I don't trust reviews, especially in the Arcade Fire's case. They are a good band but the hype surrounding them is just insane. I am definitely getting the album but will try to ignore all the indie snob press that goes along with it, and judge it on its own merits.
I lost interest in Modest Mouse long ago.
