NEON BIBLE = HEAVEN

[braundiggity]

I just got the new Arcade Fire album, and it's totally awesome. I'm so psyched to hear "Keep The Car Running," "No Cars Go," and whatever else they choose to play. I just want those two, because they might be my new favorite Arcade Fire songs.

I. can't. wait.

[dorkfish]

No Cars Go is an old song.

[ED GEIN]

I am digging Windowsill and Intervention myself.

[Mabdul Doobakus]

They played No Cars Go at the 2005 Coachella, right? Cause I surely recognize it from somewhere, and I can't imagine where else that would be.

No Cars Go is an old song.

Hey mister hipster, he never said it was a new song. Just said it's his new favorite.

[windscreen]

is it possible to get a private message with information as to where i can hear this?

[Mabdul Doobakus]

psst!

try that...not sure if it still works

[windscreen]

thank you much

[bartelby]

Intervention and Ocean of Noise are my two new favs.

And the update to NoCarsGo is awesome!

[wmgaretjax]

the album is OK. There are some weak tracks, some solid ones, and a couple great ones.

I liked Funeral a lot better, I've given it 12 listens so far and I'm pretty sure that's where I stand. I'm almost inclined to say sophomore slump, but it's a solid enough album not to.

[idrive1life]

I've listened to the streams in The Hype Machine etc ... I love tracks #2 thru #10 (fall in love on 1st and/or 2nd listening only) - DEFINITELY am going to buy it in CD and vinyl!

Keep The Car Running
Black Waves/Bad Vibrations
Neon Bible
Intervention
Ocean of Noise
The Well and The Lighthouse
Antichrist Television Blues
Windowsill
No Cars Go

Interestingly that 1st and last tracks are growing on me. Great album - almost as good as the epic Funeral.

Great 2007 start for indie music ...

1. The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible 9.5/10
2. The Shins - Wincing The Night Away 9.0/10
3. Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer 9.0

Menomena - Friend and Foe 8.0/10
The Good, The Bad and The Queen 8.0/10
Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity 7.5/10
Piebald - Accidental Gentlemen 7.5/10

After about 20 rotations, Ocean of Noise is the only weak track for me- and that is even growing on me as I listen to it more.

[lowfront]

I can't wait to listen to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

arcade fire is my favorite band

[Stefinitely Maybe]

They played No Cars Go at Coachella 2005, yes. It was on their first EP.

[Alchemy]

I love No Cars Go... But why is it on the new album? Is this version different?

[braundiggity]

I had an old version of No Cars Go. The album version is cleaner, and better, and my new weapon of choice. I want them to close their set with it.

[ttboy80]

Holy Shit! This album is fantastic. That first song blew me away

Thank you som much for the link you made my day!!!

[lindseyb]

i like both versions of no cars go. the old one sounds more raw and natural. the new one sounds more...produced, but its still good.

[keriann]

Lindsey, is that kitty yours?

[lindseyb]

it was a kitten that i fostered. i had to give him back.

[keriann]

so cute

[tessalasset]

i dont wanna jump the gun on this one, as it's only monday, but Keep the Car Running might just be my favorite song of the week.

[york707]

I love No Cars Go... But why is it on the new album? Is this version different?

Because they ran out of ideas.

[Alchemy]

I heard the album... I think it is okay. I mean, it's no Funeral... But it is still a good album.

[bmack86]

it's juicy

[smokealotapotamus]

Woot! I dig it...

[Laika]

I have listened to this all week. It's already one of my favorite CDs ever. EVER. I'm in LOVE! (and obviously liked the band already before)

Woo hoo!!

4-7 are my favorites.

[goatparade]

There has been some sweet releases this year (tgtbtq, shins) but this is far superior to me. This is a 10. It honestly feels as good as a new radiohead release(almost.) Can't wait for its vinyl.

and with that, heres a sweet imaginary Coachet-list:

Neon Bible(just win and regine on drums)
No Cars Go
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
Black Waves/Bad Vibrations
(Antichrist Television Blues)
Haiti
Wake Up
Keep the Car Running
My Body is a Cage
Neighborhood #1(Tunnels)
Rebellion(Lies)
Intervention
Power Out

Hell yes
