Reviews"At 16 tracks, this dense, complicated set covers considerably more stylistic territory than either of the band's previous albums...", "It's Arcade Fire's most ambitious and concept-driven effort to date....A vein of emptiness and Beckett-esque waiting courses throughout...", Ranked #4 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "The album sounded like a band recapturing their wistfulness and, even, their humanity.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Drawing on everything from '70s radio rock to angular indie rock from the '90s, Arcade Fire have built one of the most interesting-sounding records you're likely to hear all year...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "They instinctively scale their most intimate confessions to arena-rock levels, rolling out big drums and glossy keyboards...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- “Radiant with apocalyptic tension and grasping to sustain real bonds, THE SUBURBS extends hungrily outward, recalling the dystopic miasma of William Gibson’s sci-fi novels and Sonic Youth’s guitar odysseys.”, 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE SUBURBS is a surprising record, swapping the spit and fire of FUNERAL for a sense of mature playfulness....There is pain and pleasure, loss and hope.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Crammed with addictive confections....THE SUBURBS also heralds unexpected vistas, not least of which is a sense of humour.", "The band certainly aims for transcendence on THE SUBURBS -- a work of impressively fervent majesty...", Ranked #2 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "They raze the peaks and troughs of that bombastic chamber rock and add fuzz-punk and soaring synthpop to an expanding, yet more refined, pallette.", "Filled with big-money percussion blasts, waves of strings and This-Is-Important surges of energy, 'Rococo' and 'Month Of May' will, no doubt, sound amazing echoing off arena rafters.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The spritely opening title track is terrific, as is the sad, anthemic beauty of 'Ready To Start'....There are some magical moments here..."
