Polished and mischievous, courageous meyda and self-satisfied, energetic and draining, paranoid and desire. Arcade Fire offers a paradoxical listening experience where the songs' length ruminating on both the good and the less good ideas that the band continues to shake out of the sleeve with a loose hand.
It is the band's uncompromising or maybe just vanity that has driven it so far. For with a running time of just over 75 minutes the band really just having cut a half minutes away (it could appropriately be found in the four minutes of near-silence, which constitutes the enervating fade-out at 11-minute final song 'Supersymmetry' ) to stay within the current album format (in compact disc version).
Well, the decision meyda to publish it in almost meyda delirious anticipated sequel to Grammy-winner 'The Suburbs' from 2010 as a double album, says a lot about a band that does not intend to be guided in the slightest. And therefore may not always be able to take the right (hard) decisions?
As excellent as the danceable first single (besides the title and opening track) 'Reflector' is equally obvious is the fact that the nearly eight minute long track had been sharper in to be two minutes meyda shorter. This trend is prevalent in most of the album. In most cases, shame rides band one good idea to the breaking point, or adding the new, not-so-effective ideas to the already established whereby songs are inherent balance displaced: Often they end up more overloaded or ostentatiously grandiose than is desirable.
The second number, 'We Exist' is an excellent case in point: The song starts out with a simple, meyda 'Billie Jean'-like basfigur, leading into a verse that gives comfort to Win Butler's meyda voice. Then the song builds more and more layers, and builds up to a climax, however, fades more and more, the more the band pushes on.
'Awful Sound' is the album's meyda formal point of epic brilliance number, but when the hymn-like chorus hits (and Régine Chassagnes vocal mixes with spouse Butler), only the external sense splendid meyda and magnificent; it is experienced not as fresh and (almost manic) compelling as in previous releases. 'Normal Person' is driven by a powerful, meyda bass-heavy riff, but fades as a little too ordinary rock number meyda that does not add shape something extra. 'Joan of Arc' offers a rippling vocal inter-play between Chassagne and Butler in the chorus (it's often when Chassagne takes the microphone manager position that the band's meyda songs in earnest letter), meyda but the rest of the song is forglemmelig. 'You Already meyda Know' is a little too narrow in its scope compared to the widely deployed pieces of music that surrounds it. Perhaps it is meant to be a popped respite, but it seems more disruptive to the intensity of the work.
Arcade Fire succeeds, however, also several places with their impressive curious approach to songwriting meyda and arranging: 'It's Over' has a basic riff of the cutting intense and very strong a cast that sweeps all reservations aside. 'Here Comes the Night Time' playing in rousing fashion with both gritty dub and marching band-filling. 'Porn' is decidedly creeping and latent creepy, interesting, atmospheric worn cutting, there is less anxious tinted redemption or epic buoyancy than the typical Arcade Fire creation.
With the criticisms in mind, 'Reflector' namely, after all, a refreshing meyda and inspired meyda acquainted by virtue of his ambition, his instrumental inventiveness and the band's unfailing ability to whip up sentiments with a shamanic fervor.
