The Critics' Darlings


The Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible is on many a critic’s list for best records of 2007. I have seen The Arcade Fire perform on television and all I could think was why do they need so many goddamned people?! It looks like a political movement, not a band. Okay, in a moment of weakness, I picked it up but my position hasn’t changed. Maybe I’m too much of a philistine to appreciate this fine example of orchestral pop but I just can’t do it. I’ve tried! --J
