@TheMurray44 Lady gaga and Justin bieber (etc.) use one drum pattern in each of their songs, which is that 1,2 beat you hear if you listen closely, plus those are just synthesizers.
Arcade fire are good, the only problem is every song is similar. its 3 minutes of the same strum pattern.... and the female vocalist is terrible. she should never sing
It just kills me when a band is amazingly overwhelmingly talented and as if it wasnt enough they are also funny and great people..never been happier to watch the grammys
@MisterEminemFan Eminem has gone downhill since he released his first ep, child. Arcade Fire is a truly remarkable band who's sound won't be replicated anytime soon.
yeah, i'm still trying to understand how these guys won. Their music sounds much like noice, less like music. I think we have to remember 4 of the 5 artists nominated for album of the year write their own lyrics and their own music, or they work on it with their producer, cause there is only one of them, where arcade fire has like 6 or 7 members collabing together to write the music. At the end of the day i think certain people got robbed. I think their was albums that spoke much further volume.
@hojun7273 1) put together a real thought cause you sound like a douche. 2) i don't care if every member of the band can play a magical harp from jesus, their music still isn't that good, simple enough. I don't know bout katy perry, i know gaga can play multiple instruments including the piano, bass, and guitar, so don't think your precious arcade faggots are the only people who can play an instrument. "no talent, straight up shit music." that's how i describe arcade fire.
@calkinst6890 in your first comment you said something that holds no water "has like 6 or 7 members collabing together to write the music. At the end of the day i think certain people got robbed" at the end of the day it boils down to the amount of votes so it's obvious that they are well known the charts even said it at the time i believe so don't flip out because you didn't know about them at the time that's a terrible reason besides some bands take time to grow on you
@MinisculeMayhem alright sorry for flipping out but you started with "listen to funeral you faggot" i'm happy that the band won, i think that's great for them, i was angry because other artists music spoke to me much closer than arcade fire that year. and i did know about them, i have a few of their songs on my ipod, none of them from this album, and i'm not trying to put them down, i just am not the biggest fan of them. i hope i've helped to bring this whole thing down a notch
@calkinst6890 that was hojun. i don't say shit like that and i rarely swear unless i have a reason for it.... but anyways i get what you mean, people like what they like and i don't flip on them unless they run their mouths off :)
One last thing! Arcade Fire wrote all of their lyrics and music themselves. They don't have big record deals backing them up and producers in and out. Its just them. They real people and their songs are real. "The Suburbs" was about being teenagers and growing up. Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" was about laying on the beach, and skin tight jeans, and being a "teenager". What teenager does that? In "The Suburbs" they sing about losing friends and living in lifeless towns.It's REAL, PASSIONATE music
I'd also like to add another reason why they deserved this Grammy. Through out the years of being an independent band, they've giving away their earnings to Haiti. And even before the earthquake. They don't care about fancy cars and mansions and name brand cloths. They care about that cause and being normal people who do what they love. They love making music and performing music and express themselves through their songs.
Arcade Fire deserved that Grammy. Sure Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Eminem are POPULAR, but this isn't a popularity contest. Its a musically TALENTED contest. I've loved Arcade Fire since the start. Their music is about real life and growing up and losing people. And when I say real life and losing people I mean growing up in small towns, losing a mother in a car crash, and working hard for this reward.
lol at all the mad people. have fun listening to shit music... I don't think any true music fan with an open mind could hate arcade fire, but it just goes to show that a lot of people out there are fucking morons.
Surprised they won but the truth is they had no competition at all in terms of talend and musicianship. The others were all well marketed and financed brands backed by music labels. About time the grammys regained some credibility but there are lots of great albums out there that never get any exposure.
Arcade fire ares uper good. However, I'm surprised they were nominated for a Grammy, what with being self congratulatory back slaping bag of shullshit that it is "I won a Grammy, my exec said would!"
For once in over 15 years, the Grammys finally realized good music. I was expecting Lady Gaga to win since Eminems terrible album Recovery won best rap album (HIGO was 50 times better).
I bought Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, listened to it once, didn't like it at all and it's been on the floor of my car, getting stepped on and fucked up ever since... but yeah, hey, give them a fuckin' grammy.
@phantom5691 I know right. He must be high if he thinks they became legendary that night. They became legendary the moment Funeral was released to the world
All you people talking about how all the other artists nominated "don't have any talent", you need to stop being haters and appreciate what they do, just because you don't like pop or rap or country music doesn't mean you have to say that all of them suck. If you're saying that Eminem has no talent, seriously, have you even listened to his music? It's not based on popularity--some artists are just popular BECAUSE they're good.
