Wow this is a band to look out for in the future. I just saw them last night at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco last night and they were truly amazing.

Has anyone else heard Arcade Fire? [:)][:)][:)][:)]1/2 recomendation! It is very rear that I go see a band before I buy thier first CD, but then again my friend had tickets and invited me so it was'nt of my great initiative. I am very thankful to get a chance to check this band out esoecially before they get big if they do.


cheers,

Just picked up the cd last week on the advice of a friend. I have only listened to it once; but it definitely drew me in. I like the atmosphere of it.

"Funeral" is a great cd. It gets better with repeated listens so get ready Cubby - it will probably spend alot of time in your player.

I'm playing them on my show this week...I have been wanting to play them for a few weeks, but everytime I went to find the album at the station, it wasn't on the shelf. I finally got a copy this week. I like the booklet in the cd too...I think I am going

Sorry I'm hijacking this thread so late but I have to concur with all the comments...I just got this CD the other night, they are awesome. I especially love Track 4 on Funeral, "Neighborhood #3", the beat just seems so reminiscent of New Order's "True Fai

I've been listening to it since September. It's an amazing album, definitely one of the best of 2004. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I'm in love with the song "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)". I love the entire album. I would give my eye teeth for them to come and perform in Portland Oregon.
