Although I agree with the core of what you’re saying — that this album represents the moment when a style of music (in this case, the grandiose, the-more-instruments-the-better sound a lot of people, myself included, have dug over the past decade) ceases to be new or fresh — saying that “indie” and “rock and roll” are over is bullshit.
There have been great forward-looking “indie” and “rock and roll” albums this year.
This record isn’t bad. At all. It’s totally acceptable. I mean, people are still making 60s pastiche albums in 2010 which are plenty enjoyable. No one expects The Suburbs to be some kinda sea-change in Music As We Know It. It’s totally likely that this album will look better 10 years down the road when a lot of us aren’t tired of this sound.
Also, Nazis are overplayed. Find a new stock insult.
I’ve fallen out of love with Arcade Fire like people do with long-term partners.
Which is to say that they’re still performing adequately, but the spark is no longer there.
Win, Regine, et al — it’s me not you.
Yeah, this guy is a troll even if he doesn’t realize it himself.
That said, I do think it’s a little odd to downvote me when I wasn’t saying anything negative about the album. I was just kinda sad I’m not able to enjoy this album as much as other people seem to be.
Tastes change, and there’s no arguing with taste.
