God, they're depressing.

I think Arcade Fires work so far has been nothing short of brilliant, but I just can't get into the new album. I've listened to it about 10 times, and it's just...meh. Everyone I talk to loves it. I'm all like forealz?

Well, I did enjoy the interviews with them on CBC.

But still, they're so depressing.

(4: I think you're thinking of the Hold Steady.)

They are so, so good in concert, though the thought of Key Arena's horrible acoustics is depressing. I saw them at Red Rocks on the Neon Bible tour, and I would heartily recommend seeing Arcade Fire at an outdoor amphitheater show if you ever get the chance.
