― JaXoN (JasonD), Sunday, 9 January 2005 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

it reminds me a lot of the first interpol album; post-punky but referencing different english bands

― kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 9 January 2005 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

It reminds me a lot of the first Interpol album too, in the sense that I will listen to it 3 times and remember 1 song.

ooo, this "Rebellion" song is neat. the opening reminds me of early stereolab for some odd reason

that album is boring.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Sunday, 9 January 2005 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

it's about somebody dying and its called funeral

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 9 January 2005 15:54 (twenty-one years ago)

These songs demonstrate a collective subliminal recognition of the powerful but oddly distanced pain that follows the death of an aging loved one. Funeral evokes sickness and death, but also understanding and renewal; childlike mystification, but also the impending coldness of maturity.

that it's so easy to embrace this album's operatic proclamation of love and redemption speaks to the scope of The Arcade Fire's vision. It's taken perhaps too long for us to reach this point where an album is at last capable of completely and successfully restoring the tainted phrase "emotional" to its true origin. Dissecting how we got here now seems unimportant. It's simply comforting to know that we finally have arrived.

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 9 January 2005 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

ok ok i'll try to like it.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Sunday, 9 January 2005 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 9 January 2005 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

ok ok i'll cry to like it.

― chaki in charge (chaki), Sunday, 9 January 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know why i said that this morning. i just don't like it. the fact that it's about dying doesn't make it good.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Sunday, 9 January 2005 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

The band poured unlimited emotion into this record and in the process has left themselves vulnerable. This trust creates an amazing experience that a listener can really feel personally invited to. You can sense that something special is happening and somehow you feel a small part of it. You get it like you get the themes on the album of love, loss, birth, death, and family.

Like many classic releases, Funeral strikes a chord deep within and establishes a personal connection. The reason why? Because The Arcade Fire digs tunnels like us, watches pots boil like us, falls asleep in the backseat like us, and loves the bittersweet merry go round of this life -- like us. To top it off, they present all of this accompanied by some of the finest pop music and hooks of the year. And though named how it is, I believe we should celebrate this album in the finest tradition of an Irish Wake. For The Arcade Fire have revealed one of the best albums of the year, hands down.

this would be an interesting match up with Five-Eight's "Oh Surgery"
