Eevee you didn't know the meaning of Occident? I thought everybody know it.

I'd literally never heard that word before.


Anyway, Carly Rae + Charity tea events = the next song.

arcade fire // "empty room"

Arcade Fire have 13 songs remaining. #55 scores conatus // 10 Heroine // 10 lovesong // 9 Kxvk // 8 Lucas32 // 8 MP2K // 8 Kingfisher // 8 enxe // 8 holocene // 7.8 Eevee // 7.5 Suilen // 7.5 Ewan Chaos // 7 Vilppu // 6 Luigi // 6 Superpower // 6 Bloomers // 6 Superiore // 1.5 Average: 7.341

With an arresting intro of violins, the fast-paced "Empty Room" is the shortest song on The Suburbs, unless you count the reprise of the title track. The song finds second-lead vocalist Régine singing about loneliness and isolation with a baroque background similar to the preceding track, "Rococo". Best bit: The way it segues into "City With No Children" Best lyrics: "When I'm by myself I can be myself"

Empty Room, Wasted Hours and Rococo are the ****** trinity off the Suburbs. The latter better leave next.

[Eeveelution]

Empty Room is good but it's always felt kinda half-baked to me. Poor Connor, though.

The next one deserved top 10, Superiore

[enxe]

Good place. Not really a fan of this one.

[Vilppu]

Connie gave it a 10? Poor it.

And I will NOT tolerate this Rococo slander.

"Rococo" is about conformism of today's youth. The lyrics "they're singing rococo rococo" is mocking empty headed hipsters who sing along to that ridiculously catchy hook without knowing what the word means. Also, doesn't "they build it up just to burn them back down" kinda clock ATRL a bit? The song has baroque influences and was recorded in a church. It was also inspired by Régine Chassagne's Haitian heritage and she "asked for the strings to sound like mosquitoes attacking Frenchmen wearing fancy clothes in the jungle." Which is kinda weirdly accurate? Best bit: That hook! Best lyrics: "They’re moving towards you with their colors all the same / They want to own you but they don’t know what game"

MESS AT WASTED HOURS AND ROCCO LEAVING ALREADY

I was about to post too before they were getting songs removed that I wanna see some Arcade Fire out but not THESE songs ugh

[Superiore]

Yeah, not sorry about it. Won't be missed!

[Vilppu]

Like, I can understand why someone dislikes TBK or Joanna but Rococo does not deserve a score below a 6. I need answers.

[holocene]

Let's throw Kanye around a biT now.

[Superiore]

But seriously, these averages are so high that I guess the songs which I rated low were highly impacted by that? Makes sense?

[enxe]

Deserved better.
