Whether you like or or not, the band went for it and doesn't give a fuck. Edit (03/12/20): I listened to this album while recovering from a major surgery. I can no longer listen to Dallas without thinking about waking up in the middle of the night alone and in pain, and calling a nurse to administer morphine so I can go back to sleep. Or looking in the mirror at my giant scar, tracing down along the staples, and thinking that no one will ever find me attractive again. They say the most important albums are the ones that get you through your life's worst lows. In this case I have to agree. This album is very important to me, and I hope it helps out some of you guys too. Bumping to classic tier.Godspeed You!

Practically dripping with resentment and anger, but with a touch of grace that makes it especially chilling. Highlights are the title track and Your Friends Are Gone.Coldplay ParachutesColdplay Viva la Vida or Death and All His FriendsCompany Of Thieves Running From A GambleThis is absolutely superb indie rock right here. Not only are the songs original and interesting, but they pack a punch not many bands of this genre can pull off, not to mention the singer is absolutely phenomenal.

Whether you're listening from the perspective of the single being released in 2016 or just listening from the perspective of Loveless being the second track on the album, nothing else on the album even comes close and it's a little disappointing.

These people saying that other people don't like this because it's "fashionable" to hate on Arcade Fire need a reality check.
