[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;14275837]Arcade Fire - [I]Neon Bible[/I]

still awesome, but I have no idea how they're gonna follow it. Both this and [i]Funeral[/i] sound like the kind of huge, grand statement album that a band's only supposed to make once, but they made it twice, so upping the ante will probably be too difficult. The only thing they can do now is an acoustic album or something.[/QUOTE]How about Electronica a la Kid A?

I didn't think they could do anything great after [I]Funeral[/I] and they proved me wrong.

The organ sound on the album is really good. Generally the production is. It has a sort of mushy, dense sound in comparison to [I]Funeral [/I]and it seems to work really well.

They'll probably lean more towards post-rock. I can hear a lot of that influence in some of the guitar parts, like in "No Cars Go" and such. Definitely not straight-up stuff, but their will be an influence there. Or they'll go Bright Eyes and make more stripped down stuff after getting to grandiose for their own good.

so one wonders where he could find this new arcade fire. or one wonders if one could upload it for one on one mailing list.

Does anyone know if the version of No Cars Go on Neon Bible is the same as the one on the early EP?

I haven't listened to the Neon Bible version yet, but the EP version ruled.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;14275937]the [I]Neon Bible[/I] version is a lot better. The production is better of course, it's more confident, louder, more spirited, etc. Listen to it.[/QUOTE]Meh, I'll probably just wait for the album to officially release.

I'm not big on leaks, namely because I suck at sendspace etc.

Murs - [i]The End of the Beginning[/i]

There's some really good stuff on this. A lot of dull tracks too.

I don't see the big deal about [I]Neon Bible[/I].

I'll put it on and see if I disagree.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;14276047]it's good.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it is a solid indie album.

But is there really anything on it that makes it special?

I thought [I]Funeral [/I]was a special record when I first heard it but as time went on it just revealed itself to be a typical indie statement behind a few bells and whistles. [I]Neon Bible[/I] felt like that the first time I heard it.

Funeral really isn't an album that is special or unique in it's instrumentation or songwriting, but for me everything seems to work in just the right way to make me feel something.

I don't really listen to it as much as I used to though. Rarely, even more so now.

Arcade Fire - [I]Neon Bible[/I]

Just listened to this for the first time and it's alright. The music just seems really over dramatic.

Fun.

i haven't listened to it yet even though i downloaded it a couple days ago, but i'd rather have overly dramatic music than music that wasn't dramatic enough.

Arve Henriksen - [i]Strjon[/i]
Another excellent release from Henriksen. He's been progressing considerably with each. This one is characterized by his strong inclusion of the darker electronics/production from Helge Sten. While this is definitely not post-rock, fans of it should seek Henriksen out for his atmosphere and grandiose arc.

Sounds interesting. Is [i]Strjon[/i] a good album to start with?

Actually - I think the record to start with would be [i]Chiaroscuro[/i]. Mind-blowing record, hope you enjoy it.
