The new album 'neon bible' is even better than the first IMO.

If you liked Funeral get this.

Simon,

Thanks, I really like the first album so I would be happy to get their new one. When was it released? I was in HMV yesterday but did not notice it.

Regards

Nic

very much like the new one - Neon Bible. Would suggest IMO that it is not as lyrically subtle or uplifting as the first - Funeral.

I still like the first best but I rate Funeral as a truly exceptional album. Neon Bible is a very good album though and apparently recorded in a church organ and all.

I'm about to put this on for the first time - having never heard any Arcade Fire at all before - so am heartily encouraged by your comments!

Have to say that I have found it profoundly disappointing so far. The production detracts. There are several obviously weak or unfinished sounding songs and the tracks that attracted me the most on first and subsequent listens turn out to be pale facsimiles of tracks on Funeral.
