I've always been kind of iffy about The Arcade Fire and then I started watching their performance and I was like "yeah they're pretty good". Then he went and smashed that guitar and yeah.....

 

However, Rainn Wilson = hillarious!

Watching the first song, I could barely hear the words being sung...all I could hear was keyboards.

 

I hoped on VC right after the performance expecting at least a dozen comments calling for the soundboard guy's head for having the keyboards pumped way too much on Intervention.

 

I didn't care for the other song.

 

As far as Acrade Fire in general, Funeral is truly an inspired album full of gorgeous lyrics, poingant emotions, and (surpisingly) uptempo rockers.

 

I'm not sure about Neon Bible yet. The lyrics to Intervention aren't as strong as the best songs on Funeral, and it sounds more like Win is whining about cliche angst than anything personal and real. I'll reserve judgment on it.

 

But as for their performances, they've always been fun. Even the kitschy stuff with the motorcycle helmets and such. They have stage presence, albeit a different kind.

yeah, I don't get what everyone loves about this band. Lyrically the songs seemed kind of interesting but I didn't really dig them musically. Also...with like a dozem people in the band, none of them can sing a harmony once and while? The best they could do was shout in unison...

at this point, you either kinda get them or you don't

if you see them live and don't find the show moving, then you're not gonna dig this band, that much i can guarantee.

 

and there's PLENTY of amazing harmonies on both records...
