I'm not following the hype here, but I do look forward to listening to the album when it comes out. I don't give AF nearly enough spins on the ol' iPhone, but I do like them.
Listening to Here Comes the Night Time. Need more listens, but it's def AF's artistic style.
Can't wait for the release, I just don't have enough time to follow the build up.

Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the ressurector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the ressurector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's a Reflektor
It's just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?

I thought the lyric was "Thought you were praying to the resurrector?" |

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down you head inside
Because the lights don't work
Yeah nothing works but you don't mind
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
And missionaries
They tell us we will be left behind
Been left behind
A thousand times, a thousand times
If you want to be righteous
If you want to be righteous, get in line
Because here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Look out! Here comes the night time
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Look out! Here comes the night time!
Say, heaven's a place
Yeah, heaven's a place and they know where it is
Do you know where it is?
It's behind the gate, they won't let you in
When they hear the beat, coming from the street, they lock the door
If there's no music up in heaven, then what's it for?
When I hear the beat, my spirit's on like a live-wire
A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire
It starts in your feet, then it goes to your head
If your feet can't feel it, then the rules are dead
And if you're the judge, what is our crime?
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night!
Here comes the night!
Here comes the night, the night, the night, time!
Now the preachers they talk
If you're looking for Hell, just try looking inside
Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time
When you look in the sky, just try looking inside
God knows what you may find
When you look in the sky, just try looking inside
God knows what you may find
Here comes the night time

New Rolling Stones article: www.rollingstone.com/music/news/arcade-fires-punk-funk-odyssey-20131008Two years ago, toward the end of Arcade Fire's world tour behind their smash, Album of the Year-winning The Suburbs, they needed a change. They traveled to earthquake-devastated Haiti, where singer Régine Chassagne's parents grew up, visiting hospitals and playing a show in the remote village of Cange. "It was life-changing," says Chassagne's husband, frontman Win Butler. The next year, they returned for Port-au-Prince's annual Carnival. "There's people dressed up as slaves with chains and black motor oil all over their faces," says Butler. "There's big fire-breathing dragons that shoot real fire at the crowd, and everyone is trying to hide. Wearing a mask and dancing, I felt less of a break between the spirit and the body. It really makes you feel like a hack being in a rock band."
The trips sparked what would become Reflektor, Arcade Fire's sweaty, epic double disc of a fourth album. By this summer, they had written 60-plus songs over more than two years in studios and makeshift spaces in Montreal, New York, Louisiana and Jamaica. Reflektor spikes the band's classic coliseum-shaking hymns with dub reggae, Clash-style punk-funk rhythms and Eighties synth bounce. Imagery from Carnival runs through the record, especially on the spooky "Here Comes the Night Time" (which appears twice in different arrangements). "I was opened up to a new influence," Butler says of Haitian music. "Bob Marley probably felt the same way when he heard Curtis Mayfield."
The title track, featuring furious congas, chilly synths and a widescreen chorus, became a mission statement for the album. "At first it was like, 'Congas, nowadays, really?'" says longtime collaborator Markus Dravs, who co-produced the record with LCD Soundsystem leader James Murphy. "The last time I used congas was, I think, a remix in the late Nineties." David Bowie, a fan and friend, stopped by for tea one afternoon during a mixing session in New York and loved the song so much he added some vocals.
With dozens of songs written, the band traveled to Jamaica in June 2012 and met Chris Blackwell, the Island Records founder who signed Bob Marley and U2. "He's probably the most interesting dude of all time to talk about music with," says Butler. The band members rented out Trident Castle – a full-scale Disney-ready white palace on the sea, built by an eccentric German baroness in 1979 in gorgeous, jungle-y Port Antonio. They installed a studio in the master bedroom and experimented with dub-reggae grooves. "There was a limited amount of instruments," says Dravs, "but huge amounts of inspiration."
One of the Jamaica tracks – the stomper "Normal People" – was inspired by a bed-and-breakfast Butler and Chassagne visited that was run by a British couple. "The lady said, 'Oh, you're not in one of those weird bands? You're normal people, right?'" says Butler. "It was strange because these were abnormal people in the Jamaican context."
Back in America, Murphy and Dravs, plus two engineers, cranked out mixes in several New York studios – but the band refused to let go. "It happened on almost every song," says Murphy. "We would have mixed it and put it away, and they'd go back to Montreal and add something, change it and mix it again. It was a very ambitious process."
In April, Chassagne and Butler had their first child. (How's parenthood? "Bonkers," says Butler.) Next year, Arcade Fire will hit the road on a massive tour, joined by the Haitian percussionists who played with them on Saturday Night Live's season premiere. "I'm really excited to hear what the band sounds like in a year, after we've got a bunch of touring under our belt," says Butler. "We were really changed by those experiences in Haiti and Jamaica. I was like, 'Oh, shit, we could be really good. We could get good at this music thing.'" |

thanks. do you like Arcade Fire? God bless. Nope, sorry. your forum cred has taken a serious nosedive since you confirmed you've never worked at Hooters, you aren't a doctor and you don't like Arcade Fire....  i didn't like Arcade Fire til well after their second album Neon Bible.....one day it just clicked after listening to their first album Funeral. they're really talented. i definitely consider them to be the most relevant and best band in the world at the moment...and David Bowie's featured on their single. think about it. (God bless.) |

I haven't been following it, but don't you get the feel that sometime in the near future Arcade Fire is going to go heavily artsy on us, like MGMT went? Seems like it's only a matter of time....

MGMT are a snoozefest. One of the worst shows I've ever been. They were part of a festival I went, mind you. I would have never payed to see them.
