The Arcade Fire is a wonderful Canadian. I wished the cd wasn't all scratched because of listening to much. The first song is a really powerfull one. The strings arrangement are simply gorgeous. Then come the one that bug me. The song Neighborhood #2 that one isn't really a great song because of the lack of beat. Meanwhile, Une année sans lumière a wonderful song with bit of french made us think "What the video will look like?"
The 4 is a trendish hit that talk about a storm here in Canada. 7 kettles is a song with some strings. If I could give a score, it would be 10/10.
You can listen to it meanwhile reading a book and/or write or drawing.
Wonderful album
