the arcade fire, "arcade fire"
Oct. 4th, 2007 12:25 pmTheir debut EP manages to be wildly uneven with only seven tracks. It features "No Cars Go", which was re-recorded for Neon Bible, and boy did it need it, because the original version features a drummer who runs late on about half the measures. "The Woodlands National Anthem" is a terrible song, and there seems to be something about indie bands that are fronted by a husband and wife where the wife must be a horrible singer (see Sonic Youth for another example). "Headlights Look Like Diamonds" is the standout track of this disc. The EP was apparently engineered by someone with a massive hangover; the music sounds like it was played in a high school classroom. I would only recommend this to major TAF fans.
