I Don't Like Them As Much As I'm Supposed To

Arcade%20Fire I Don’t Like Them As Much As I’m Supposed To Arcade Fire Take some prog attitude, some wonky LP sleeves and some slow grinding riffs and whaddya got? You got the Arcade Fire (remember! It’s not THE Arcade Fire… *slaps wrists*). Now, Arcade Fire find themselves in a very unique position in the world… notably… every man and his dog absolutely adores them. Bruce Springsteen loves them. U2 love them. David Bowie love them. There lies the problem.
Where many feel that Ver Fire are superior to your average indie band, it still remains that has-beens like Bono and The Boss love ‘em. For me, that does your credentials no good. Indeed, it only serves to prove what I’ve always thought: they’re a bit dull. For a band with ‘fire’ in their name, they seem to lack all punch and vigour, instead preferring to plough a sturdy furrow in a very lumpen field. Sometimes, I don”t get bands… but I get this lot and just don’t dig them.
