Like them, can understand why some get obsessive about them, but am not one of those people. Perhaps I need to see them live.

So do you have to pretend to like popular stuff that you actually don't in order to avoid being tagged with "mass contrarianism" or would that just leave you open for being accused of "mass adoration?"

I hate hipster fodder as much as the next guy... usually. But I ♥ The Arcade Fire pretty much without reservation. You guys, mass contrarianism is almost as lame as mass adoration.

I whole heartedly agree that this band is a snooze. But the 750,000 hipsters who bought this album might disagree.

Arcade Fire mines classic U2 and Bruce Springsteen

Let me get this straight - they mean this as a compliment? I agree with iantenna, TOTAL snooze.

Seriously MitchT. They aren't ripping off Springsteen in that song, they're ripping off people who ripped off Springsteen.

Whew! I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like them. I was beginning to feel isolated in a way I haven't been since I was the only person in my 4th grade class who hated Fine Young Cannibals.

Their pre-release buzz and leaked-track reviews were all tilting more-or-less toward an 8-or-less kiss of death.

I actually think the Forkers might have panicked a little here.

If only the masses would love italo disco or whatever.

I didn't see any of the reviews reference John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Odd, because the Arcade Fire's second song on SNL sounded just like "On The Darkside."

what happened the requisite sophmore backlash review from pitchfork? they've gone soft.
p.s. this band is a total snooze.
