Did the terribleness of Everything Now reveal to u the emptiness of Reflektor?

Gosh dunno bout u dummies + jr scientists

But for me, after fully insufflating the lukewarm vomit job that our former godconsciences of indie, the renowned af, did on their dud lp everything now, reflektors no fun anymore: it’s been revealed for what it was all along, a flashy yet ultimately dull sermon about smartphones, delivered by a gaudy gaggle of humorless northerners, who would rather we ignore their sanctimoniousness in favor of their (admittedly hilarious) appropriation of a shallow Mardi Gras fantasy of what some red nosed pale faced northerners imagine Real Live Mardi Gras must be like

across those two albums there's only one song i can remember that i wanted to hear many times. afterlife

FlamingGlobes · 11-22-2019, 02:20 PM

Bah. Not enough care. I have Funeral, Neon Bible and Suburbs from this band. Anything else is just gravy.

For the record, I didn't hate Everything Now, but it's definitely one of those things I forget exists for long stretches of time.

A very timely topic as we wind down 2019, bee tee dubs.

Porno tho

Arcade fire died after the Suburbs. 3 great albums, not too shabby

Reflektor and Afterlife are two awesome songs that I still cherish. I would add that Supersymtry ain't too bad. The rest indeed feels empty, especially reflecting back on the album.

Everything Now is a flaming pile of trash, kind of like the Pumpkins last album.. Shiney Bight whatever it was called.

I never got through reflektor and haven’t listened to a second of everything now. Kind of a staggering drop off considering how much I like the first three.

Eulogy · 11-29-2019, 11:28 AM

Similarly I never got through the national’s latest

Reflektor is pretty good and it's backloaded. If the whole album were as solid as Orpheus, Eurydice, Porno, Afterlife then it would be as good as anything else they'd released
