1001 Albums Summary

This my first experience with this band but I love the sound. I hear influences of 80s bands from Depeche Mode to Talking Heads. Each song has some surprise instrument, phrasing, or chord progression. I'm so glad to have heard this album - it's now part of my mellow gaming playlist.

I love this album - the raw emotion and overall sound defined a generation: my generation.

With the exception of a few standout songs, the classic rock-n-roll songs all blur together, nothing exciting or notable. Highlights include Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile.

Love the singles from this album like "Stand" and "Orange Crush," but had never heard the rest of the album. Overall I love it. Good sound - upbeat inplaces, then somber moods, amazing flow.

Arcade Fire is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands!

This hits the same today as it did freshman year. It takes me back to my angsty years and makes me feel the blood in my veins again. So many more references to guns than I remember... 20/20 hindsight, and all that.. Amazing hidden gems like "Territorial Pissings" and "Polly" make this album a 5-star rave.
