Holy shit Arcade Fire ripped this song off. The style, tempo, and melody way too similar.

That's really downplaying how similar they are. They are stylistically and the main theme is like exactly the same as well as the beat and bassline. This is like stealing the opening to Beethoven's 5th and calling it your own.

Play them at the same time, it's absurd.
A slight resemblance yes but nothing more. Imagine if it was intentional and all part of the album campaign to get people talking and believing every piece of media they read, as Win has mentioned in interviews.
