Its like toys in cereals man. Collect all 8 album covers in boxes of Frosties and send off for a free Tony the Tiger pencil case.

I'll be buying Frosties from now on instead of Corn Flakes to get my Tony the Tiger pencil :). It would be cool though if you collect all eight album covers and send them away and get 2 free gig tickets.

Ready to Start is very encouraging so i'm looking forward to the album, not looking to the near-Radiohead amounts of hype though.

Funeral is golden.

Love these guys, they just did an impromptu show in Toronto.

can suburbs leak already shit.

im kinda loving them right now :) wish they would come to aus soon though

Wow, 'The Suburbs' has grown on me immensely.

Yes. Leak you fucker!!

I want da leak.
Gimme.

F**k the leak. I can't wait to walk into my local music shop, get my hands on the album, bring it home, take off the plastic wrapping (hopefully it'll be a cardboard sleeve), put the cd into my cd player, hit play and...

I always have that feeling, "NO! I'm gonna resist the leak and buy it on the day of release"

It never happens, I always give in to the leak. And I don't expect this album to be any different. Leak already!!

did this leak yet? do we have a review?

well....that's all 8 covers

I like how totally different they all are.

I think the point in having 8 covers that are all basically the same is to illustrate the simplicity and universality of suburban life, not to mention how ****ing boring it is to live in the suburbs.

How can it be boring? One house has a ****ing palm tree!

Almost say them at a festival a few days ago, but I missed it. Apparently they played well, though. Plus, i haven't heard much of their material.

i really hope those aren't the real 8 covers ha. How am i supposed to know which one i have when they all look the same?

i don't really have that association. ever since i got really into music i have been able to download most i want(last 10 or so years).

I may be really uninformed / out of step here, but when does the new album come out... I've been enjoying the heck out of Funeral and neon Bible lately... getting this new one will be an absolute certainty.

:laughing:

I really like the album covers. I want the palm tree!

google is your friend, but i think august 3.

August 2nd or 3rd, depending on whether you're UK or US.. I think. I want a leak ffs!!

Cool! Budget wise, I can't afford to buy right now, but there is always my best friend, the torrent... :-)

30sec bits from all the tracks. this is prolly gonna go down soon...

I like them, their singer is pretty annoying though.

What's annoying about the singer? I actually quite like his voice and consider it one of the most attractive features of the band's sound...

Every time I see a new post in here, I expect a leak. :(

I wanna see a leak too!!! But I guess I just disappoijnted you again, so I'll leave the thread alone now...:-)

I agree though, Win's voice is fine. Complements the band really well.

I came so damn close to getting tickets to their MSG show :( Turns out I'm going to be in North Carolina! Damn it! I'm missing Modest Mouse, Kurt Vile/Real Estate, Interpol and now Arcade Fire for this stupid vacation!

:(

They've been getting some good press on the non-terrestrial radio stations here in the States.

Very excited.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a sjit about the new album? Surely there are others.

Nope, it's just you. I'm so excited.

I'll hear it, but I'm not exactly counting down the days.

probably the only one posting in the arcade fire thread...

I'm not having it clog up New Posts for nothing! Damn right i'm gonna post and Alfred responded so that disproves you point.

but he gives enough of a shit to hear it.

i may be getting a leak right now. will confirm/deny later.

success! a real leak.
