I didn't think it was possible to top Funeral (easily my all time favorite before Neon Bible came along) but, somehow, Arcade Fire pulled it off. I think Neon Bible is a great progression over their last masterpiece and if they keep going at this rate, they are going to go down as one of the best baroque bands ever in my opinion.
When I first got Neon Bible (about 4 months ago or so) I was blown away. I can appreciate every single track on the album but some of my favorites are No Cars Go (remake) Windowsill, The Well and the Lighthouse, and Keep the Car Running. I, without a doubt, recommend the purchase of this album. You will be one satisfied customer if you liked any piece of Funeral.
