First time listening. I almost didn’t make it through the opening track, Djed. It started off ok, but then it turned into a kind of noise that made me want to drive my car into a wall. After that, it is was smooth sailing the rest of the way. Glass Museum, A Survey, and The Taut and Tame were proggy goodness. I also enjoyed the spaghetti western feel of Along The Banks of Rivers. Would probably listen to again, but I’m skipping the first track. 3.5/5

I haven’t listened to this since I was a wee lad and it reminds me of my mom. I’m typically not a fan of albums that run over an hour. Too much of a risk of filler tracks and this album is no exception.

Still my favorite Arcade Fire album. No skips.
