Waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve. Have only heard two of the tracks from radio, but I love them. What I've been waiting for ever since hearing The Suburbs.

Is it me or do you people also understand: "You're the one that they used to hate But they fuck you now?" When you're listening to Joan of Arc?

I've listened to it about a dozen times, some of the songs are pure gold and the depth of the production is extraordinary. I wasn't convinced on the first listen as the songs are so dense and not as obviously anthemic as those on the Suburbs. Number one contender for album of the year. I can see this one staying in my car's CD player for the next twelve months.
Also... as I pre-ordered the CD from the band's website I've got a code for the tour pre-sale. They're playing a 3000 capacity near where I work!
Pixies and Arcade Fire a few days apart?? Fuck yes.
(I listened to Neon Bible for the first time in a while today. So fucking good. Intervention destroyed me.)

this album kinda confirms to me that Arcade Fire is one of the most important rock n' roll bands, but they aren't the best rock n' roll band in the world. Love the ambition on this album, but some of the songs are lacking. Steven Hyden did an excellent review that brings up some of the emotions I feel towards this album. It's not a bad as Neon Bible (an album where I probably only listen to 3-4 tracks), but it rarely reaches the highs of their other two albums. I've spent it around 7 times so there is still some digesting to do but this album probably isn't gonna be in my top 5 for best records of the year. www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9894330/arcade-fire-reflektor-review

Been away from here for a long time. 6 pages more than the last time I was on the board :-D
I got the album. Amazing one. I didn't manage to pick one song in particular... except the intro/jidden track, it's a perfect album.
I WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE NOW! I alreday did, but I think the next time will be different... it's like the excitement of seeing a new band...

Due to being a poor student at the moment, I've yet to get the album, but given my birthday is soon I will definitely treat myself.

I think I can give the album a fair assessment after a week worth of spins. This is AF's BHN album, a collection of some of their best songs but some of the tracks go on far too long. Reflektor starts off the album with a fury and may contain the best singing by Regine on any album but after about 5 minutes in I'm ready for it it end. Just a little too repetitive. We Exist and Afterlife are the two highlights of the album for me. Can listen to those two on repeat all day. Joan of Arc and It's Never Over(Oh Orpheus) are easily the next best two songs on the album. Kinda wish It's Never Over was just Regine's song though. The first half of the song where its only her is stronger than where Win takes the song over. Didn't think You Already Know was a very good song on the first few listens but caught myself singing the chorus when I was cleaning the other day. The only real miss on the album for me is Flashbulb Eyes. The only redeeming thing about the song is that its the shortest on the album. Thought Here Comes The Night Time II was just a throw away reprise on the first few listens but now I actually prefer it to the disc 1 version. The string arrangement is a little Beatleesque and I love when that bass kicks in. Right now it's a solid B+ maybe A- for me. Not as good as Funeral or The Suburbs but better than Neon Bible.

Still have no idea if I like this album or not. Needs a few more spins.
