im not sure, its possible. i dont usually remember the random references i put in when i write stuff… i liked the new arcade fire album but its probably my least favorite of theirs, the reggae vibe songs just did not do it for me, they also felt a bit weak. i feel like if they had cut the album down to one disc and just put in the amazing stuff they would have had a really nice album.. but skipping over so many tracks made me feel weird about the album because skipping a track isnt something i ever did to an arcade fire album.
but i thought the songs Reflektor, Aweful Sound, Its Never Over and especially Afterlife were quite amazing.
also the sun god stuff is referencing biblical history and its ties to Egyptian mythology and astrology, something they reference a lot in the last QotSA album, that i liked A LOT (possibly one of the best rock albums ive heard in 5+ years)
