Reflektor is #4 for me out of arcade fire's discography. The suburbs and funeral are perfect albums- reflektor and neon bible are still damn good, but they don't have the same edge. I'm glad mvotc has dethroned it, I think reflektor was slightly overrated purely because of the artist. However, mvotc is vampire weekend's most refined album and deserves the top spot!!!

yeah, I do get why people don't like it, but i liked the more electronic, dancy edge, and james murphy and arcade fire are a brilliant combination. It is a tad long though, but i don't mind that when i listen to it.

It almost is goeie-oko 😄 It's the fourth studio album and a lot of artist come into their prime around about album 3 or 4. I think The Suburbs is their most best work so far. I can definitely see why Reflektor can be considered best though. I really like the concept thing.

Am I the only one who thought Reflektor was Arcade Fire's best album?
Yes?
Ok then. 😐

I loved Modern Vampires of the City for a few weeks then it started to get annoying and I haven't played it since. It's a shame because they do inventive music but some of the vocals ruin it for me...

I think they deserve it 'cause their last album goes so much further in the research of new ways to make indie rock music. Love them

WHAT ABOUT THE SAILOR BARK?

Anyways I actually think the 2013 rankings are fine, the top 10 is a bit meh-eh but whatever, when Paramore can crack the top 50 I have faith in BEA (then I lose it again when I see DAISY Rage spouting triple-digits)

It's in the top 50. That's pretty fair.

mVotc is not just better than Reflektor, it's exponentially better.

Field of Reeds is criminally underrated.

And You're Nothing should be higher too.

Lots of people would like their favorites at the top of the year 🤣 I wish some of mine were on all charts. The 2013 chart and 2014 chart on this website are fantastic though 😄 I really like those

Since we're lamenting low 2013 rankings, don't forget about King Krule's 6 Feet Beneath the Moon languishing at #94. Deserved a lot better.

I think that's fair actually. It's a great album, but just lacked a bit of what The Archandroid had.

Anxiety is 75th 🙁 With only 41 votes too. Danny Brown's Old barely scrapes into the top 100, and Excavation, If You Wait, Matangi and Birthdays are somewhere in the 200s... 🙁
