Not being Eminem is Canada's least significant failure.
 
Gaga's Fame Monster, Eminem's Recovery, and The Suburbs were all in my top albums of last year, so I would've been happy with any of them. However, it was my number one, and I think it's Arcade Fire's best work yet. I am absolutely thrilled they won. And while I loved the performance, I don't think it was the best choice to introduce them to an audience of millions who had never heard of them. I wish they would've done "Ready to Start" first.

Yeah. Personally, I think "Sprawl II" would have been the best choice for the Grammy audience...it doesn't really showcase their usual style, but neither does "Month Of May".
 
I cannot pick out one song by them that I don't love, but Sprawl II is one of their best songs to date, and I think it's one that had a much better chance of convincing a huge portion of the audience that didn't know them to check out their catalog.
 
I don't know. Sometimes Regine has been known to...how do I put this delicately...sound like shit in a live setting. It was probably best that Win take lead vocals for the Grammy performances. Don't get me wrong, I love Bellatrix LeChassagne but, yeah.

I actually thought the Month of May performance was pretty cool. The bicyclists were unnecessary, but other than that I thought it went off pretty well. It had my toes tappin', as the kids used to say.
 
Month of May had a really shitty mix.

I would have done Sprawl II if Regine's vocals were there that day. Best song on the album. Ready to Start was also a good choice.

Really? Admittedly, I've listened to the albums far more than I've watched live performances, but in the ones I have seen, I've always thought she sounded great. I guess I just haven't seen enough yet.
 
So, I'm really the only one here who finds The Suburbs their best album to date? Neon Bible is my personal favorite, but I think the former is their most consistent. Funeral is brilliant and an amazing debut, but I find it the weakest overall. *ducks for cover*
 
I'd say I'm probably:

1. Funeral
2. The Suburbs
3. Neon Bible

But it's close. There are a couple tracks on each album I'm not a fan of.
