The Suburbs

Arcade Fire's latest opus, "The Suburbs" was released today, and i'm going to admit that my original reservations that i've had for the last month or so were for naught. The album's good. So far, nothing has come out and grabbed me immediately, like "Neighborhood #1" from their first record, or "Intervention" from their second, but the album is really solid. So, phew. I will add though, that the worst song Arcade Fire has ever made is on this album. "Modern Man" sucks. It sucks bad. It sounds like something Springsteen would have farted. But, the rest of the record is good. So there.

I'm seeing Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti tonight, so hooray for me!
