─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
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 New York
City's "two Davids" (Bowie and Byrne), all the while
amassing a devoted following that descended upon shows
like sinners at a tent revival, engaging in the kind of
artist appreciation that can easily turn to a false
sense of ownership. On their alternately wrecked and
defiant follow-up, Neon Bible, one can sense a bit of a
Wall being erected (Win Butler's Roger Waters/Bruce
Springsteen/Garrison Keillor-style vocal delivery
notwithstanding) around the group. If Funeral was the
goodbye kiss on the coffin of youth, then Bible is the
bitter pint (or pints) after a long day's work. The
brooding opener, "Black Mirror," with its sinister
"Suffragette City"-inspired groove and murky refrain of
"Mirror, Mirror on the wall/Show me where them bombs
will fall," sets an immediate world-weary tone that
permeates that majority of Neon Bible's Technicolor
pages. As expected, those sentiments are amplified with
all of the majestic and overwrought power that has
divided listeners since the group's ascension to indie
rock royalty, but despite a tendency toward midtempo
balladry and post-fame cynicism, they're anything but
dull. It's the triumphant orchestral remake of live
staple "No Cars Go" and the infectious "Keep the Car
Running" -- the latter sounds like a 21st century
update of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band's "On
the Dark Side" -- that will most appeal to Funeral
fans, and when the bottom drops out a minute and a half
into the pipe organ-led "Intervention" and Butler wails
"Who's gonna reset the bone," it's hard not get caught
up in all of the dystopian fervor. "Black Wave/Bad
Vibrations" and "The Well and the Lighthouse" continue
the band's explorations into progressive song
structures and lush mini-suites, the thunder-filled
"Ocean of Noise" is reminiscent of Bossanova-era
Pixies, and the stark (at first) closer "My Body Is a
Cage" straddles the sawhorse of earnest desperation and
classic rock & roll self-absorption so effortlessly
that it demands to be either turned off or all the way
up. Neon Bible takes a few spins to digest properly,
and like all rich foods (orchestra, harps, and gospel
choirs abound), it's as decadent as it is tasty --
theatricality has never been a practice that the
collective has shied away from -- but there's no
denying the Arcade Fire's singular vision, even when it
blurs a little.
