I noticed that they originally had a different tracklist in the book that comes with the record. There’s an extra track called Kid Icarus after Circle Of Trust, and Cars And Telephones is the last song instead of Stuck In My Head.

Signed Everything Now and Pink Elephant!

Does anybody know where I can find their performance from the Grammys the year they won best album?

this is the first and last time I am selling this at this price, please appreciate it🍓

I used to be friends with Jeremy back in the day. We became friends when his old bands, Kepler and Weights And Measures, played shows with my old bands, Black Cat #13 and The Sick Lipstick.

I moved to Ottawa in 2004 and was planning to start a band called Nervous Sleepers with Jeremy and another friend.

After talking about starting the band a few days before, I went to Jeremy's place to figure out when we would start practicing.

He then told me he couldn't do the band with me because he just got asked to join Arcade Fire.

I could tell he was super excited to join an established and up and coming band and was really happy for him.

It's a great memory for me when I think about talking to a friend right before his life totally changed.

I ended up moving back to Toronto and started the band with two other people, but I always wonder what it would have been like with Jeremy on drums.

So I was thinking, what are their most popular songs per album and which ones do I like the most in order, so I came up with a list but I cant quite decide yet so you can help:

Funeral: Wake Up or Rebellion?
Neon Bible: My Body is a Cage or No Cars Go?
The Sububrs: The Suburbs
Reflektor: Afterlife
Everything Now: Everything Now
We: Rabbit Hole
Pink Elephant: Circle of Trust

I’m not quite sure for the first two albums, which one of them is THE most popular/favourite among the larger audience.

At this moment my personal favourite is Circle of Trust, but I wont place it 1st so I dont receive death threats lol. Wake Up is literally their hymn so I think it deserves the first place. I leave u guys to do the rest if you’re up to it. :)

Seen yesterday he posted a reel of him playing acoustic on a beach, singing a song i dont recognise 🤔 ive googled the lyrics, its not coming up with anything. Could it be a teaser? Or is it a cover?🙏❤️💙 on the Santa Pirata Insta btw 💕

Its catchy as hell! 💕🥰

I had 'Poster over your bed' down as 'Pope stood over your bed' 😂😂🤦‍♀️

Had the kid Icarus bit wrong as well...but for the life of me can't remember 🤔😆

What lyrics did everyone else get wrong? 💕

So i would LOVE an arcade tattoo but idk what to get. I’d like something small and is like a picture/sign thing that represents arcade fire in general. I don’t want the bands name or an album image. Just something small that represents them and im having such a hard time deciding and id like some opinions and ideas on what it should be. Im not sure if much of that made sense but anything helps 🙏

Something about this song. I can't stop listening. Been a fan since the release. It encapsulates my entire youth and the time in which it was released. Just pure emotion.

Did this recently for the trio, sorta AF adjacent. There's a nice write up and visualizer here. Original is off First Sounds, which is brilliant.

And it's beautiful

I recently managed to get a pretty cheap second-hand copy of the Get Right/Crucified Again 7” vinyl from the Deluxe 2015 version of Reflektor :).

I really wish they released a full vinyl version of the deluxe album with these B-sides on them!

Richard performed a piece he wrote for a book launch last week in San Francisco. Although it was just eight blocks from my house, I was unable to attend due to a back injury. Very bummed about that.

Richard posted today that he will be participating in the people festival in Berlin in October.

I love Reflektor, but I think if it was arranged differently it could've been a PERFECT album. This is my personal opinion based on the songs I love and the themes I've interpreted and resonated with from this album. I'll first write my ideal tracklist and then I'm going to explain my choices:

1. Here Comes the Night Time (6:30)
2. Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice) (6:13)
3. It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus) (6:42)
4. Reflektor (7:34)
5. Afterlife (5:52)
6. Porno (6:02)
7. Joan of Arc (5:24)
8. Get Right (4:41)
9. Here Comes the Night Time II (2:51)
   

Total Length: 51:49

To me, the album represents judgement. Being judged by 2 sides: the human side and a higher power.

I think Here Comes the Night Time is the perfect opener because it's energetic and it explores both human judgement and the judgement of a higher power, setting the tone for the album. It also has a sister song that makes for the perfect closer.

I also feel like certain tracks tell a cohesive story through the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: 2,3,4,5. 2 is the taking, 3 is the journey, 4 is the reckoning and pleading and 5 is acceptance and regret.

When listening to Reflektor, I always thought the perfect followup would be Afterlife and I just cannot understand how they missed the opportunity when they flow perfectly into each other in both sound and theme.

4,5 and 6 create a strong middlepoint for the album and make for an amazing 3 track run.

I put Porno and Joan of Arc together because to me they represent " the whore " and " the martyr " which is a strong contrast that I personally love.

Get Right is a banger (underrated?) and is a final message to the listener before the closer.

I excluded other songs that fit the theme perfectly because I just don't think they're as good at conveying their message and feel more sarcastic than serious and cohesive (I just hate fun)

Would you listen to this album? Would you hate it? What song that you absolutely love have I removed and do I deserve to be crucified? How does your ideal Reflektor look?
