REFLEKTOR

with and by Arcade Fire,
their fourth (or in my collection fifth) album
released in the end of 2013


Only on tracks like "Afterlife" or "Normal Person" I partly recognize my former favourite band from 7-8-9 years ago. We seem to be some people who wonders if this is a lazy step further down, missing crazy nerve as well as beautiful lines - or if we just can't hear the creativity in their transformation... Anyhow the whole Reflector of course has grown some stars after seven listenings.


Appreciate the bands initiative of making a "double album" rather than too many tracks in a row. Still this actual material would work enough as one record, if some numbers should'ven been stripped off. In other words same story as for almost every other double ambition in the world. Accordingly it would've been nice with more shorter pieces (in the relatively superficial spirit of "Flashbulb Eyes") to make the long songs deeper and more majestic.
