Arcade Fire

There is a very good reason why things hype. It's simply because they are absolutely amazing and deserve the recognition. Take for example Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. It's been hyped for a while and I only got around to listening to it the other day. How do I feel about it? Incredibly impressed. Everything on this album is just love for my ears and I am head over heels for this album. This is the type of music that I've been pining for lately.

'And my old friends, I can remember when you cut your hair. We never saw you again, now the cities we live in could be distant stars'

'pray to god i won't live to see the death of everything that's wild'

'Sometimes I wonder if the world’s so small,
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
Living in the sprawl,
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,
And there’s no end in sight,
I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.'
