Arcade Fire - the Suburbs

[Pete for President]

Bought tickets for the Arcade Fire in the Philipshalle, Germany. It's gonna be quite a road trip, but probably worth it even though I've already seen them live this July, but I just seem to get enough of em!

Anyway, after 20 or so spins of the Suburbs I must say the darker tracks get to me the most. Half Light I, Deep Blue and Sprawl I & II are now my favourites. To me they seem to have the most heart and story in it, even though I didn't think they were that special when I first got the album.

Empty Room makes me want to sing out loud and go wild.

Songs I skip most of the time are City With No Children In It and Wasted Hours. Kind of logical, cause they're quite cheerful compared to the rest of the album and I tend to like darker songs better.

One other missed chance I've noticed is that some songs lose their power towards the end of the song. Most notably Month of May and Ready to Start.
