Neon Bible

Eh

I have tried to like Arcade Fire for years, but it still has never resonated with me.

Big miss for me. I am typically not into the whiney singer sound, and this album had it in spades. Alot of the sounds were... i dont know generic? I zoned out most of the album. I do like My Body is a Cage, but thats about it.

it's giving cold hotdog water, but the album flows alright

💩. Lyrics sound like they were wrote by a 7th grader trying to write above their skill level. Sometimes a female vocalist sings and it's okay.

Boring

No thanks!

The rare all skips album. Full of songs I would take as an opportunity to use the bathroom at a concert. Every song has at least one motif that bugged me. Like the same three notes on a chime at the end of every like. Perfect for walking at midnight after a middle school breakup

Not for me. Wasn’t expecting them to sound like that however. Still wanted the album to be over for the last 3/4 of it.

Despite being relatively recent, there wasn't much in here that I liked or felt was truly original. This album could have been from "U2" and I wouldn't have guessed any differently. First because it has a religious theme and secondly because there is a lot of borrowing going on in here. Without surprise this band came to relevance from being front-runners for U2. I have a fear that this list will be a bit too america-centric. There are some genres which hold a lot more importance to the north american audience (e.g. country) which will earn them positions on this list without being a musical novelty. Similarly there is a marketing issue of north americans waking up to a style only once it has been done by a north american band. I feel that's the case here.

Listened to 1/2 Not into the indie-style

Wynn Butler sucks. Next.

Pish

Ach, das sind Arcade Fire? Will ich nie wieder hören müssen.

Sucks balls

Dreary, tiresome dirge-pop. Use your time more productively by cleaning your shower out.

Shittiest band on earth makes a perfect soundtrack to wish to die faster

I don’t know what it is but I really don’t like Arcade Fire. The last album ‘The Suburbs’ didn’t quite hit home and this sank even lower. I think the chord progression they use just isn’t for me, or it’s too cheerful sounding or something. I wanted to like it, but for the whole album I just couldn’t wait for it to be over, and I wanted to skip every song. I think this is also the first album I rate 1 star even though the production and sound is actually good. Here it’s just the music that really don’t work for me.

I'll be honest. Though I actually think they're overrated, I'm dropping an extra start because Wyn Butler turns out to be a massive, misogynist douchebag. And he's about as Canadian as July 4th.

Arcade fire needs to be shot for this

Had some hope that this might be better than ‘Funeral’ after the first couple of songs. Newsflash: it’s not. It’s as pretentious, overdone, dramatic and whiny as ‘Funeral’ if not more. It’s a hard pass from me.

Meh. Will forever be remembered as the song (not album) that opened U2's indoor "Elevation Tour" concerts. The band got lucky...

Sorta forgetable

Not my music, too simple

This is music? Really? It's the most boring music I have ever heard.

Man, this really is just an "Ocean of Noise", huh? Really not good, and the addition of a member being an assaulter? Man, easy to hate this. It's pretty funny that this bad mix of Mumford & Sons and Modest Mouse is on here three times, yet nothing by either is on here. Not that I'm dying for Mumford & Sons to be on here, but all this feels like to me is indie rock with too much of a budget.

Arcade Fire are a band at the front and centre of the appalling, dismal state of music in the early 2000s. This album, coming in around 2007, does not do anything positive towards shedding that early-2000s plague of pompous overindulgence. It's ostentatious, pretentious and generally not pleasurable to listen to. I straight up don't enjoy it.

Nah

Technically terrific album. Plenty of talent and a great sound. But I'm a no. I'll side with against this-- again. https://www.mcgilldaily.com/2022/11/a-reckoning-within-the-arcade-fire-fandom/

Abuser. Whiner. Did not listen.

Fucking corny

this isn't even in the top 1000 albums of the 00s
