I'll be honest, I don't get the Arcade Fire fascination. Radio One have been pushing them constantly for the last year or two.
Have they? :S
It's really hard to explain why they're so amazing.
But a big problem is ... a lot of people are only just hearing them and wondering what the big thing is about 'The Suburbs'. But for me, The Suburbs is more of a concept album, where the songs blur into each other and take you on a story for an hour.
However, if you listen to Funeral or Neon Bible, they are certain tracks that have an extreme wow factor.
The other thing is, live, they are a completely different animal. Some songs, for example, Ready to Start and Laika, completely come alive and they get into you and give you goosebumps.
Haha. It's so hard to explain, but honestly, if you saw them live you'd know what I mean! They create an unbelievable sound.
