Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

When Montreal's Arcade Fire released Funeral in 2004, it received the kind of critical and commercial acclaim that most bands spend their entire careers trying to attain. Within a year the group was headlining major festivals and sharing the stage with U2 and Bowie and Byrne, all the while amassing a devoted following that descended upon shows like moths to a flame. On their alternately wrecked and defiant follow-up, Neon Bible, one can sense a bit of a Wall being erected around the group. If Funeral was the goodbye kiss on the coffin of youth, then Neon Bible is the bitter pint (or pints) after a long day's work.
