Things we are excited about: this.

You can listen to (and you have been able to listen to) two new Arcade Fire songs right here, right now. They are the 1st and 10th tracks from their new album, The Suburbs, and they are called "The Suburbs" and "Month of May", respectively.

You know, it's very easy to complain when a [beloved] band have undergone a minor or drastic sound change or sound progression, but the important thing to remember is that not only is this inevitable, but it's also necessary. If you like it, you should carry on listening and not worry about 'the old sound' or 'the minor shift in sound' as if your life partner has just had a sex change. And if you don't like it, well, get the fuck over it, because the old music still exists.
