As with Radiohead, they're a band whose popularity & critical-darlings status I don't quite get.   My brain must be on a different wave length. I've also come to abhor critic-darling Patti Smith (mentioned in this article) after having once been a fan 35+ years ago. It's so rare I find bands/singers any more whose music moves me a lot, I'm very grateful when it occasionally does happen. Too bad Arcade Fire never "happens" for me.
