Has anyone else bought this Album?

I have not heard something mastered like this in a long time. Its every persons rigs best friend as it clearly was not intent for the earbud crowd. The sheer magnitude of instruments and sound all done in layers upon layers of sonic nirvana make this a must to every audiophiles collection. The vocals are fantastic and the band has like 11 of them all just jaming out in a big sonic orgy the whole CD, I urge you all to do yourself a favor and give it a listen!!

    I bought it when it first came out. I think it is a pretty decent CD.

    I bought it on-line, but when it arrived the case was cracked to pieces and the CD had numerous scratches. On top of that, it was delivered to a neighbors house.

    Love me some Arcade Fire. I already have tickets for their show in Atlanta. Seen them several times live and they are not to be missed. And yes... the stage will be filled with musicians playing every conceivable instrument. It's a blast!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    The mastering on this album is great, but the recording is hot and all compressed to hell...

    Haven't picked up the new album yet, but i plan to. I didn't give these guys the time of day for years. Contempt prior to
    investigation. I began listening to their albums in sequential order. Giving a couple months to each album before moving on to the
    next one. I LOVE them now.

    They are definitely all very different. I do like them all but suburbs is probably my fav. Nice to see a band that won't settle and takes chances.

    How's this for Karma? I ordered 3 CD's from Amazon on Tuesday and they arrived today...two of them with cracked cases:( That's what I get for trying to poke a little fun.

    BTW, I do like Reflektor.
