Hmm it would seem that Arcade Fire's new album Reflektor is not doing so hot in the reviewing world. But wait, you may ask, what does the all-objective Disney review theory have to say about this?
(In case you don't know how it works, just watch both videos simultaneously, but cut the disney clip audio.)

You know, I had my reservations about this one (duh, reviews), but you know, it works, it really works! It totally subverts the theme of deception and disgrace of "not one of us", and makes the story seem to be about passing away into the afterlife as Win suggests. Thus the departure of the disgraced lion is allegorical. Also, let's be honest, I'm a total sucker for sad messages sung exuberantly. A dance song about dying, to me, is the best thing ever, which is kind of what this song is.
So, Reflektor, you are good music. Just goes to show that reviewers don't really know what's going on. They can't be trusted!
