Is it fair to say that Arcade Fire are currently roughly where Radiohead were after OK Computer?

Radio-Division [Edit] [Delete] 12:42, 3 December '10

Okay, I know the situations aren't exactly the same, Arcade Fire don't have a 'Creep' and probably wouldn't be quite big enough to headline Glastonbury, but they do definitely seem to be in a similar position to Radiohead then.

Critical darlings, completing their passage into the mainstream, and depending on what their next album is like, the title of biggest band in the world there for the taking.

It'll be interesting to say how they react to this, will they take the title on, or will they get all introspective and do a Kid A on it?
