im not really an indie kid so no idea why i keep making these threads but i thought this one seemed kinda apt
both released 'big' sounding second albums
both thought to be conduits (of a sort) for 'the times we live in' and have been praised for their channelling of the tumultous political climate without being explicit (or woefully clunky and pussified like bloc party) about it
lastly, when i hear both their last albums, i hear a kind of sensual uplift in them which i really like

Arcade Fire. Don't really see the point of the other lot.

Return to Cookie Mountain > Neon Bible, but Arcade Fire > TVotR

TVotR, because they don't sound like Coldplay with more instruments and worse tunes.

TVotR - you know, AR Kane did it so much better.

I've never bought that type of argument.

I mean the "x sucks because y does it better" argument, to be clear.

I'm not a massive TVotR fan, but for me they win by a million miles. Just "Satellite" off Young Liars justifies their superiority for me.

TVotR are better than A.R Kane, probably. And I really like "i".

69 is better than i though. that same drum machine sound on most of i hasnt dated so well.

Anyway, there's only room for one "TV On The Radio" around these parts:
