But anyway, I really don't hate AF or Win Butler. They might be pricks, but I don't really care. I like their music a ton. Sorry for arguing. All debates on this board should end this way, except for ones between me or HG and a new person who is wrong/stupid. Priceless. Drew and i were not arguing, we had different opinions and we were strongly voicing those opinions. That's all.

Drew, I can't argue with the lyrics, because in a large part lyrics are up to interpretation, It's what you think the lyrics are saying, when they become emotional it means you identify your preceived meaning of a lyric.
But just taking a lyric and saying that it is no good is pointless. I could do the same thing with any album ever made.
We don't know the context of the lyric. It is what we think of the lyric.

Of course most hugely successful artists are. Duh. I don't really give a shit unless it makes their music unlistenable (U2). I love Radiohead and Kanye, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to hang out with them. Win Butler is a pseudo-intellectual, though. Thom Yorke is a fucking poet compared to Win Butler. Butler thinks The Suburbs is a statement, and his lyrics are trite and riddled with cliche. Yorke, if nothing else, is constantly original. That being said, I don't really pay much attention to lyrics for the most part, and I really love how Arcade Fire sound, so I still like them a lot. I have to respectfully disagree, I loved a lot of the lyrics on suburbs, especially, month of may. The suburbs is not a statement, its about looking at the past, it's about growing up, hanging out in the neighbourhood. It really resonated with me. It's that Emotional attachment that makes this album so good.( for me) I could care less who win butler is if the band are not nice people, You asked HG what the appeal is of Arcade Fire, is that they are very good musicians , are pretty good lyrically( not the best mind you but pretty good), and are outstanding live. What else do you want?

they're self-righteous and self-important and arrogant. That doesn't describe radiohead? Radiohead is one my favourite bands, but they even admit that they are pretentious, but they also talented that they are allowed to be self righteous and arrogant, in fact that's what makes them talented is that fact they won't just put out a sub par album to make money. They want it to be they best.

Say what you will about their music, but do any of us really think that the people in Arcade Fire are anything less than massively egotistical pricks? Absolutely not. If anyone doubts that they're self-righteous and self-important and arrogant, they haven't been paying attention. Name me a band that is successful that isn't. U2, Radiohead, Kanye( too easy).

That true HG, I do Agree with some of the things you mentioned, and it's always going to be a good time. And even though Flaming lips , GBV, Wolfparade are going to awesome.
I am just to justify the 20 hour drive and the 4 days I have to take off work.
But i do have tickets now, and I can take a couple of months to get excited and decide.

Oh I'm sorry peatrick, I didn't know the Thread was entitled "Now that we've had a few days...you can only say positive things about the lineup."

For one time we agree Cbat, I was underwhelmed with the initial lineup, after a couple of days, i am still underwhelmed. The undercard although has some Really nice names, isn't as strong as previous years. For example, I like flogging Molly, but I 've seem them at smaller venues and it looks like they are playing at the same time LCD Sound system did last year.
It just seems that the lineup lacks any imagination.
So let's call it what it is, It's a chance to make Big money. Raising the ticket Prices for the "extra Day" and really not booking an extra day's worth of acts( I know more are to be added on Friday, but they will be smaller acts that are not going to justify the price increase.).
Sasquatch know they have a festival that is going to sell, so what is going to motivate them to bring in acts like they did in the past?
I Bought tickets a month ago expecting the lineup to be stellar, I am Actually considering skipping it for the first time in 6 years.
