Amid an early ’00s, post-Strokes rock landscape that celebrated aloof, carefully cultivated cool, Funeral reminded jaded hipsters of how it feels to feel, delivering outsized, stadium-toppling grandeur with bloodletting, punked-up intensity. Upon its release, the album transformed Montreal into an internationally renowned indie-rock epicenter, but the seismic aftershock of emotionally fraught epics like “Wake Up” and “Rebellion (Lies)” would reverberate upward into the pop mainstream—where wordless, shout-it-out group choruses and climactic crescendos are now the norm.
