Overpriced? $5 albums are overpriced? What planet are you living on, old timer?

What makes you think I watched their Grammy performance? I'm more insulted you insinuate I'd watch the Grammys in the first place.Sudden Sam wrote: Truthfully, I haven't really listened to AF yet. I may. But you gotta admit that was awful at the Grammys. It sure didn't encourage me to check them out.

I knew they were going to perform "The Suburbs" at the Grammys, so I didn't care to watch. Now if they were gonna play "Suburban War" or "We Used to Wait" or say "In the Backseat," that would have been worth watching.
You should listen to Funeral. It's their best, although I like all their albums. That said, I understand if you don't like them. They aren't exactly writing music for guys 50 and over.

Pretty safe bet that if Screwball likes a band, that band blows an array of goats. Dude must be tone deaf with no sense of rhythm whatsoever.

Just give "Funeral" a good, honest listen from start to finish, preferrably with a nice set of headphones. If you don't like that you won't like AF. But like you said, to each his own. I know for me sometimes I have to listen to something a few times before I "get it."

Re: Hey, Screwy, Arcade Fire - Cheap
Sounds like the first time I listened to A Sucerfull of Secrets. I just didn't get it. Now it is one of my favorite albums ever. Same with the Decemberists. It took me a few spins to get and dig them too. AF is worth the time to acclimate your musical palette to.Sudden Sam wrote:Oh, most definitely.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Just give "Funeral" a good, honest listen from start to finish, preferrably with a nice set of headphones.

Generally things I immediately am blown away by wear thin over time. Pieces that require repeated listenings tend to maintain their hold over me longer.
I'll check 'em out.
My tastes run pretty much the gamut...everything other than hiphop and polka is how I usually describe my likes. I have a lot of blues, a lot of heavy guitar shit, tons of alt-country, a lot of singer/songwriter (Townes Van Zandt, Pierce Pettis, Lucinda Williams, Vince Junior, Buddy Miller)...pretty much any and everything. And I'm always interested in new bands.

I am surprised with how little the band plays live from Castaways, Her Majesty and Picaresque now a days.BSmack wrote:Same with the Decemberists.

Re: Hey, Screwy, Arcade Fire - Cheap
I like their earlier shit, I think BSmack might be more into their later albums. They started out very acoustic for their first few albums then got into an electric phase when they "sold out" and went into concept albums after that, et al....

Re: Hey, Screwy, Arcade Fire - Cheap
I'd say that Picaresque and Crane Wife are my two faves. After that, Her Majesty and Hazards of Love. But they're all great. And they are even better live.Screw_Michigan wrote:I like their earlier shit, I think BSmack might be more into their later albums.

Re: Hey, Screwy, Arcade Fire - Cheap
I'm happy that the Decemberists (since they're a fairly big deal around here) finally got away from their one-trick gimmickry of playing 17th century shanties, and started playing something a little different.
Sam -- while they're far from "new," you ever check out Modest Mouse? Pretty decent, and I think the addition of Johnny Marr (seems like the longest he's held a job in his life... must be like 4 years now... must like living in Portand) added some new zip to the songwriting.
Fairly distinctive guitar sound.

Band of Horses > Arcade Fire
Better singing, better songwriting, better beards.
And for Dis,
Built to Spill > Modest Mouse
Same three reasons...

No debate there, just about everything BtS has done is solid gold. Isaack Brock can write a decent song when he isn't getting black-out drunk and raping women, but hasn't really done so since 2000.Bizzarofelice wrote:i will agree only because I'm an old treepeople fan and don't know much about MM

Hard to believe it took Brock producing Wolf Parade's debut album for the band to break on the scene.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:No debate there, just about everything BtS has done is solid gold.
