So I think I like the new Broken Social Scene album better than the new Arcade Fire album. Neither are great, but BSS at least redeemed themselves for FORGIVENESS ROCK RECORD.
Arcade Fire, I really liked REFLEKTOR, though many did not, but it did have its clunky moments. This album flips the ratio of quality to clunky. I think there are only 4 songs I really enjoy, and only a couple that I think will last... "Electric Blue" and maybe "Creature Comfort", though the lyrics to it are WAY too obvious. So I don't hate it, but I don't like it all that much.
And if you don't like Creature Comfort, watch a Youtube of it live, as it improves the song about 75%.
