 ... dark in some places, the first five tracks in general equating to a very moving experience when listened to together. There are very few songs as cathartic as the albums highlights - Wake Up and Neighbourhood. Through it all though, Arcade Fire remain playful and experimental. The tracks are orchestrated with every instrument they can find, which means the album is constantly surprising. Wake up turning into a sixties soul beat about halfway through for example. You may struggle to come to terms with the vocals -...more

I find more and more often that in today’s musical landscape, it has become increasingly difficult to find an album that really possesses a unique cathartic quality. Thus, when I had the luck of stumbling upon Arcade Fire’s “Funeral,” I was delighted. In one 10 song album, I had the pleasure of listening to an array of emotion, instrumentation, and, overall, wonderful music. The 10+ members of Arcade Fire have managed to perfect the gentle art of what I like to call the “build-up.” By this, I mean that each of the songs on “Funeral” starts off somewhat subtly, slowly adding layers of lyric and melody, until they bloom into a mini-production, complete with a grand ...

Every so often an album comes along that's completely different to anything you have ever heard before. This is one of those albums. Very few albums i have ever heard have ever got me this excited. As i passed it round my friends they found it just as exciting. Funeral can be very dark in some places, the first five tracks in general equating to a very moving experience when listened to together. There are very few songs as cathartic as the albums highlights - Wake Up and Neighbourhood. Through it all though, Arcade Fire remain playful and experimental. The tracks are orchestrated with every instrument they can find, which means the album is ...

 

Products similar to Funeral - Arcade Fire

fantastic songs, lengthy album, good lyrics no thank you

A few decent pop tracks Only a few - the rest aren't all that good

Unprecedented anger balanced by predictable calm. The bits that aren't quite great are entirely mediocre.

A landmark album, four inspired songs 'Moonchild' is a waste of everyone's time

Inventive and highly experimental, diverse collection of songs At three tracks, the album seems short

Excellent production and re-mastered sound A few dud tracks

Fine return to form that retains an experimental edge. Not the 'No Control' sequel that some may have hoped for.

Good variety of songs,styles and sounds have been used all on one album None

Always the band are full of energy and excitement. Those not too fond of Pop Punk music will hate this.

The guitar is back, at least. Belew continues to produce disappointing pop, several decades out of date.

Gradually Going Tornado - Bill Bruford
Pop - 2005

Freedom Call - Angra
Intriguing enough for die-hard fans, stretching the band's progressive tendencies to breaking point. A few really, really naff songs.
