e: Wheeeelp (based on post below) I'm not getting the vitriol against Arcade Fire. I've seen it before on here even in GBS. It's just a band. They didn't do sex pest stuff as far as we know. They didn't proclaim they're the best. They didn't trash-talk Sufjan Stevens or Joanna Newsom. They didn't make a string of inspid records that got overly promoted. They didn't influence others to the degree everyone sounded like Arcade Fire. They just made some albums. Like I said I don't really listen to them but I don't get it.

The first three arcade fire albums are great, then they fell off. I haven't really listened to them since the harassment stuff came out.

Put Your Money on Me is one of my favorite Arcade Fire songs but I loathe the rest of that album. If anything has come out since then I haven't tried it.

I didn't care at all for the last one, felt totally forgettable to me. The previous two had a few songs on each that were good.

Automata 10 Pack posted:Oh my god, that Reverend Kristin Micheal Hayter “SAVED!” album. I thought her previous album (“Sinner Get Ready, from her other name”) was great, but to me this is a perfect album. The line between deranged work of genius and unlistenable noise is a very fine one, but damned if she doesn't nail it. This was unsettling, hosed up, gorgeous, and challenging, and I think it's one of the best albums of the year.

 With a very few celebrities it's a tad bit complicated. Like one who I know but won't name because this isn't the thread for it. The woman who said he abused power dynamics wasn't even trying to get him charged or sue him. He apologized and said something like 'I showed up to our date in a rented Camry. We met on Bumble. This was before I had a big special. And I begged with puppy dog eyes for her to come back to my place and spend the night. It really didn't hit me that she could have thought I was the one in control. Nobody ever told me about enthusiastic consent.' And I think a slight majority believed him. But I can most certainly see a Montréal indie rock collective frontman playing up how important he is for plausibly intoxicated undergrads (aka children in all but legal terms).

Nightmare Cinema posted:Reflektor fucks tho In that it fumbles about awkwardly and doesn’t quite know what to do with itself and in the end, one party is satisfied and the other is thinking “is that it?” Reflektor is when they became the self parody that they are today. The songs are overly long, and most of them could be cut in half and lose nothing. The mix sounds like it was done on a set of broken speakers and is incredibly blown out and tiresome to listen to. The song lyrics started to become a bad parody of Bono at his most self important at times and it felt like Win was trying so hard to save the world through his songs. Reflektor the song is good, and it’s only flaw is the god awful mix, but most other songs could really use an editor. And then Everything Now got embarrassing - it literally sounds like corporate music. It’s a song you can use for advertisements and nobody would blink an eye. https://youtu.be/AIxY_Y9TGWI?si=qMP3dkYuf4J5muPy

Sprawl 2 and The Suburbs are the best arcade fire songs but they should definitely call it a day even independent of win butler being a creepo. Their last two albums have been terrible and the one before that was uneven at best

SXMU is poo poo, they don't change it up enough and seem to truly phone it in most of the time. I also think all the DJs are bad.

ive tried to get into that genre a bunch of times but extremely few songs every stick i like yard act and think their videos are cool, and fontaines dc have a few songs that work pretty well for me (also the frontman has a solo album this year that's at least very different backing music), but i just keep thinking about how this stuff doesn't hold a candle to what Shopping was doing a decade ago

I love them, but only live. I just don't like the sound on their albums. BUT, on their newest song, maybe this new album will be the one that I take in better.
