Incredible 4th album by the most famous Canadian band, which over the years has carved out a niche in the record market.

Nothing is out of place on The Reflektor, a double album made with meticulousness and delight, capable of never tiring.

It saw the light in September 2013 and more than a year later, it's still heard on the radio.

It must certainly be considered one of the best albums of all time, successful in its heterogeneous genres.

It leaves us stunned: Here Comes The Night Time, a timeless and ageless piece, original and personal.

No Hesitation, features the participation of David Bowie even if he does little more than a cameo.


Perhaps I exaggerate by saying that it is an album that will make history and that in the future it will be taken as a cue by many artists.


The only drawback is the attempt to modernize certain tracks still typically from "Funeral" in the second album.

The hype generated by Win Butler's antics and the super-promotion, clever and not at all pompous, was normal.

Forerunner of the trend of hiding: covers, songs, and titles, releasing them in well-planned installments.


The success of sales and public was well-deserved, making them the best band currently active.

Ecstasy and Playfulness occur during their concerts where they wear giant masks on their heads, a brilliant idea.

They succeed in balancing the two albums while maintaining a coherent line, to be reprised in the aforementioned live shows.

They owe much to the production of the showman James Murphy, who outdoes Eno, Parsons, Albini all at once.

Arcade Fire, in continuous growth, album after album with a flourishing future full of expectations.

 This album doesn’t revolutionize anything, yet it manages to move you—a difficult feat these days.

 The Reflektor is undoubtedly one of Arcade Fire’s best albums, a perfect mix of genres, a rollercoaster of emotions, and sudden changes in atmosphere.
