The new Arcade Fire album "Pink Elephant" didn't crack the Top 200....does this matter?

I guess there have been allegations against the goofy looking lead singer? The title track from it sounded okay on SNL but who cares?

Yeah as you know I relistened to the first three NP albums and while I did find a few good tunes they’re nowhere near as good as I remembered and I’m going to just listen to “The Bleeding Heart Show” and probably nothing else from now on.

Everyone here also yacked about all the NP members’ solo projects all the time, I mean some of these guys like Rich B seemed to know that stuff all the way inside out.

I have given cursory background listens to both PFM and Banco at some point and suffice to say I don’t remember a fucking note. I could have been dead wrong. That Legion guy, the one who sent me METAMORFOSI in the first place (and I would never, ever have found it in ten trillion years without him) raved about Banco all the time. He also mentioned Area, who I’d forgotten. But I’m not going to fight you–I don’t really expect most people to love METAMORFOSI the way I did. For whatever reason, it just started nailing me one day and I never gave up on it. I still love to listen to it and would not change my rating.

He also talked all the time about Anekdoten, a Swedish band that had a hot violinist named Anna Sophie…something. I never got around to hearing them.
