Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
It makes perfect sense if you don't "totally love" Funeral, you actually dislike it. X&Y at least makes me want to listen to it again, in one way or another.
I don't like his vocals either.
Secondly, and I'm sure you're all going to be shocked to read this from me, but to understand what Arcade Fire is all about one must see them live.

Granted the setting probably wasn't the best - they looked rather out of place with their black-themed decor on a bright sunny day - but I just didn't get much sense of stage presence from them despite the sheer amount of people onstage.
Vomit is not the best song on Father, Son, Holy Ghost; Alex is.
One of my favourites as well. I like the fourth song on that album a bit more though."Narc" is my favourite Interpol song.

I don't quite get the hype over Neil Young's Freedom. Bless him, he's one of my favorite artists and he can do whatever, generally to great success, but this album goes everywhere and nowhere. I like Rockin' In The Free World electric like everyone else does, but acoustically the pace doesn't change enough to make it worth a slot. It's doesn't have that broken-yet-determined intensity of My My, Hey Hey. Someday is cheesy garbage with awful production, and then there's the random On Broadway cover...lol...well, it's fun. Most significantly of all is the fact that nothing really sticks with me except for RITFW and Wrecking Ball. And Eldorado is good, but it's got nothing on other slow-burners like Cortez The Killer.
Maybe it'll grow on me over time. For now it's probably my least favorite highly lauded NY album. Which actually doesn't say much against it since I love most every album of his that I've heard.
