I admit I was one of those who gasped when I heard Barbra Streisand announce this year's Grammy Album of the Year award. Yes, I have heard of Arcade Fire primarily because of them reaching the #1 spot in the albums chart for specifically this album! Otherwise, I really haven't found the time to listen to them. But now I have to!! I knew they had a chance to win, but maybe in the lesser categories, like Best Alternative Rock Album. But Album of the Year? Wow, that's a lot of pressure, and the Grammys rarely give it to a newbie! The last newbie act that I remember receiving this award was Norah Jones. And for me, that album is a classic! Oh well, maybe this one is too! I should give it a spin one of these days and tell you my thoughts about it.
