Hello again people, I was listening to a playlist this morning and a song from The Arcade Fire's Funeral came up, and I thought that I couldn't go on without reviewing it on here.
Album Review
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Arcade Fire are one of the groups around nowadays that are so intense about their music. Every chord, beat and note seem to carry across so much life and emotion that it is staggers the mind; and none better to represent this than Funeral. This album from end to end has this power that makes you want to smile, jump, scream, respectively. Kicking off the album is a great builder, "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" with its very well chosen tempo, it feels like your walking through a neighborhood before dawn's first light, frozen air. The lyrics paint this scene of two people living in a frozen world. It's quite beautiful, thinking about losing yourself in a world of two, being so extracted from culture that you forget "the names we used to know." By the end you feel like you're running and running to nothing, but it's ok. Next is "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)"one of my personal favorites. It's a chilling tune about an older brother who isolated himself from his family. The imagery in this song is so vivid. "When daddy comes home you always start a fight, so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights. The police disco lights. Now the neighbors can dance!" Powerful and very earnest. "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" describes an epic journey to find light and see kids dying in the streets and how "the power is out in the heart of a man" such powerful images and subject matter make for the most intense of music. The most popular tune on this album, now featured on a new movie Where The Wild Things Are is "Wake Up" a very powerful tune about how growing up can just make you lose all the love and happiness. The song has this powerful melody which is sung at the top of everyone in the bands lungs, so filled with life and earnest that it is nearly impossible not to fall in love with this song. "Rebellion (Lies)" is a great tune about not believing everything you hear from people, and that it's all right to believe what you want.
This group of musicians creates the most intense of music, and are also able to make a very comprehensive album of powerful music. And be aware, they may be coming out with a new album soon.
8.8/10
Until next time.
