Okay, fuck you guys. I love it. Haha this is great. I never got into this argument on here but I was slightly surprised that you hated a band that so blatantly emulated (or ripped off) so many bands that you love.

The reasons that I generally hate Arcade Fire are the reasons that I enjoy Reflektor so much -- those being, they have toned down most of their less forgivable affectations in favor of a new set of far more interesting affectations.
I don't have time to really get into it right now, but trust me -- I will, soon. If there's one thing I love about this board, it is using it to talk about Arcade Fire.

I did, because it rocks.
The real treat is going to be the looks in the faces of Grammas and everyone else who's never seen 'em when they see 'em at the fuckin' Gorge.

Atta Gramma! I dig the Haitian/Kanaval influence and the loop-da-loops on the new album. So far it doesn't touch me the way Funeral or even Neon Bible did (granted I was 18-20 y/o and I never really listen to either anymore but I was way into 'em back in the day). Reflektor grows on me more every time I hear it, especially the second half. It is without a doubt boatloads better than the steaming shit pile that was The Suburbs.
It really is ALL about the live show. I hope it will be as raw, large and thrilling as it was back in 2005 & 2007. Remember when dude was throwing his gigantic cymbal up into the air as high as he could & letting it crash onto the stage (or onto him) over and over until he collapsed and had to be helped off the stage? Their SNL performance has me a bit nervous/skeptical but most everybody has a rough go of it on SNL.

Also, maybe I'm crazy but on my last listen my brain thought Reflektor sounded like an album that The Flaming Lips and Mum could have made together.

I think Burrito nailed why I like Reflektor so much - that BASS. In my headphones its so deep and dreadful it feels like I have heartworms. I love it.

Not my mum, I can tell you that. Well done. I tweeted Snacks to request Mum at Sasquatch and when I searched for @mum a bunch of British Tweens popped up complaining about their moms. Trademarking British Tweens as a band name.

Gramma is losing his edge. Also: Umm... Nothing further, actually. Just quoting it again so that this horrible, horrible thing is all the fuck over this page.
