WE is an end to end hit. The first time I listened, it felt brand new and familiar all at the same time.
Definitely a solid album
I haven't seen too many interviews with Win, but he seems like a modest and cool dude -- someone I would want around the dinner table at my fantasy 'music star' party.
Check out the Apple Music interview with him that was done recently
He is
Until he steals your basketball haha
Hell ya
All time fantasy music star party, Lennon, Win, Bowie, Springsteen, Weller and Noel Gallagher to keep em going
It's so nice to see Regine Chassagne appear relaxed and having fun during this interview. Typically in the past, she always looked uncomfortable and let Win do most of the talking.
Now you know why, Kaesemeyer.
@@agi2160 Did you...did you just make a joke about Win's sexual misconduct allegations?
I firmly believe that if it was not for Regine, AF would basically be Lumineers. Win gets attention because he's the big loud front guy, but she's what makes AF arcade FIRE
Lumineers make totally different kind of music but i get your point
Not just her but the other band mates too, jermey, Richard, Tim and will, they wouldn't be arcade fire without them
@@lilicooper9204 It's criminal to mention Lumineers in one sentence with Arcade Fire. Yes I did that too now so shoot me
Another Grammy here we go
Refinishing the deck today with my 17 yr old son, whom I’d just restricted from the Internet for staying up to late talking with girls, sliding schoolwork and a general bad attitude. We listened to this amazing album while we worked through our day. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life.
Regine is an awesome artist. A wonderful stage presence.
You’re covering up misconduct
@@programmedpersona5611 And yours is a witch hunt.
@@eleonoradeane5170 😂 Did you bother to read the article?
@@programmedpersona5611 Did you?
@@programmedpersona5611 Balls Mahoney
Win, we know you're not kidding when you say you wanna get that first gig on the moon... You just better make sure you write your best damn song for it!
As Win once sung in EN; “those cool kids stuck the past…” Although their first three albums are masterpieces, I feel like their past three albums including WE are still ahead of their time. Soon people will realize the Reflektor is their best album, and one of the greatest albums of all time. WE is also really good and as time goes one, it will receive the credit it deserves.
so true!
I consider Reflektor to b their 3rd best ,, even ahead of The Suburbs
@@dadole9916 really? How do you rank them? Mine would be:
-Reflektor
-Neon Bible
-Funeral
-WE
-Everything Now
-The Suburbs
@@okssezmi1684 right now , for me , it's:
Neon Bible
Funeral
Reflektor
Everything Now
The Suburbs
WE
I wasn't impressed w WE at all .. I just didn't get it .. ..it just sounded like a computer algorithm making Arcade Fire music for Arcade Fire instead of themselves lol
WE is Amazing! Greetings from Brazil!!!
Son una hermosa dupla .saludos desde Argentina Buenos Aires
Earnest is the word I use for Win's lyrics. Honest and true.
I’ve always liked arcade fire but never really checked into them as far as interviews or anything other then streaming their music, they are undeniably talented. Certain music has this quality that even if you don’t like it you have to admit the talent. Arcade Fire can not be disputed but to be musical genius
Beatiful album !!!!
regine did not like when win talked about that unreleased song
It's hard to replicate the early feeling, innovation and novelty of Funeral and Neon, both of which are hard acts to follow. But We is a slight return to form, probably on a par with Suburbs.
🤣
I must be a weird one because Neon Bible and Funeral are not my favorites. I like a few songs from both albums, but cannot listen to the albums in its entirety.
Anything from "The Suburbs" and afterwards, I love. I can listen to the albums from beginning to end and put it on repeat again.
Though I'll admit, Reflektor is my #1.
WE comes 2nd. It's almost a tie for me. 😅
@@ameliarose3142 I don't think you are a weird one. I think most mainstream fans would agree with you. For them Suburbs is the benchmark.
@kev butterworth Actually it's an irrefutable objective metaphysical fact that is just as certain as death and taxes.
@kev butterworth No, it's a fact. Everyone else knows it except you and your "plenty" (aka yo mom).
You are fantastic, the best really active band right now. By Acropolis, I hope you mean the original one in Athens, Greece. Please do that! And please consider coming to Thessaloniki too!
2:26 great point.
I feel the comment about Lookout Kid was about the needledrop review.
BEST band
Fucking awesome x
Glasto 2014 was my intro to Arcade Fire... Reflektor is the best song
When does régine get to talk?????
I’m a critic. And I love this album.
Good for you
I dint knw yurll from montreal
Cool interview! But I find it hard to focus when theres a dude in the back laughing his ass off in the back
They would be Bush & Richie!
give us the fjm song!
Neon bible is a masterpiece
I disagree with Win’s opinion on everyone being a critic. We should ALL be critics of politics, art or any other human endervour. That is the wonderful thing about the internet. The voiceless now have a platform and can express any opinion they have. In the past only ‘elite’ critics of major newpapers and magazines had their critiques read. Now we all can contribute. Therefore Arcade Fire should just make the music they feel and love regardless of what people may say or write online.
I noticed that statement too. Why is he so afraid of or concerned with people's critiquing?
Regine is a fine looking woman. I have to admit it.
That paper ripping sound on the notifications hurt my ears.
I was hooked during Mountains Beyond Mountains when she recognizes the "dead shopping malls". I was a teen in the '80s and fell for the optimistic promise of capitalist prosperity . The AmeRican Dream was stolen and all that was left were vacancies.
Who _stole_ the American dream?
@@amerocker The affluent stashing 9 trillion dollars in the Gran Ceymen Islands. Venture capitalists that saddled U.S. Companies with tens of millions in artificial debt, using it as an excuse to move production overseas and eventuality bankrupting them all together. ( Singer, McCalls, North American Vanlines, Zenth, etc... Corperations that have "Headquarters " in Ireland that are nothing more than an empty office with a Voicemail hookup so they NEED not pay taxes. Paying employees poverty wages. Outsourcing.
We is a step up from the last subpar album for sure,but it`s nothing new not much of standouts on the album,it`s very generic,they wrote a lot of songs but only release these ones,i do hope there is an ep or something else to come out because this album is literal discount arcade fire
He doesn’t do in ears? How the hell do you hear yourself sing ?
Stage monitors.
FLAN!!!
Hmmmmmmmm
What a mighty loss for Win.
Very bad album
Is any of this good? If you have to question yourself then that tells you something.
Literally every artist ever goes through that
Paul McCartney panicked right before the release of Revolver because he thought the whole album was out of tune.
I don’t get how Win can be so anti-Trump and “Pro-women” but then do the things he does. Complete hypocrisy.
There's more confirmed anti women allegations against Win than against Trump that's the whole joke. Top tier irony.
The misconduct allegations have come out against butler
I believe in innocence until guilt is proven.
@@eleonoradeane5170 I mean like 4 different people have come out against him. By that logic, Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson are innocent.
I'm officially accusing you of misconduct right now so now you can't judge him 😮
ew. they’re both really creepy
☺😀😁😂😂
Noo they’re adorable
New album sucks. Arcade Fire is overrated hipster trash.
Why do you check out their albums if they are hipster trash? Kinda lame thing to do bro
@@MrShahid0072 I can't know it is hipster trash until I listen to it, right? You're not as clever as you think you are.
So I you voluntarily watch this video just to say that?
I "liked" your comment because it is your real opinion. Everyone can be a critic. I have not heard their new record nor am I too familiar with their songs.
I don't f+cking care.
