Description: The highly anticipated second album from the Arcade Fire, which debuted in March 2007 at the No. 2 spot on the US and UK charts. Deeper, darker, and more majestic than its predecessor. Highlight tracks include "Intervention" and "My Body Is A Cage", which both utilize a church pipe organ (a new addition to the band's already extensive instrumental arsenal), the frantic "(Antichrist Television Blues)", and chilling opener "Black Mirror".

Description: The 2004 critically acclaimed debut from Montreal's Arcade Fire. "Funeral" layers crunchy guitars, intricate string arrangements, and desperate crescendos for an album that is by turns melancholic, playful, and angry, but thoroughly beautiful. Highlight tracks include the gorgeous, howling "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)", the driving intensity of "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" and its concert set-mate "Rebellion (Lies)", and the powerful anthem "Wake Up".
