Funeral
Montreal's Arcade Fire brings a theatricality, an intensity, an insanity, and a penchant for amazing hooks to their debut full-length. You've never heard such energy, beauty, and emotion from such a young band. Fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, and Roxy Music's first two albums will have a new favorite band. more

David Bowie sparks an Internet Fire.
The driving force behind Montreal's alternative band Arcade Fire is the husband and wife duo, Win Butler and Québécoise Régine Chassagne. After David Bowie reportedly discovered the band while on tour, Arcade Fire soon released its internet-driven debut album, Funeral, in 2004. It immediately...

Funeral
It's tough to say anything about this record that hasn't already been said in a hundred other reviews. Nonetheless, it never hurts to try. On their debut LP Funeral, Arcade Fire sound fresh, invigorated, and confident. The band stylistically apes a number of great classic artists, not to mention...

Repetitive
*Review From A Classic Rock FanI found this album to be very repetitive. Maybe not in the song structures or lyrics, but in the sound. I have listened to this five times now and I still have not found an amazing song that really sticks out among the rest. The upside to this however is that there...

New to Arcade Fire
I ordered this cd back in January 08 out of curiosity--had read great reviews of both this and Neon Bible but had hever actually heard anything by them. I honestly was blown away. This is the best cd on the whole that I have ever heard. The packaging actually came with 2 cd's so I gave the...

As good as it gets for a first album
I am a recent fan of AF and started with Neon Bible. This debut album reminds of the feeling of pure raw driven energy I heard in the first efforts by The Cure, U2, Cranberries and Talking Heads. This is not to say AF's sound is similar to those bands but that I heard unique genuine compositions...

As good a debut album as any
The Arcade Fire in a strange way became the sort of "go to" band for anyone craving anything indie. While other bands have had success, more talk and discussion were placed on this band to the point I was worried they were becoming a victim of overexposure; the band to "save us from the awfulness...

Great CD!
Having seen the band live with U2 back in 2005, I knew they were good. I have been adding their cd's to my collection ever since. This is their best one. "Arcade of Fire" is fantastic & is the song that kicked off the U2 concerts in most cities!

The pressure makes them crack
There once was a man called Isaac Brock he put his boat down in the dock his very best friends were in for a shock....and then he. Oh sorry I'm drambling again that delicous dream ramble. This long player is genuinely overated, not at all bad but not that great either. If you don't believe me...
