Antichrist Television Blues is repetitive in my view as much as Lemon is to U2. I think they are but there is a flow and wonderful storytelling to both songs that keeps things interesting.
With ATB, there is actually alot of variation with his vocals and music that match the right feeling conveyed with the lyrics.
I think the song is actually quite smart.
I think this album sounds like the best of Springsteen, Dylan and U2 combined. Like I said before, these songs are more like hymns that spill out spiritual frustration.
I get a lot of Joshua Tree feel with this in the metaphoric style of writing on Neon Bible.
I grew up in Tennessee, the belt buckle of the bible belt. Since Win Butler grew up in Texas, which is one of the big "holes in the belt", I think he did a great job of conjuring alot of images and feelings of the influence of religion in the southeast.
