Arcade Fire Review

Excerpt from the review at the St. Louis R.F.T.

So is Neon Bible good? Yes. Is it better than Funeral? Well, apples and oranges.
Bible's the type of album on which college English classes and doctoral theses
are built — but it's also an album that, like Funeral, fosters community (just
check out any YouTube clips of recent live shows or the fevered message board
brainstorming about hidden messages). Despite questioning traditional religious
avenues, the Arcade Fire is its own self-contained religion for the
disenfranchised and searching, for post-college kids stuck in dead-end cubicle
jobs who miss using their brains and can't relate to organized worship — but
long for the mystery of the spiritual unknown.
