Arcade Fire - We Used To Wait
Arcade Fire are releasing their third album in August. Entitled "The Suburbs", one might think it staid and prosaic, however, it's anything but. Take We Used To Wait for instance. Petulant and urgent, the song opens with a piano led intro that progresses into a similar anthemic style Arcade Fire are known for. Win Butler's vocals shine through in particular, as he intones about how they used to have to wait for letters from their loved ones and is liberal with his falsetto. Just as how the song starts, the song ends similarly in a staccato of piano played keys.

In a similar vein, there's a rush of pounding drums and clanging guitars as he goes on about grappling with fame. Finely treading the line between pensiveness and all out ranting, Arcade Fire deal a good dose of smashing indie rock that is telling of how good this album could be.
