"I totally get why a lot of people have the conception of Kanye that they do, but if part of that conception is that he's not a real artist, they probably just haven't heard this album yet."  Reply

I had first heard of Arcade Fire when the Rolling Stone's list of top songs of 2003 came out and heard Wake Up. It was a pretty good song but they seemed a little too out of left field for my liking. Didn't really look into them more. Then a couple years ago, I was listening to the indie station on Sirius and heard multiple Arcade Fire songs and remembered them from a few years prior and I remember thinking wow, this is more to my liking. There was more of a rock sound to them and the thing that captured me most about this album is the theme. To me, Neon Bible is by far their most loaded album touching on religion, overbearing parents, media, etc. This album takes a step back in seriousness and a step forward in genuity. The Suburbs and many others on this album are melancholy songs because they make you realize how wrapped up in technology we are and how we don't embrace small things as much as we used to. My favorite class in college was History of the American City and a lot of things we discussed in that class are on the album. The isolation that comes with living in suburbs, how youth is protected from harrowing things that maybe inner city kids are exposed to younger and even how relatonships are based on what music you listen to and stuff. I like Arcade Fire a lot because they are all early 30's so it's like they've made that transition to adulthood but it's not far away from their youth and that duality reflects in the songs. It might not be a perfect album, to me Sprawl I is a throwaway track and Rococo is pretty mediocre, but the rest of this album is phenomonal and if you're a fan of music, definitely check this album out. This could very well be the defining album of Generation Y. OK Computer is probably the 90's version of this album. It is good in terms of the concept album but the idea of isolation from each other, impact of technology, and leaving youth to go to adulthood is much more fully realized on this album than OK Computer."  [+]  Reply

"Best National album hands down, sounds perfect from the beginning to the end, no bad tracks in here. Melancholic, dense and deep to the right point, without being excessively sad."  Reply

A lot of the songs, while having some of the nice nods back to their last entry in their discography; Demon Days, it feels more electronic and commercial in comparison. But that's not to say that it's a bad thing, the songs are actually quite catchy and are a ton of fun to be had with. Not to mention that some of that fun is brought by Damon Albarn's ingenuity as a music artist. This album also has some of the best collaborations on any album/side project type thingy I have ever heard, with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Little Dragon, Bobby Womack and they even managed to get Lou Reed on here, (LOU FRICKEN' REED!!!) most of them are great because they add a lot of personality to each song. This album is an enjoyable and relaxing album as a whole. While not as dark or hypnotic as Demon Days, but this is an album to be enjoyed by Gorillaz's fans and casual on-goers as it's diverse enough to reach that sort of crowd. "  [+]  Reply

Sufjan Stevens, previously a melodic, mostly acoustic christian folk song writer takes a five year hiatus and then comes out with this cacophony of an album. Bizzarre detours, mad orchestration and unpredictable electronics all barge at you at once as Sufjan Stevens, for the first time, really screams his most personal and effective lyrics yet - even exclaiming multiple times in "I Want To be Well", 'I'm Not Fuckin' Around' - when that's exactly what he's doing on this album. What this album suffers from is filler. At least 20 minutes of the album is barely cohesive and not enjoyable - when the madness comes together magic is really created, but it doesn't always happens. It makes me smile though, when at the end Sufjan Sings solemny - almost returning to his previous style "Boy, we made such a mess together" - you sure did Sufjan, you made a complete mess of an album that no sane person would call music, and that's why it's so fantastic.
