The Suburbs - probably my favorite song off the album, unfortunately i find it quite mediocre(cunningstunt this grew!).
Ready To Start - save for bit in middle and outro, loops into zzzz
Modern Man - bleh nothing about this keeps me entertained.
Rococo - nothing going on ro CO CO CO CO CO CO
Empty Room - EXCITING INTRO THEN i got nothin.
City With No Children - are you serious arcade fire? where are the kickass arrangements?
Half Light I - candidate for worst song they have released.
Half Light II (No Celebration) - candidate for worst song they have released's brother.
Suburban War - initially thought this was best song from the album. this is just another song that goes no where. i think i liked it because the backing loop is prettier than most others on this album.
Month Of May - too many win butler vocals in this. really annoying.
Wasted Hours - kill me now, nominee 2.
Deep Blue - one of the better songs. doesn't have me itching to hear again.
We Used To Wait - at least this song starts well.
Sprawl (Flatland) - no redeeming qualities.
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) - definition of mediocrity.
The Suburbs (continued) - i think they were hoping no one would hear this as it's at the end of the album.
they are using the same downbeat tempo as most the songs on the other albums. the difference is, the older stuff actually had cool little flourishes(eargasms). for the most part these songs just kind of meander and put me to sleep. also it feels like these songs are just shittier versions of older material(samey).
they did one or both of these things:
a. got lazy
b. overthought it
EDIT: voting poor these kids get graded on a curve.
