There's like 3 Arcade Fire songs each played 5 times in 4 weeks...not like their so easy to tell apart.

Mewling + POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. 
POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND. POUND...

A trained chimp could play that "percussion."

Monotonous cacophohy.

White noise. 

Mercy, please. 

 

Get the right trained chimp and maybe it will know the correct "there, their and they're."
snark, snark - use the "PSD" button.

They lists may be repetitive, perhaps, for certain songs, but they're not especially redundant.

I just made $1 million dollars off the copy-righted photo posted by C1 below after I published it in my on-line fanzine. It is so awesome I am positive the copy-right is priceless. Thank God, I can now retire from my shitty job.  I wonder if I'll get sued like Bill Maher is getting sued by Donald Trump for proving he is not the son of an orangutan.  {#Ask} {#Shifty}  {#Liar}

Not one of Arcade Fire's best . . . a bit boring/repetitive.

If you disagree, set me straight.
 
They "started off" several years before they performed with David Bowie, and they are (still) on a relatively small, independent record label.  Getting to work with David Bowie is quite a "leg-up" for any band, though.  I'm not sure if their music can evolve as much as his did.

Had enough Arcade Fire. 
Good music, but IMO it doesn't hold up to repeated listens. Robo drumming and other annoyances. 
One of my rare complaints about RP.
Thank heaven for the PSD.

Not at all looking forward to hearing them take on a Leonard, Joni or Neil Young song, or even a Rush song for that matter.

Thats why DB chose them as they are as repetetive non inspiring, playing/reciting continuous monotonal drivel as he does... sorry friend but DB is not one of my favourites.

Repetitious droning in my opinion. Everything they do sounds the same. Nice that they throw in the occasional chord change try to find some variability.

Great song. Oddly enough it remained the only song by Arcade Fire I really like. Rest of the bands repertoire does not touch me at all...

I too tried to give them a chance, but I still don't get it.{#Stupid}

Did you obtain another writing sample of gosvimmink's?  There are no misspellings in his comment, just a lack of appropriate, upper-case letters, while yours lacks punctuation.

Good chance to use a 5 rating. The song is completely lacking anything to get me excited, but not bad enough to warrant a mute. I don't get the hype about this band. This song will be long forgotten in 15 years.
