Considered a genuine modern classic, Funeral takes a uniquely positive attitude towards death and expands the concept into a grand, wide-ranging album. The first album of Arcade Fire's now-revered back catalogue, it takes listeners on an emotionally draining journey, and is one of the albums most responsible for a reinvigoration of indie music in the internet age. Funeral is most compelling when its dark subject matter coincides with moments up uplifting emotional release, a testament to the effectiveness of carefully-constructed complexity.
