The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Stip, I feel like the songs you like are a pretty good representation of what the band does. I'd probably just grab the first record and see if it grabs you.

i've heard them all before(maybe two times each). These were the songs I liked. the albums as a whole didn't grab me but I wonder if they would if I went back to them or if there were specific songs that were pretty similar to those.
so I really like Wake Up, Antichrist Blues, Keep the Car Running, Month of May, and City with No Children.
What other songs should I look up?
All the others. But yeah, my favourite song from The Suburbs was Suburban War.
And No Cars Go from Neon Bible.

After 4 or 5 listens I don't know how you can't be grabbed by Funeral.
I just think the songs are inconsistent, but that's not because any of them are bad, it's more that some of them are freaking classics that have impacted my life in a huge way, so others are 'filler', good to very good imo. It's probably unfair to judge an album as less good on that basis, but Arcade Fire is a band on that level for me. Neon Bible changed my life like Ten did, and considering I was in my twenties at the time, that's a rarity. I'm also not as keen on the shouty vocal on some of the Funeral songs, as opposed to the sung vocals on future output. The distorted shout gets jarring and threatens to push certain good songs into annoying territory (Leika, I'm looking at you).

I listened to a few songs driving down to my parents.
I forgot that I like ready to start (but less than those other songs I had previously listed). I like Hati, too.
Rebellion was pretty good. I'd like intercession (that organ song on neon bible) if not for the chorus.
Not a fan of no cars go. Suburban war didn't do much for me either.
If you keep listening, it will grow.

me too. I like individual songs but don't find myself wanting to listen to their entire albums.
