The Suburbs?

They didn’t start the fire: They also don’t care much for shopping malls.

How to measure the expectations surrounding the new Arcade Fire album? Try this: I ran across an online poll asking voters to choose between that and Radiohead’s OK Computer … 10 days before the Arcade Fire record was released. Put another way, The Suburbs can’t simply exist as an enjoyable musical experience; it’s also gotta lower unemployment, bring peace to the Middle East and clean up the BP oil spill.