All you fucking idiots talking shit about Arcade Fire must be mentally ill. Funny how a band can be terrible when all in the same year, for the same album they win 2 Juno's for best album and best alternative album, 2 Brit awards for best international album and best international group. Did I mention they were also nominated for Grammy's in their last two albums? Put that in your pipe and smoke it, fuckers.
Just because you don't know who a band is doesn't mean that there bad. I freaking love Arcade Fire and they deserve to win, Not freaking overrated Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.
Lazy Cerebellum,Arcade Furor, M and Ms, elevator music has now fully escaped the elevators and won the hearts and minds of the docile masses everywhere. Time to move to the deep woods, even if it's only with a toothbrush, a walkman and a tape of Hunters and Collectors greatest hits.
@FourPointt Orchestrated versions of "I'm Slim Shady" can be heard,(or eagerly awaited) in the elevators of very tall buildings.(formerly known as skyscrapers.) MBA-types and other hardened go-getters report that the melody provides them with a strong jolt of mental alertness and a weakening of the inhibitions, clearly an advantage when making those crucial power-point presentations in the conference rooms, at altitude, closest to their God.
Love this band. Just a bunch of drum-beatin' office clerks goin' "a bit crazy" on a long weekend. Totally original. Fabulous. I'm spoiled. Can never listen to Shane McGowan, Robert Smith or Edith Piaf again. And what's more I don't care. thanks Arcade Furor.
Did anyone else notice how Arcade fire Doesn't give any care for this to much? Nor did they expect it. They have no care for the interviews in which case one of those was literally a 1 sentence interview. That is why Iove them . They would rather play the music that they love and made than to stand at a mic and say thank you here and there. Even with this they would rather play another song than to be the spotlight.
I hope they never change......never since you can't fix perfect :)
Haha i'm gonna be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I got to witness the day Arcade Fire became a LEGENDARY band, and justice was served for one night during the grammy's :P
When are people going to realize that Album of the Year isn't just about popularity and album sales. Lady Gaga can stutter (Ale-ale-alejandro, p-p-p-p-poker face, ju-ju-just dance), Katy Perry shoots fireworks and whipped cream out of her boobs, Eminem is just plain angry, and well...I can't think of anything bad to say about Lady A. The Grammy's celebrate all types of music and I am SO glad they have looked past the generic pop movement and have seen the talent that I see in Arcade Fire.
Somebody pointed out that everyone wants to feel like THEIR taste is the centre of the world, and want affirmation that they have the "correct taste". Have people forgotten that art is subjective and different music has different value to different people? Thank god we don't live in a monoculture.
@klee1384 trust me, it's not---it's way too green. words are not universally regarded as words until they have matured. in most settings, if you use the word "relatable," you sound dumb. maybe in twenty years you won't, but for now, stay away from it. i wouldn't, though, go as far as to say that "relatable" is a nonce-formation---it will likely, eventually, be in common use (it's being on dictionary(dot)com suggests this---, but, for now, it is a word that makes one sound uneducated.
@pausebeforeviewtube Pardon me for butting in here. "Relatable" is most definitely a word. I've never heard of words "maturing" but people have been known to. It's something you should consider, before condemming people who are more literate than yourself. And invest in a decent dictionary and a dose of humility while you're at it.
@hugosalarm Of course "relatable" is a word. "Chillax" is a word. They are, however, relatively new words (the former from the mid-1900s, the latter from around 2000). Though some new words are accepted rather quickly, words like these (because of their strange linguistic origins) are accepted more slowly, and are often deemed wrong, informal, or silly in formal settings. "Reliable" was one such word; now it is accepted, but it used to be like "relatable."
@pausebeforeviewtube Your contention was that "relatable" was not a word. It is used in all manner of formal writings and everyday speech in particular social circles. "Chillax" was restricted to urban dictionaries and is virtually obsolete.(Less Funk than Wagnell). And where would a professor emeritus of pomp such as yourself hang out to hear such a word? Like the protagonist in "Bonfire of the Vanities" your Mercedes has obviously veered off into the wrong neighborhood.
