Farewell, Arcade Fire!
Cold Wind This song stands in an interesting contrast to other Arcade Fire songs. “Cold Wind” builds heavily on the same idea until the break in the middle. It has a harrowing effect. The main theme and melody of this song evokes loneliness that pierces straight into the heart. It seems so simple (indeed there may not be too much more needing to be said), and yet something just...

Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
Neon Bible I’m not sure anything about this album can surpass the sheer sonic force and splendor that Arcade Fire gives us. Where previous works evoke old houses with bittersweet memories in empty rooms, here Arcade Fire turns its heart to the sky and fills every inch of space with feeling. Listened to right after Funeral or Arcade Fire EP, the opening track “Black Mirror”...

Lord have mercy, my first reblog! Thanks willdrewreviews! I’ll be sure to reblog your review of The Suburbs, seeing as how I haven’t gotten around to obtaining that album, and have no money.

Arcade Fire Pt. 2341234143: Funeral
Prologue: If I am not careful, I will simply do nothing but gush with joy throughout this album review, and it would be as disturbing as it sounds when you read it out loud. Funeral is the first I ever heard of Arcade Fire, and I don’t know if anything else they do will be able to measure up to it in my mind. That being said, I’ll be on my way; I’ll try and be reasonably...

Getting it Going Again
Oooook. I’m all rested up and ready to get back into this writing gig. I am eschewing the song by-song structure. Sometimes an album will have a song or two about which I fail to care, and I see no reason to spend time hung up on finding things to say about such songs. So, I’m going to finish the Arcade Fire EP quickly and move on. Sorry to have taken so long! While pretty good by...
