their new album has actually made them one of my favourite bands, i appreciate them far more than i ever did now i've heard the suburbs.

i'm yet to listen to the suburbs, funeral and neon bible are outstanding though. waiting til i get my laptop back til i listen to the suburbs. never really liked them much 'til i saw them sub to the chili's at leeds 07, they were fucking awesome and blew RHCP off the stage.

It took me a few listens, but I think I've warmed up to the new one. Kind of the same thing that happened with Neon Bible--wasn't really that big a fan at first but it grew on me kind of fast.

Sprawl II is great, as is City With No Children.

Liking The Subuurbs a lot, very enjoyable and probably a more sustainable direction than a second Funeral/Neon Bible.

I personally think The Suburbs maintains about the same (high) quality as Neon Bible and Funeral... I think we have actually stumbled on a rarity here.... a consistently great album producing band... now these are hard to come by these days...

On first listen, The Suburbs is already gaining "potential favorite release of this year" status...

Considering Funeral appeared great at first and then stumbled into regular amiability after ten listens, maybe this one is the opposite? I couldn't help but feel ridiculously bored during The Suburbs. Hopefully it'll grow into something interesting.

anyone else wish it was a little bit shorter? cut out some of the weaker tracks?

I honestly cannot stand Month of May, Half Light (1&2), or Empty Room.
Sprawl II and We Used To Wait are still fantastic though.

Month of May, Half Light II and Empty Room are my favorites :/
