Arcade Fire 2: Arcade Harder

[PhilsFan]

Haiti is one of their best, I'll go that far. I don't know about the absolute best. I don't have a definitive best. That's in the mix.

This had me on the floor laughing.

Imo, it would've been a huge mistake to play Sprawl II if their goal is to get mainstream acclaim. Nothing screams indie as much as high-pitched female vocals.

Somewhere, Mariah Carey just snorted buttermilk out of her nose.

it's actually the high pitched vocals that i dislike... i do like the lyrics, just not the vocals.

[PhilsFan]

On that particular song, or just Regine's vocals in general?

I see your point, but we're talking about two different things. I'm referring to indie chick vocals, and I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about.

...this. I don't dislike Sprawl II at all, but the vocals prevent me from calling it one of the best songs of 2010.

Eh... I will go with this song more than others, but add that I prefer when she's singing backup over lead.

[corianderstem]

I actually agree with you on that point, but somehow Sprawl II is the exception. Just a great song.

[u2popmofo]

I just drove home through a blizzard that had a knocked the power out, and sang "Power Out" while I drove. Well, I sang the three or four lines I could remember and then stopped.

[lazarus]

If you were stuck in traffic, you could have sung No Cars Go!!

AMIRITE??

[u2popmofo]

I laika the sound of that!

[lazarus]

If you happened to see Lance's Mom as you were driving you could have segued right into In The Backseat.

All, however, are superb albums. I'll say this: We Used to Wait and Sprawl II might be the two best songs of 2010.

Agreed to all. I thought Arcade Fire missed a big opportunity at the Grammys by not playing Sprawl II live. In a setting like that, you have to break out your best song.
