Editorial Review:
Montreal's Arcade Fire brings a theatricality, an intensity, an insanity, and a penchant for amazing hooks to their debut full-length. You've never heard such energy, beauty, and emotion from such a young band. Fans of Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, and Roxy Music's first two albums will have a new favorite band.

*Review From A Classic Rock Fan
I found this album to be very repetitive. Maybe not in the song structures or lyrics, but in the sound. I have listened to this five times now and I still have not found an amazing song that really sticks out among the rest.

However, that is why I like there next ... Read More

Two days later she emails me to tell me it was her new favorite cd. My only regret was that I caught on to them too late to catch them on tour for ... Read More
Rating:  - As good as it gets for a first album
I am a recent fan of AF and started with Neon Bible. This debut album reminds of the feeling of pure raw driven energy I heard in the first efforts by The Cure, U2, Cranberries and Talking Heads. This is not to say AF's sound is similar to those bands but that I heard unique genuine compositions coming from the heart with potential for greatness. Those other bands went on to more polished sophisticated and popular work but the early stuff containing the seeds of success has an unadulterated feel that ... Read More
Rating: - As good a debut album as any
The Arcade Fire in a strange way became the sort of "go to" band for anyone craving anything indie. While other bands have had success, more talk and discussion were placed on this band to the point I was worried they were becoming a victim of overexposure; the band to "save us from the awfulness of rock" as it were. While there is a bit of overhyped feelings, it's hard not to see how good it felt to not see a band bogged down by MOR-ready sounds. Sounding unique yet strangely familiar, reminscent of ...
