How do the Arcade Fire follow-up not just one of the best debut albums ever, but possibly ... more

also one of the best indie albums of all time?
Well, Neon Bible is a good place to start. After
the success of Funeral, expectations were high for
a follow up. But really, how could any band be
expected to repeat that level of achievement twice
in a row? And who can fault a band for setting
their own standards so high? If there's one
criticism of Neon Bible (named after author John
Kennedy Toole's first novel), it's that it's not
Funeral. But any other band would consider Neon
Bible a towering achievement, for the simple
reason that it is. "Keep the Car Running" displays
all of the trademarks of the Arcade Fire's best
work, building to a crescendo by adding layers and
layers of synths to a deceptively simple tune.
"Intervention", meanwhile, is easily the
biggest-sounding song they've yet recorded,
exploding with pipe organ over strummed guitars,
strings and a choir. Occasionally, lead singer Win
Butler risks being lost behind all of this noise,
particularly as his voice has lost some of the
strained intensity that made Funeral so affecting
(and in fact, on "(Antichrist Television Blues)"
he even sounds a bit like 80's-era Springsteen).
But there's no denying that Neon Bible is a
stellar album, from a band worth discovering.

Let It Rain

Advantages: Highly emotive, powerful music-making, strong instrumentation
Disadvantages: Poor lyrically, not enough gothic church organ for my taste

...
Come March ’07, Neon Bible was finally released in the UK, and people could see for themselves what the hype had led up to. Immediately the reviews started to flood in. ‘A’ ratings, high ranks out of ten, five out of five marks, high percentage shots, they all collected together. Although the scores weren’t as high as they were for Funeral, nobody seemed to have a bad word to say about Neon Bible. The Arcade Fire had triumphed! And as seen ...
...Of the two, I prefer Neon Bible, simply because it’s so unexpected. There’s barely anything in the song, it’s a track where you can hear a pin drop, as Win whispers “It’s the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible/Not Much Chance For Survival”. It sounds downbeat, but it doesn’t feel it. On the otherside, Windowsill is a weary lament, a moment of down-time where the band can rest themselves ahead of the massive musical moments that are to come.

The Biggest Album of This Year

Advantages: Great music & lyrics
Disadvantages: None

I first heard about Neon Bible when it was given a brilliant write up in Q Magazine. I had heard "Keep The Car Running" on the radio at some point, as this was one of the first singles they released. When I got the album, I realised quickly that this is one of the best albums I own. Members -------------- Arcade Fire are an indie rock band from Canada.

Compared to Funeral, Neon Bible has been Arcade FIre's breakthrough success. It debuted at #1 in Canada and Ireland, and #2 in the UK, America, and Portugal. Frontman Win Butler claims that the title of the album has nothing to do with the John Kennedy Toole novel, and that the titles are "purely coincidental". ...

Recorded and produced by Arcade Fire themselves in an old church which they bought especially for this purpose, the album takes its listeners on a heart-rendering journey.

Their live show usually consists of all band members writhing ...

Butler's backward reverb vocals take the stage and by the time the jubilant Keep The Car Running takes the baton, we've already been immersed in slamming drums and ominous string sections. Now, we're gliding in on a flying carpet as Neon Bible flutters in. Snare's replaced by tearing books surround a dark lullaby about the worlds ...

...notable differences to their first. Neon Bible was released amongst a frenzy of publicity that starved Funeral (their first album) and undoubtedly delivered.

A huge, huge album

Advantages: A hugely lovable, brilliant album
Disadvantages: You can't get enough of it!

Arcade Fire's sophmore album, 'Neon Bible', leaves their debut in the dust. After the band spent six months of hard craft in a church-turned-recording studio, Neon Bible has burst forth, a beautiful, innocent gem of an alternative album. In typical Arcade Fire fashion each song transports the listener to a completely different world. Glorious layers of instumentation, from acoustic guitars to hurdy gurdies, church organs to arcordians, giving the album a huge, orchestral feel. Highlights of the album include the unrelenting, foot stomping 'Black Wave/Bad Vibrations' with its phoenomenal sing along chorus, and 'Intervention' with it's ominous use of church organ and thought provoking lyrics. The album, as one may guess from the title, dwells on the themes of religion, a tangible progression from the overpowering theme of death ...