Arcade Fire cannot be even remotely compared to the nominations or the beatles so far. They are not just different.... but revolutionary. Hopefully this is the change we are looking for. And Eminem????? when was the last time he thought outside of his own problems. And Katy Perry, Lady Antebellum and lady gaga are jus not up to this
@akira543 You make it sound so mutually exclusive. There are many artist who are popular AND talented. Arcade fire was chosen for the solely because the grammy voting team was tired of Gaga and Eminem winning all the grammys.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
First of all to the person below who compared Arcade Fire to the Beatles WTF If I knew you Id bitch slap you for even thinking they are remotely even close to The Beatles
Second I gave them a try, seriously I listened to every single song and they sucked, and I love Indie music over mainstream any day but seriously they suck
If you are like me the 99% of people who still dont get/know/or care about Arcade Fire thumb this up
@Justdivine7 geezus! stop shitting on my soul man, that's fine if YOU don't like arcade fire, but this is real indie music, and it takes true talent.
but i'm surprised, you didn't care for anything off from funeral? didn't like wake up, neon bible, no cars go etc. that sounds crazy to me but wtf, to each is own right?
ps. if you don't know about arcade fire beware of hipsters, they will kill you hahaha.
@Justdivine7 You're right. arcade fire is nowhere near the beatles...they experiment with new sounds and rely on pure musical talent instead of pitch correction. they dont buy into wearing rediculous costumes or hiring back up dancers just to get attention. they had to earn their place by starting out in shitty nightclubs and working their way up to the top from nothing....
just like the beatles didnt do....oh wait.....
really? you must ONLY listen to the beatles #1. god you piss me off.
arcade fire=modern day beetles. and to the haters, af makes music, eminem talks fast, and gaga, well, she's clearly in it to make alot of money. oh and btw, when i first heard arcade fire i thought it sounded weird and i thought it was dumb but one day i just listened to alot of their songs and i was blown away, i guess what i'm trying to say is give them a chance, you will probably love it too
@ahisrealyoffthechain beAtles. not beetles. :) and i totally agree, although i feel like Gaga might have more heart in it than people give her credit for. I feel like she tries hard to entertain people, instead of just being a slut and trying to get on TMz as much as possible just to get a rep :/
People are starting to realize that talent does not mean a bombshell of a babe hanging from a rope lip-syncing while a recording of some mysterious band is playing in the back digitally corrected a million times.
That's why Arcade fire won. Its a band playing various instruments, and playing all their own compositions etc... Not all this corporal crap we see these days.
I've know of AF. it is complete crap to even get a nomination for the grammy's is an insult to everyone who makes original music. their songs are full of cliches and they seem more focused on entertaining the crowd as opposed to making half decent music. anyone who thinks that they are original due to the fact that they use cellos and violins are retarded, sometimes it seems they try to be different just as to not seem mainstream. a totally hipster attitude that relays nothing but poor image
@Bozzy83 people that are whining have never heard good music before. I never thought anything could be better then Ok Computer in our Generation, but the Suburbs is, it's a musical masterpiece and deserved to win.
@Bozzy83 is all you can muster is that i am "soooo" far beyond retarded its not even funny? christ its like im talking to a valley girl. is that how u talk normally? if so i feel sorry for your friends. ps im pretty sure you meant to type "say" and not "sat"
@jleebroman thanks for the correction ....your previous comment didnt need a more sophisticated reply believe me... Valley Girl ?? lol i like that - i believe your musical taste can be put in the same genre .....
OMG .. i just read you commelnt again ... and i have to say ..... YOU ARE SOOO RETARTED ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ... just dont embaress yourself anymore please .. go write comments like that on JB, Lady Gaga and the like...
@Bozzy83 this will be my last response.No, its not because you've bested me, nor that your wit has swayed me to your side, it is because you have begun to bore me.I do not consider myself the "Troll" in this situation because you were the one who responded to my original comment.Think of this like a room where people shout out their opinions, you acknowledged mine and I replied like we were conversing.Now I bid you adieu, in hopes that you better yourself in the art of conversing.
@jleebroman i love how people always fall back on OMG ARCADE FIRE IS TEWTALLY HIPSTER! like that's the argument winner. calling people retarded for liking something YOU don't just shows your ignorance.
I bet you've never listened to anything beyond "Wake Up. I bet you never listened to Backseat or Tunnels #1. The reason why people are so blown away by cellos and violins is because they are talented enough to pull together an ENTIRE ORCHESTRA for their songs, something eminem could never do.
This album is mediocracy at its finest. I don't know how they beat out Eminem and Lady Gaga. Granted, I'm not a hater of "Indie" type of music (my favorite bands are SSP & Metric), but an advocate of pure talent and quality in music. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences nomination committee must have been full of Indie fans this year because it's really puzzling to me how they won.
