    If I were to have just heard the first half of the disc, I probably would have proclaimed it the best of the year as well.

    So long as we're unable or unwilling to fully recognize the healing aspect of embracing honest emotion in popular music, we will always approach the sincerity of an album like Funeral from a clinical distance. Still, that it's so easy to embrace this album's operatic proclamation of love and redemption speaks to the scope of The Arcade Fire's vision.

    Marred by indie-rock clichés and occasional over-effort, it remains frustrating.
