I've been through it three times now. (You can't really judge an Arcade Fire record until several listenings).

After not being sure at first, several songs now jump out as really good and I'm starting to digest the overall feel of the album. You can definitely hear the influence of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) on the production.

Okay, after about 10 listenings - awesome. Just fantastic.

Reflektor. Disco Congo Drums. Women speaking French.

Yes please!

It did take me several listings, and while Reflektor is the most catchy, didn't you find Here comes the night to be just as catchy?

I can't stop listening to the record - and actually I don't really think Reflektor (the song) is as "catchy" as it first appeared. Definitely Here Comes the Night is the most accessible, anthem-y track. But I think We Exist, Normal Person, and Joan of Arc are pretty catchy too. That whole run from We Exist to Joan of Arc (5 tracks) is bad-***.

I'm getting more into the second "disc" now as well, the three tracks from Awful Sound to Porno are big, riffy songs. I like.

It's never Over (Hey Orpheus) is the jam. Great buildup and typical AF goodness.

Definitely. I love the guitar riff on that one combined with those soulful backing vocals.
