 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Couldn't stand =Funeral=, but I love =Neon Bible=.
- John D Byrne, 11/28/2007, USA

Full title is: Neon Bible


The second album from Montreal's Arcade Fire exceeds all expectations. With string and orchestral arrangements by two of the band members, 'Neon Bible' is full of both half-assed punk rock mistakes and meticulously orchestrated woodwinds. Processed strings and mandolin. Quiet rumbles and loud rumbles. But mostly just eleven songs that the band thinks are really good. The deluxe CD version is packaged in a hinged box with two 32-page flip books designed by the band. The LP is double 180-gram audiophile quality with three sides of music and an etching on the fourth side. The LP also includes a coupon for a free MP3 download of 'Neon Bible'. Arcade Fire's 2004 debut 'Funeral' has scanned over 300,000 copies and is certified platinum in Canada.
