Jan 3, 2023This album is so good that even the Grammy’s couldn’t ignore it. It’s seriously my favourite album of all time.

May 6, 2022Um pouco longo demais, e meio pretensioso. Mas que importa, quando se tem uma das melhores sequências de canções que eles escreveram? The Suburbs, Ready to Start, Modern Man, Suburban War, Sprawl II... E a lista segue.

Dec 25, 2021The Suburbs not only met but exceeded expectations. It does such a wonderful job at capturing what the nostalgia for youth and how life used to be is like. You can feel the longing to make things as they once were despite knowing they'll never be the same again and I absolutely love it.

Apr 15, 2019One of the best albums I have ever set my ears on. A well crafted masterpiece, lyrically and structurally, meditating on loss of youth and nostalgia with a deep resonating effect.

Jul 2, 2017Un clásico moderno y una indiscutible obra de arte de principio a fin. Uno de los mejores discos del siglo XXI el indie-rock jamas sonó tan genial. El sonido es simplemente jubiloso te mueve las emociones y te recuerda el poder inigualable que causa la música.

Jun 22, 2017I used to write reviews, i used to sign my name.
You can't write a proper review for this album. You can just listen to it and judge for yourself.
Ready to start will get you in love with Arcade Fire if you aren't already. -
Dec 19, 2016This is the greatest album of all time. Every song in this album is the greatest song of all time. No one could possibly make a better album. This is Art as it should be.

Aug 22, 2016An album that defines a decade and a generation. They could put this album in a museum a 1000 years from now and it could perfectly explain the feeling we all had during this time in history.

Sep 30, 2015One of the greatest albums of the decade. Arcade Fire showcases once again their capability to create grand lyrical statements with grand musical production. The band proves that they may quite be the best musical group of our time.
Absolutely a must-buy album if you've any love for the art of music. -

Jul 28, 2014With its aesthetic and colorful descriptions of past experiences as well as thoughts, ideas and regrets, this albums achieves and succeeds for just its own peculiar and sympathetic way of being. Composed of 16 beautiful songs, with tasteful instrumentation and structure, The Suburbs maintains the band's tradition while becoming in a classic. An old-but-new classic.

May 9, 2014Sixteen more tracks from the great indie band Arcade Fire and even better entry than before. Arcade Fire uses its storytelling again to use in a great way best tracks are Sprawl II and the self titled track. This album uses its lyrics to be as ambitious and passionate to its songs deeply take effect on its listeners.

May 1, 2014A spectacular masterpiece, with moving lyrics and songs that will make you click on that replay bottom every time you hear them. Cant get enough of Arcade Fire. It feels like Spike Jonze, The Coen Bros, Wes Anderson and David O Russell were musicians.

Aug 24, 2013Arcade Fire surpasses itself entirely in a stunning album. The music is so dense, so full of fantastic imagery, and brave new sounds, as well as lovely, quiet tunes it only occasionally feels drawn out. 16 tracks is an impressive amount of music in this day and age but it does unfortunatley lead to their being needless trampling on ground that they covered well enough a few songs earlier.

Jun 19, 2013One of my favorite albums of all time! This masterpiece flows beautifully from one excellent song to another, lacking any mediocre songs. Lyrics: AWESOME, Music: AWESOME, Everything: AWESOME
There is literally nothing I would change about this album. It is as near to perfect as possible. -
Jun 8, 2013This is a masterpiece on its own. Listening to it is like seeing the transition of the families from the suburbs to the big cities full of "dead shopping malls". It's totally worth the listen.
I won't say what my favorite tracks because this is supposed to be from beginning to end. It's a story and you shouldn't miss any chapter. -

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.
