooooOOOOOP', dance rock that's impossible to dance to, they may have written this as a tribute to Prince I'm thinking but dear Lord this is worse than even the worst of Prince...and that's bad. Hilariously signs off with a triumphant mother of all 'whhhOOOOOP's that makes me laugh, like a final plop n' splash in the toilet bowl. Satisfying, but you don't want to come in here for a few minutes. I did a smelly doo-doo)

Based on my track ratings should I drop this to a 1.5 overall?

It's amusing how 'Peter Pan' holds the mantle of Worst Arcade Fire Song for mere seconds until the next track starts.
