Customer Reviews

Breathtaking

Well, it always was going to be a great album. Three years in the making, a more polished, commercial offering without losing the essence of what makes Arcade Fire a truly great and original musical group. Uplifting anthems, pulsating stirring choruses, driving rythms that seem to exult the listener. Its too early to pick out the best songs - in fact, I get a feeling that this is an album, a little like The Beatles "Revolver" that is best listened to as an album and not a collection of individual songs. Each song seems to segue into the next almost seamlessly. Its a concept album without being high brow. I have to say, I am selling up my inner city apartment and moving to The Suburbs. Brilliant stuff!!

A Triumph

A cynic would rate the chances of Arcade Fire being able to pull three great albums impossible. Yet it seems this Canadian Band has done it. The Suburbs is a record for this generation just like Radiohead's OK Computer or Jackson's Thriller. It's beautifully crafted around the concept of The Suburbs in the 1970s and despite being a lengthy 16 tracks maintains full attention. At times its slow and moody (Suburban War, Deep Blue), other times frantic (Month of May). The Suburbs is faultless- its smart, conceptually brilliant and most importantly enthralling to listen to in its entirety. Arcade Fire's third effort is perfect and quite possibly the best record of the 2000s.

Just brilliant

And you know people will go through their lives and not hear this. Sad

The grandson of famed swing-era bandleader Alvino Rey, Win was quickly charmed by Chassagne's performance, leading the two to launch a songwriting...
