This album is not just a love letter or an indictment of the suburbs; it's a heartfelt message straight from the suburbs. Arcade Fire's third album came three years after their flawless sophomore LP, Neon Bible, and critics have aptly compared it to OK Computer. Win Butler, never one to lack ambition, aimed to blend the sounds of Depeche Mode and Neil Young on this record. The album's title and concept draw inspiration from Win and Will Butler's childhood in the Houston suburbs. Standout tracks include 'Rococco', 'We Used To Wait', and 'Modern Man'. In 2017, Columbia re - released it on double vinyl, housed in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves. Features: black double vinyl pressing, gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeves, and it's from Columbia Records 2017. Reviewed by Lose Butler in 07/2017.
Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the record, which can affect the sound quality. After each use, carefully put the record back in its inner sleeve and then into the gatefold jacket. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. If the record gets dusty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Remember, treat this vinyl with care, and it'll bring you years of great music.
