imagine waiting 4 years for a new single and then we get some black woman screeching over some lurching synth beat over a cheesy anti-trump song.

bad song

Well this sucks

I'm afraid to listen. Is it really that bad? What previous songs does it bear resemblance to?

2017 will be the year of artists to release shitty comeback albums

Literally nothing by them

>New LCD Soundsystem album almost finished
Oh shit.

only shitty liberal bands
the rest will keep actually making music instead of half-assed political statements that no one cares about

reminds me of Porno

>lurching synth

fantano leave

Please don't fuck up, grizzly bear and fleet foxes

This song is boring as fuck. Why did this song and the new Gorillaz song have to be so bad?

terrible
reflektor was shit too tho idk why y'all are suprised

@ slowdive

>doesn't know who Mavis Staples is
>probably claims to be patrician

Doesn't matter who she is, she sounds like shit and is very annoying. Just another black woman who thinks sounding loud and soulful and having a trendy name like Mavis Staples constitutes being a good artist.

are you serious

i mean no but the song was bad and who she is doesn't change that
always like a step too far

Literally what about the name "Mavis Staples" is trendy

"Trendy name" that her parents named her in 1939? Lol. Also I guess if you don't like black women you won't like anything with a black woman in it so it makes sense why you hate this.

Why wouldn't I be? I mean she's an icon in the music world. It's silly that people on this board will only look at the Sup Forums essential chart and think that's all there is to music and don't know about anything else yet claim to be patrician. You don't have to LIKE Mavis Staples, but you can't claim any type of superior music knowledge without knowing who she is.

I like plenty of things made by black women, just not this.
It's obvious.

She was born in 1939 and put out her first album in 1969.... How is anything about her trendy lmao y'all are jokes

mavis staples was cool 50 years ago when she recorded with the band but she adds absolutely nothing to this. kind of pretentious that arcade fire released this honestly. as if mavis staples is supposed to legitimize this shitty song.

It's better than the Gorillaz release. Hope that the new album doesn't sound like this, but for a standalone it isn't too bad.

For "Arcade Fire Donald Trump Song", it's pretty, uh, alright I guess. It's good.

retards always get the most (you)s
god bless the chan format for making the rational arguments comparitively unimportant

Because now there's a whole resurgence of soul and funk music so it's super trendy to have a very old soul singer on your song.

>You don't have to LIKE Mavis Staples, but you can't claim any type of superior music knowledge without knowing who she is.
if she has a wikipedia article then she is not worth knowing, not truly patrician

>only liberal bands
What other kind of band is there?

I think it sounds really good but the lyrics are shit

sounds like nine inch nails playing gold digger

it has the exact same vocal melody as gold digger by kanye west

MY FUCKING SIDES

this

they were never good faggot lol

LMAOOOOOOO this is 100% true. I knew it sounded familiar. Good fucking ear.
Also very true. So not only is this song absolute fucking horseshit, it also stole from an actually good song.

...

>the organ halfway through playing a long sustained chord

recycling ideas from neon bible, otherwise sounds nothing like arcade fire. total dog shit. i hope this isn't on the new album

hahaha

The time has come.

KEK

GAHBAGE

is arcade fire pro-pedophile?

>ever owning an Arcade Fire record

bye rddit

It doesnt really go anywhere. I need to hear it in the context of the full album.

I thought that was last year
>The Avalanches
>American Football
>AnCo

This is not top Arcade Fire tier, but it's ok. Idk why but I feel like I have heard this "I Gave You Power" melody before.

Way better than the Gorillaz song, tho.

pathetically impotent le drumpf song

also how the fuck do you release something this bad

I wouldn't mind the political overtones of this song if they would have just had more lyrics besides "I give you power! *insert vocal moan from black woman*". It just sounded flat and uninspired.

What's with all the big indie rock bands of the mid 00s and releasing shitty synthpop now?

>SUCKS

>aweful

I can't help but laugh at people who think art should be entirely removed from social commentary
Fucking autists I swear

This song sucks tho

>not being filled with awe at how bad this is
>>>leddit

I think dopey artists should be removed from social commentary because they're fucking embarrassing themselves and not saying anything interesting or new - and that's not even based on whether I disagree with their view.

You don't listen to uninteresting music do you? So why listen to uninteresting political commentary?

Sometimes I think it's insightful, sometimes it's bland. I won't know until I listen to it. Thinking musicians shouldn't ever approach the topic of politics because they're generally not experts is absurd because most people who do it, no matter their occupation, aren't really experts on it.

New Death Grips single - it's fucking aweful

imagine waiting for months for a new single and then we get some black man screeching over some lurching synth beat over a cheesy anti-trump song.

What even happened to Arcade Fire? Funeral was and is one of my favorite albums. Parts of it make me weak.

I can't get through Neon Bible, I've tried on numerous occasions. Never gave Reflektor a real chance because I don't like Neon Bible.

It's like everything that made me enjoy Funeral is just absent from anything else they've done.

What about The Suburbs? It's better than Neon Bible and I think that's as close to Funeral that they've ever gotten.

Maybe they were never that good to begin with.

Need to give it another go. I keep getting partway into it and just kind of shrugging it off.

That would be a possibility if this song sounded like any of their other works, but it doesn't.

lmao remember when Arcade Fire released Funeral and everyone lauded them because they were passionate and emotionally vulnerable and now they are making lame sterile dance music

It's Gold Digger

>vocal melody as gold digger by kanye west

>not knowing Ray Charles - I Got A Woman

triggered.

Right with ya. Funeral was amazing all the way through and was brimming with emotion and power, Neon Bible had a few great songs and I admire that they tried a new sound but overall wasn't my cup of tea, Suburbs had a handful of great songs but overall felt like they were trying too hard and were starting to take themselves too seriously, I didn't really care for Reflektor at all. This new song is okay, not as bad as the new Gorillaz song, but it's just nothing like the Funeral era Arcade Fire I fell in love with.

i smell a new meme

Funeral isn't their best album.

The Suburbs is.

Discussion over.

this is a wonderful description

yo what the fuck this is dope why do people hate this

much better than the new Gorillaz track

at some points it gets so close to being some sick dirty beaches-esque shit but it never gets there.

not awful tho

WHY DOES IT SUCK ELABORATE

Super repetitive with really weak lyrics. It's a band who went from some of the most emotionally cathartic music I've ever heard to making a really dull dance track. Gorillaz single is shit too though I agree.
Ok I love The Suburbs too but this is a big load of bs, m8, consider me baited.
