THE REVIEW

There are many bands around, and many more will appear...

However, in every era, there are bands and bands... there are the Beatles, the Who, U2, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Radiohead... that make a difference... and from today we include and add Arcade Fire among this list... because when you hear a song from those mentioned before, many times you find yourself wondering where it came from, how they did it... well, with Arcade Fire... the same thing happens... YOU CRY...

It was difficult to repeat the creative/emotional success of the previous 'Funeral,' but the seven Canadians manage it perfectly... tracks like Black Mirror, Keep the Car Running, No Cars Go knock you down on the first listen, too forward compared to everything else around... the Monkeys are good, the Ferdinands are good, but not omnipotent... so let's take our hats off to Arcade Fire....

 Arcade Fire first surprised me, then thrilled me, and finally made me fall in love.

 Arcade Fire SUCCEEDED!! Neon Bible is the confirmation that this Canadian band is not here by chance.


By Pi.Per.

 Win Butler and Regine Chassagne return with a new guise, less shiny and more conventional.

 A work that demonstrates how Arcade Fire have matured and gained greater awareness of their abilities.


By joe strummer

 Arcade Fire leaves aside some of the citationism and dives full speed into their talent, bringing forth thunderous explosions of newfound perfection and beauty.

 Arcade Fire is writing the grammar of pop rock music for the new millennium.


By CapitanZalo

 The ingredients are not particularly original (quite the opposite), yet they are mixed with something rare, namely passion, honesty, humility, and perhaps even a bit of naivety.

 "Neon Bible" is, in my opinion, an excellent reaffirmation of Arcade Fire’s talent, a more mature album, certainly more thoughtful and definitively enjoyable.


By nickwire2

 There are moments when technology, lights, and mechanics create a deafening and alien sound, a symphony of evil, the antechamber of hell.

 Neon Bible summarizes all of this in seemingly disconnected episodes, actually tied with a double thread: amidst continuous neurotic ups and downs and stifled emotions.
