I refused to not like this band out of ignorance and biased reason...what else is new?. it bothers myself so that I am just now liking them now lol... but this band it actually awesome.
@amoghthegamer How about because it's a seminal work from real musicians and lyricists with honest to god sociopolitical themes and poetry? And not just another shitty pop album crafted by a marketing team to sell big?
Springsteen meets Lynch and Badalamenti... The album grows with every next listen. Really nice. The music definitely lives up to its album title. Thumbs up.
glad your saying. just read a review where this song was the only negatives they had to say about the album (it got 9 out of 10) and mentioned it didnt have anything to do on the album. after hearing through out the album i would say this is a quite good song. so im glad someone shares my opinion :P
Respond to this video... This album expands on past themes, the lack of freedom we have as "middle and lower class" citizens and the tendency to think we have plenty. We also have a tendency to wait for a big pay off, (heaven, retirement, wealth, love) and go about it in a traditional and practiced way. This song talks about our society's failure to instill a welfare for all, and the way we justify our greed with capitalism. (sounds Socialist, i know.)

@lukeloseth: I think what ghost was getting at is that the idyllic notion of "living in the suburbs," and what the "suburbs" generally used to represent, are gone. The suburbs are literally still there, yes, but they carry different meanings for our society today than in decades past
....for all who say that this album is a different theme from the normal arcade fire are wrong. This album is going to be just as great.
In cause you dont understand the meaning of the suburb album cover and they style ill clue you in. They are trying to show you how times have changed and will never go back they way they are. In reality the suburbs are a memory of the past and gone forever. dead and gone.
@ghostSTL "In reality the suburbs are a memory of the past and gone forever" the hell are you babbling about? i was born in the suburbs, I was brought up in the suburbs, and guess what, I currently live in the suburbs. the suburbs are everywhere, have you ever been to a city?
shit being arcade fire alone would have been more than enough for me to go get it even had i not already heard the instant classics , WE WE USED TO WAIT!!!!!
holy flying spaghetti this album is gonna be amazing. Rococo, Modern Man, City With No Children, The Suburbs, We Used To Wait. More than enough reasons to buy it before i've even heard them properly.
love it
