“Neon Bible is an excellent album by an excellent...”

Written on: 06/01/2008 by LordBrambleberry (9 reviews written)

Neon Bible is an excellent album by an excellent experimental band, Arcade Fire. After their spectacular debut, "Funeral", no one much thought about them. Now they've got us thinking again.

On "Neon Bible" Win Butlers soulful voice blends with New Wave-ish music and the Hungarian Orchestra to create great tunes.

An unconventional blend of twanging guitars, dischorded harmonicas, creaking accordions, clanking pianos and quivering, sometimes even shrieking, vocals, they manage to sound both really old and completely new.
Perhaps unsurprisingly considering the title, Neon Bible… Read Full Review

Black Ghost 7's Response to mr underhill's Review

Written on: 05/12/2007

Good review, thanks, would appreciate some more about the actual music though, song by song?<br/><br/>perhaps the interpretation of the lyrics leaves room for adjustment. I understand their lyrics as being rather wide and being a non religious Christian myself I would agree to a certain extent, perhaps underneath the critique of mainstream Christianity and religion lies more a longing for true faith and a knowledge of brokenness and discontent with this world, rather than a complete abolition and condemning ...
