I'm seeing the Arcade Fire tonight in London, and wanted to know the Crappers' opinion of them. I saw them in Brixton in March, and they were amazing then. They're more familiar with the new songs now, so I'm expecting tonight to be even better.

They`re a good fun band. I like the majority of their stuff. Should be a good gig if the crowd is right

Intervention is my song of the year thus far.

I only have the 'Funeral' album and I think it's pretty good. I have not heard much more of their stuff.
They are playing at the 'Big Day Out' in January which I'm going to. So I will most likely see them if they are not clashing with Rage Against The Machine or Billy Bragg.

Whilst I don't think Neon Bible as a whole is as good as Funeral, there are some excellent tracks on there, like "Keep The Car Running", "Intervention", "Black Wave/Bad Vibrations", "No Cars Go" and "My Body Is A Cage". They didn't do the last one of those the last time I saw them, hopefully they'll play it tonight.

Been a fan for many moons, but some how I often forget the fact. Weird I know. But I love Funeral, and more so the Neon Bible(largely because of Intervention, probably connects with me as my friend works at a church, oh and I do too der).

These guys are amazing, Neon Bible's one of the best releases of this year. One of the more brilliantly original bands out there these days.

Although I don't own any albums of theirs, (I plan to rectify that this winter), I think they are really damned good. I enjoy No Cars Go a lot.

are they another emo band? They're not anything NEAR emo. They're an indie rock band.

The venue sucked, but Arcade Fire were fantastic. They even did "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)", "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" and "(Antichrist Television Blues)", which they didn't do the last time I saw them. They finished on "Wake Up" too, which is a better ending than "Neon Bible" was.

Good band, though I think they're slightly overrated. I didn't like the second album much either.
And Win Butler cannot sing a NOTE in the live situation. His scream is okay, but singing? Nope.

They're good but they're hugely overrated. I think The Klaxons, Kings of Leon and Bloc Party have all had better albums this year.
