The 2004 critically acclaimed debut from Montreal's Arcade Fire. "Funeral" layers crunchy guitars, intricate string arrangements, and desperate crescendos for an album that is by turns melancholic, playful, and angry, but thoroughly beautiful.
Highlight tracks include the gorgeous, howling "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)", the driving intensity of "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" and its concert set-mate "Rebellion (Lies)", and the powerful anthem "Wake Up".

Pros:
Music is well produced and easy to listen to
Cons:
Prefer the songs that Win Butler sings on to his wife
This album is their freshmen effort and excellent. The band had lost many family members and this is the basis for the album. I think everyone can find something to connect with here. I am always moved when I listen to this album and I never thought I would find myself an Arcade Fire fan. I adore this album. A must have. Sounds like a mixture of Irish music and David Byrne with maybe a tad of Bowie.
