The Suburbs
Arcade Fire
After losing his virginity, and narrowly avoiding the cops our protagonist lays down on his bed. He puts his headphones on, smirks at the ceiling, and an arcade fire song plays as we fade to the credits. The scene could be at the end of any coming of age movie, and any song from this album. If you think that's an indictment of coming of age movies and this album, you're wrong, watching a coming of age movie is at least fun.

A quiet album with lots of emotion. Not especially my thing, but I feel like I wouldn't mind it while eating dinner at a wedding. I feel like there should be a way to do two and a half stars.

This album was definitely not what I thought it was going be. I had only heard schools out before now, and I think very few of the songs had that sound. Particularly Blue Turk caught me by surprise. Otherwise , I really enjoyed it.
