Antichrist Television Blues - Arcade Fire.
I like...
Arcade Fire
I’m really, really trying to get into them but I can’t help but feel like they try to squeeze too much into each song - it’s like they’ve mixed 4 or 5 hugely different ideas together (each one pretty good) per song but by doing so it loses it’s point. And it kinda gives me a headache.
