Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The Suburbs is the third album from the most popular and important band to come out of the Canadian indie rock scene, Arcade Fire. (Their closest competitor would be Broken Social Scene, but I don’t think the bands are all that close.) As we know, “popular” doesn’t always indicate any level of quality, but when it’s paired with “important” that’s usually a good sign.
