Yeah i know i shouldn't start a topic just for a single...but it's the single of the possibly best album of 2013!Arcade Fire Reflektor,the video is great the song ...sounds so much like LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!
I like it actually.i think there will be sth really different from suburbs!
what do you think bout the song?
After all the fuss and hype, I thought it was something of a disappointment. Too long for a start, Mr Bowie dosen't appear until 4:50 and the dance/disco influence is rather worrying. Hope there is more guitar based music on the album. Not loving this single! 😮

I actually really loved the single. I wasn't expecting the disco/dance beat, but it worked for their style after the joyfully rebellious sound that was The Suburbs. This has got me even more hyped for the next album! 😁 _________________
Sometimes I think they're very good, sometimes I think they're fantastic, sometimes I think they're extremely average. There seems to be a certain proportion of music fans who believe they can do no wrong, though. I think this is a pretty good song, if very similar to many other indie dance songs and a little bit consciously anthemic for my liking, but I believe that a lot of people will think it's amazing. That's what I was trying to get at. Whenever I think Arcade Fire do something good, everybody else seems to think it's great. I know this isn't true. It was an exaggeration, partly for comic effect, partly to emphasise a point, and partly because my rhetorical comfort zone is one of cheap, snide remarks aimed at showing my disdain for [insert whoever the fuck you like here]. Sorry, I appear to have gone on a bit of a tangent there. But, to answer your question, yes it was a joke and no it wasn't. Hope that helps.
After the garbage that was their last album I wasn't anticipating any kind of follow up. But then James Murphy was announced as producing the new album and suddenly I was wet. He could give Arcade Fire an electronic kick they needed. Then I heard the song and it was dull as poo...so I'm back where I was 😕 . It sounds like they're not even sure what they want their new sound to be (although more guitar certainly isn't the answer).