I love Arcade Fire, and have since Funeral. It's so great to see such a talented group of people be recognized for their work. Those other cry babies can have their gagas and biebers. I'll take Arcade Fire any day.
As much as i dislike indie rock, it's soo good to see a band that actually plays their own instruments on stage win something for a change, although month of may was a very catchy song
I didn't watch the Grammys but found out AF won when watching the news at the gym...I was actually pretty shocked...not cos I thought they shouldn't have won, but that the Grammys was cool enough to give them the award in the first place.
@COGOFWAR117 how is he more talented? Arcade fire actually plays instruments with strings and notes and actually sing with vocal chords, not just yell and talk about the same thing every single song like eminem. he talks about how hard his life is every song even though he's making millions of dollars now...
@TheReluktantDisko Yeah, they found ways to make instruments like violins, chellos, accordions, hurdy gurdys, french horns and organs work with rock music. They don't just use guitars, drums and keyboards like most other bands do. They're musical geniuses!
My brother says about the only instrument that they haven't used yet are the BAGPIPES! Haha! Maybe they will someday, because with this music group, ANYTHING is possible!
@TheReluktantDisko Arcade are middle class suburbs and eminem is trailer trash from detroit.I'm pretty sure eminem had to prove more then rich middle class suburb kids.I'm not an eminem fan just that I see the whole truth from both sides.
Im not sure why people are surprised about arcade fire winning. They were up against eminem, and lady gaga? are u kdding me, those two groups are jokes
@amallica Katy Perry is more of a joke than Lady Gaga. I'm happy for the Arcade Fire -- I'm sure there is a long time coming... but Lady Gaga is quite the artist herself.
@amallica lol u stupid fucking cunt, eminem and lady gaga a group?? dumb bitch... also, u might wanna check ur grammar, "those two groups are jokes"??? the only thing thats a joke is ur grammar u fuckin dumbass
Great victory for one of the best bands around right now. All these people who are bleating about them winning need to expand their music tastes past the charts.
Arcade Fire are a band who people will still be listening to in 20 years time. These divs who know nothing about music probably won't even be listening to Lady Gaga within 2 years. Likely because her career will be dead by that point and she won't be the in thing any more
Everybody knows Canadians don't make real music (see Celine Dion). Arcade Fire should not have won the grammy for best album. It belongs to someone American, like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry.
@toocool4comm3650 ..If you don't think CANADIAN"S make real music ...then you don't know ANYTHING about the music industry.Lets see...Neil Young, Shania Twain,Brian Adams,The Guess Who,Bachman Turner Overdrive,3 Dog Night,Nickleback,and whole lot more.American's aren't the only people with music talent, you must be in your teens to say such dumb things!!!!
@chango222sw Just because they play Rock, you don't consider them Canadian artists,Chango?? You might not like them but they're music is good, just like all the rest.
@toocool4comm3650 Whoa" too cool," keep your gloves up otherwise you'll continue to get a barrage of left hooks and right crosses. Canadians make real music alright, but by and large it's really awful: nationalistic rah-rah--Tragically Hip, insipid--Brian Adams or take you pick,-- or abysmal rip-offs of far superior bands-- Nickelback,Rush or take your pick. Nationality is irrelevant, talent isn't. And David Bowie champions AF? He hasn't had any cred since the summer of '83 (Serious Moonlight)
@Xenogamer777 u cant compare the restaurant and music industry ... mc donalds is cheap food while music albums are almost the same price for any artist...however..i do agree that ...talent shouldnt be measured by popularity or sales figures..
@Stefandurr Your entire fucking comment was telling me how much you wanted me to like your shitty music you dumb fuck. You started calling me a 12 or 13 year old and young and stupid because I didn't like this music. You said "You'll grow up one day and learn to appreciate quality music or BIG music" what's that supposed to mean? you obviously are implying that you don't want me to offend AF, DUH....you can't even comprehend your own comments after you type them.
Exclude Young, Mitchell, (joni, not Kim,) and Cohen and English-speaking Canada has one of the most embarrassing musical legacies in the industrialized world. Inevitable that it would culminate in this perfect marriage of hyper-blandness: Arcade Beiber and the Grammys. Curse you, Andy Kim. George W. myself, and legions of Tea Partiers were pullin' for Auntie Bedlam but alas, it weren't to be. Throw another log on the fire.
