by Awl Staff
Canadian art rockers Arcade Fire’s highly-anticipated third album The Suburbs hits stores today, living up to and even exceeding impossibly high expectations. At 16-tracks with multi-part songs and strong thematics throughout, its an ambitious project that rewards multiple listens.
Building upon the work they did with breakout debut Funeral and sophomore effort Neon Bible, Arcade Fire is clearly comfortable where they are. While many bands would try to recreate what brought them their initial success, The Suburbs showcases a band constantly looking to grow and move forward. This is a band at the top of their game, and The Suburbs is already one of this year’s must-have albums.
