cover art sucks too. also last two talk talk albums: meandering new age wank

it's not shit, just barely ok. it relies too heavily on memes and quirkiness to have a lasting enjoyment value.

it relying on memes and copious amounts of repetition is what makes it shit

it's a solid 7/10

It starts off great but gets boring really fast. Still wouldn't call it shit

Fuck this album and fuck Arcade Fire. Terrible band

yikes this thread is full of shit taste

Horrible taste OP

sup rymtards

I think this is what scruffy gave it. Not far off...i'd give it an 8/10. is half right. The memes have helped it and it is a great New Wave record, but it isn't the best New Wave record...it's not even the best New Wave record of that month, or week for that matter..and yeah it's quirky, but lots of New Wave was doing the herky jerky thing.

Get mad fags but it's true.
You say it's good because you want to sound smart

only good answers so far. if you seriously can't hear anything of note in Remain in Light, Funeral, Unknown Pleasures, and Kid A, you may need to get new hearing aids. that's not to say they're as good as critics say, but they hardly deserve to be called shit

agree hard, impressive its 34 on rym

for me, it's not that Kid A and Unknown Pleasures have nothing of note, it's just that they are not nearly as good as people want to pretend they are

fucking love remain in light so I got nothing to add there, I might be retarded