At least those deciding who gets a Grammy seem to be ACTUALLY LISTENING to the music. That hasn't happened since the 1970s. It's one reason the 70s music was so good!!!
whos arcade fire? what have they done? oh u no, album topped the charts in 10 countries, sold out stadium shows around the world including maddison square. sang with Bowie and U2. were one of the top billed bands for 2007 glastonbury, one of the biggest music festivals in the world. but you no, they dont deserve it cause gaga is da best 4eva

@FourPointt Orchestrated versions of "I'm Slim Shady" can be heard,(or eagerly awaited) in the elevators of very tall buildings.(formerly known as skyscrapers.) MBA-types and other hardened go-getters report that the melody provides them with a strong jolt of mental alertness and a weakening of the inhibitions, clearly an advantage when making those crucial power-point presentations in the conference rooms, at altitude, closest to their God.

Love this band. Just a bunch of drum-beatin' office clerks goin' "a bit crazy" on a long weekend. Totally original. Fabulous. I'm spoiled. Can never listen to Shane McGowan, Robert Smith or Edith Piaf again. And what's more I don't care. thanks Arcade Furor.
hugosalarm 1 year ago
Did anyone else notice how Arcade fire Doesn't give any care for this to much? Nor did they expect it. They have no care for the interviews in which case one of those was literally a 1 sentence interview. That is why Iove them . They would rather play the music that they love and made than to stand at a mic and say thank you here and there. Even with this they would rather play another song than to be the spotlight.
I hope they never change......never since you can't fix perfect :)

When are people going to realize that Album of the Year isn't just about popularity and album sales. Lady Gaga can stutter (Ale-ale-alejandro, p-p-p-p-poker face, ju-ju-just dance), Katy Perry shoots fireworks and whipped cream out of her boobs, Eminem is just plain angry, and well...I can't think of anything bad to say about Lady A. The Grammy's celebrate all types of music and I am SO glad they have looked past the generic pop movement and have seen the talent that I see in Arcade Fire.

Somebody pointed out that everyone wants to feel like THEIR taste is the centre of the world, and want affirmation that they have the "correct taste". Have people forgotten that art is subjective and different music has different value to different people? Thank god we don't live in a monoculture.

Arcade Fire - finally getting the recognition they deserve
FreeOJ49 1 year ago
@klee1384 trust me, it's not---it's way too green. words are not universally regarded as words until they have matured. in most settings, if you use the word "relatable," you sound dumb. maybe in twenty years you won't, but for now, stay away from it. i wouldn't, though, go as far as to say that "relatable" is a nonce-formation---it will likely, eventually, be in common use (it's being on dictionary(dot)com suggests this---, but, for now, it is a word that makes one sound uneducated.
pausebeforeviewtube 1 year ago
@pausebeforeviewtube Pardon me for butting in here. "Relatable" is most definitely a word. I've never heard of words "maturing" but people have been known to. It's something you should consider, before condemming people who are more literate than yourself. And invest in a decent dictionary and a dose of humility while you're at it.
hugosalarm 1 year ago
@hugosalarm Of course "relatable" is a word. "Chillax" is a word. They are, however, relatively new words (the former from the mid-1900s, the latter from around 2000). Though some new words are accepted rather quickly, words like these (because of their strange linguistic origins) are accepted more slowly, and are often deemed wrong, informal, or silly in formal settings. "Reliable" was one such word; now it is accepted, but it used to be like "relatable."
pausebeforeviewtube 1 year ago
@pausebeforeviewtube Your contention was that "relatable" was not a word. It is used in all manner of formal writings and everyday speech in particular social circles. "Chillax" was restricted to urban dictionaries and is virtually obsolete.(Less Funk than Wagnell). And where would a professor emeritus of pomp such as yourself hang out to hear such a word? Like the protagonist in "Bonfire of the Vanities" your Mercedes has obviously veered off into the wrong neighborhood.

@Justdivine7 You're right. arcade fire is nowhere near the beatles...they experiment with new sounds and rely on pure musical talent instead of pitch correction. they dont buy into wearing rediculous costumes or hiring back up dancers just to get attention. they had to earn their place by starting out in shitty nightclubs and working their way up to the top from nothing....
just like the beatles didnt do....oh wait.....

Great victory for one of the best bands around right now. All these people who are bleating about them winning need to expand their music tastes past the charts.
Arcade Fire are a band who people will still be listening to in 20 years time. These divs who know nothing about music probably won't even be listening to Lady Gaga within 2 years. Likely because her career will be dead by that point and she won't be the in thing any more
