Aug 24, 2010That's it? Funeral had 5 or 6 great songs, Neon Bible had maybe 3 good ones but mostly yawns. The Suburbs has no memorable song after the pretty good opener. At least 2 Canadian bands have produced better records this year: Broken Social Scene and the New Pornographers.

Feb 17, 2011I just can't believe that this The Suburbs is the album of the year! This is SIMPLE CRAP! So long, so bored, i want my 64 minutes and 7 seconds of my life back!

Apr 4, 2011Not bad, if it wasn't of the sound quality. One of the most disappointing crap of all the music industry. Audiophiles, beware! Don't pay for it. You will not have more sound quality from the CD than from a 128kbps mp3. I'm serious, but conscious that only few people will notice what I'm talking about... especially those who recorded the album.

Jan 5, 2011With beats this straight and stolid, you'd better keep the anthems coming, and they do, almost.

It's serious without being preachy, cynical without dissolving into apathy, and whimsical enough to keep both sentiments in line, and of all of their records, it may be the one that ages so well.

The Suburbs is a really good record, but it's clear that indie rock is not in Kansas anymore.
