I've been trying to come up with something witty to post, but I can't
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 12:40 AM by rockymountaindem
Edit: Wait! I've got it! Everybody buy this album:

"Arcade Fire, "Neon Bible"

INDIE ROCK|Merge, released today

What's so impressive about Arcade Fire's second full-length album is that it arrives less than three years after the group debuted as a fully realized chamber-rock outfit.

Leading this master class in nailing the sophomore album, this Montreal collective's music is still about joy, sweat, celebration and wailing in unison. Emotion and melody meld uniquely in their songs, and this record - fronted mostly by Win Butler - is a series of giant inhales and exhales. The band goes big like nobody else, and "Keep the Car Running," "No Cars Go" and "The Well and the Lighthouse" explore that register with thoughtfully composed orchestrations and admirable exuberance.

But "Ocean of Noise" and the title track are understated, meditative and elegantly plain. The Arcade Fire could never be boring. Its quest in this operatic chamber-rock revolution is both noble and intoxicating." |Ricardo Baca

2. No way buddy
This is peak performance time. It's also that time of the night when I say that I should go to bed but I can't bring myself to do it. If had any drive in me I'd be working on an essay right now.

6. Personally..
I believe procrastination is next to cleanliness.

Sacred and pure... and if done correctly, hot.
