The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Here's an album that I can and will never get tired of. Somehow, it manages to remain fresh and unaltered [as far as perception is concerned], no matter how many times I listen to it. It lies somewhere between 5 and 1 in my top 10 favorites list. Utilizing all of the best elements from folk, rock, indie, dance, and experimental music, The Arcade Fire are a band that have influenced many up and coming bands, though they haven't been around for very long, in the grand scheme of things.

Fun fact: The Arcade Fire was acutally discovered by David Bowie who brought them to the attention of some major labels.

Tracklisting:
1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
2. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
3. Une Annee Sans Lumiere
4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
5. Neighborhood #4 (Kettles)
6. Crown Of Love
7. Wake Up
8. Haiti
9. Rebellion (Lies)
10. In The Backseat

Highlight Tracks: "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)", "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)", "Haiti"

not a great album, but for some reason i just can't get some tracks out of my head.

worth a listen. think "talking heads" meets "decemberists" with just enough "mewithoutYou" thrown in to make it interesting.
