Advantages: Great Music

Disadvantages: none

The Arcade Fire are one of my favourite bands of all time, and this is their best album. They are an eclectic bunch from Canada, mostly they sing in English, but occasionally they sing in French, and they use just about every instrument available to them to make the noise they require.

Recorded in a church, this album is a whirlpool of different emotions, from the dark and moody 'Black Mirror' and 'Intervention' to the more radio friendly 'No Cars Go', 'Keep the Car Running' and 'My Body is a Cage'. Husband and Wife team Wim and Regine write beautiful, haunting music, yet manage to keep it accessible.

I would recommend this album to anyone that like bands such as Radiohead, British Sea Power, Blonde Redhead and Godspeed you Black Emperor. Also, make sure you listen to it with a good speaker system; there is so much going on in this album that a weak system just won't do it any justice.

I love this album and think that everybody should give it a listen, even if it's not usually your kind of thing. You might just surprise yourself!

Summary: Buy it!
