I wouldn't bother with the new Arcade Fire album - Q have just put it at No. 1 because they're trying to make up for completely missing the boat with the first album. Like when they put the Go! Team album in the top 50 in 2006 when it came out in 2005. Hmmm.

And check The Hold Steady out NOW! it's great.
