Arcade Fire vs. Marvin Gaye

I had real trouble with Marvin Gaye.  Great voice, obviously, but I just can't get on board with the type of instrumentation used on this record.  It's the same reason I can't watch Scarface...the soundtrack is so ridiculous and cheeseball that I can't dig into the content of the script.  It's totally subjective...I just can't stand the sounds of the intruments.

I haven't been super impressed with Arcade Fire as of late.  Neon Bible is a big crapfest that makes me want to kick puppies.  But Funeral is a stellar record.

And it is the record that moves on.
