The Arcade Fire - Suburbs
Reviewed by yewknee
I don't care if it's overly contrived or obvious or predictable but I completely agree with anyone that says this album is phenomenal. Much like Neon Bible it is best listened to as an entire piece but like Funeral it's got more of a fusion of upbeat songs with dark / macabre themes. Some have judged the subject matter of The Suburbs as being too adolescent but I feel like it's something that a large stock of people can relate to. These guys are three for three as far as I'm concerned. [www.arcadefire.com]
