Release Notes:
The other rips were badly encoded and fake. Enjoy the real deal. :)
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.
For their second full-length, the Montreal-based seven-or-eight-piece Arcade
Fire show themselves capable of Big Rock, as original, and as potentially
marquee-topping as TV on the Radio and Sigur Ros. Regardless, the intentional
murkiness of these pleasantly anthemic New Wave dirges makes it sound as if the
music has already reverberated through a crowded cement stadium. Named after
cult author John Kennedy Toole's first novel, Neon Bible is smart and subtle
enough to present itself as a personal discovery for every listener, every word
to be pored over by fans (as with those of Tori Amos, Pavement, and Radiohead).
Surely, lines like "The sound is not asleep/ It's moving under my feet" have
already been scribbled onto the margins of countless textbooks. Such words are
delivered with less intensity this time, but no less import. For vocal
influences, lead singer Win Butler seems to have traded his '80s Bowie in for an
'80s Springsteen, at least on the songs "Antichrist Television Blues" and
"Windowsill" (though "Intervention" sounds an awful lot like '80s era
Go-Betweens). The kitchen sink arrangements include the use of an Eastern
European orchestra, pipe organ, hurdy gurdy, and a military choir.
