Music reviews of Funeral (180 Gram Vinyl + Download)
Music Review: Beautiful in more ways than one
Rating: 5 Stars
The first time I was introduced to Arcade Fire, I was hesitant to buy into the hype that they "are one of the 5 best new bands since 2000," according to a few sources. I heard a few songs, and was impressed, but just didn't understand the hype. Then I listened to Neighborhood #1.
From the first track on Funeral, I was hooked. It's beautiful, and to this day, will still bring a tear to my eye. I learned that, as with many great albums, it is important to listen to it in entirety. Splitting it up will ruin the experience. The songs, while great on their own, are made magnificent when played back to back.
Some will call Arcade Fire an overly dramatic band, and point to Funeral as a prime example for good reason. It is a very dramatic album to the point that some will find it pretentious. To me, it's that very human emotion that is woven throughout the album that I love. It's a postmodern take on the human condition and emotion.
Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend the Vinyl edition of Funeral. It sounds wonderful, has some of the best packaging I've ever seen (thank you for poly sleeves... why can't more artists use these) and you will not regret it.

Description of Funeral (180 Gram Vinyl + Download)
Montreal's Arcade Fire brings a theatricality, an intensity, an insanity, and a penchant for amazing hooks to their debut full-length. You've never heard such energy, beauty, and emotion from such a young band. Now, Merge is re-releasing the Arcade Fire "Funeral" LP on 180 gram vinyl with a download card. Fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, and Roxy Music's first two albums will have a new favorite band.Alternative Rock CDs
