BrianD.Aug 6, 2010On par with Funeral and may grow to be better with age. A bitter, but hopeful meditation on "living in sprawl, dead shopping malls". A great modern epic. Get this now.

peteraAug 6, 2010What an incredibly band! Their music serves as the soundtrack to my life in the 21st C. This new album has been on replay for the past day and is only interrupted by occasional listens to the first two albums-. Most bands are lucky to create one great song. This band has created three masterpiece albums!

PeterPAug 7, 2010An incredible album from this Canadian band. Multiple genres are represented in this sweeping epic but it's rock at it's best when combined.

Aug 11, 2010A complete work of art, an entire concept album that works. Incredible. Amazing. Sprawl II is the dance hit of the decade (once it's remixed to be harder).

Aug 11, 2010Three extraordinary albums in a row. This band does not repeat itself. With each album Arcade Fire breathes new life into contemporary music. I think this album is as every bit good as the previous two . . . and that's saying something.

Aug 16, 2010After seeing them on the Daily Show, i was amazed by what i heard. Anyone in their right minds would love this album. In any means, a pure masterpiece.

Aug 12, 2010This is honesty the best album i have ever heard, it has some soft songs and some more rock songs that hit the ball out of the park, no one will be disappointed with this album.

Aug 14, 2010Masterpieces. The best album of the year. Third album and third masterpiece. Arcade Fire confirms will be the best band actually. Amazing. Songs like Rococo and Mountains Beyoond Mountains are the best. Classic! Fantastic!

Aug 14, 2010Album of the year. Builds on the first two albums to find a slightly more accessible sound than Neon Bible. In that respect it reminds me of how "Dear Science" fits into TVOTR's catalogue, or "In Rainbows".

Aug 18, 2010If you listen to the album in its entirety, without skipping over tracks or stopping, you might just understand how great this work of art is. Forget about breaking it down and analyzing each song, just press play and away you'll go.

Aug 19, 2010I was not totally convinced when I first heard this album but it has grown on me tremendously and it has been the only music I have listened to for weeks! This album comprehensively confirms Arcade Fire as one of the best bands of the 21st century (if they were not due that accolade already)
-
Aug 19, 2010This album further cements Arcade Fire as the most important and best band of the millenium. There are many standout tracks on the album but listening to it in its entirety is the way to go because the whole exceeds the sum of its parts. Great work!!

Aug 31, 2010Sin duda alguna una obra maestra. Consultado al director de la revista: " Ushi in the park", el Sr. Loben de Pi coincide en que la soledad del Deheso, conlleva a vivir en suburbios.
Para mi, un ten points! -

Sep 3, 2010Amazing to see the progression of what may be the the best band on the planet. The Suburbs succeeds in allowing each member of this plus sized band to illustrate their talents in what comes together as a beautiful melodic masterpiece.

Sep 6, 2010A masterpiece, a staggering work of genius. Arcade Fire capture the ennui of the 21st Century more than any other artist, yet uplift the listener, giving more and more with each rotation. An album that gives, and continues giving and a band to devote your life to.

Sep 6, 2010I've often wondered what song I'd want to be listening to if I were on an airplane that was going to crash. I now know that song would be "We Used to Wait" from this, Arcade Fire's finest album to date "The Suburbs". But what I'm not afraid of is dying, what I'm afraid of is dying before the crescendo of the song hits.

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.
