Why 'The Suburbs' is Arcade Fire's best album

Arcade Fire's third album 'The Suburbs' came off the back of two indie rock beasts in 'Funeral' and 'Neon Bible'. When it was released in 2010 it took a while to settle in but it eventually revealed itself to be a thoughtful record that rewarded repeated listens.
In this video, I explore how Win Butler and Regine Chassagne's childhood in the 'burbs inspired the album's strong theme, how songs like 'We Used To Wait' toyed with our sense of nostalgia, why their unexpected Grammy win created a meme and much more!
I saw Arcade Fire only once when they headlined Leeds Festival in 2010 just a few weeks after the album came out. They were on straight after the Libertines who had just reformed and it was a spectacular and emotional doubleheader that I will always remember.
What is your favourite Arcade Fire memory? Did you see them live back in the day?

I was working at a record store when this came out. It really sums up those days for me, and has become a nostalgic staple. Thank you for your video.

It’s a masterpiece, it’s something that really wasn’t made that long ago that you can look back on and just feel the emotional enormity it has. The first 3 albums are magical

I was listening to it when it came out and it gave me a feeling that something was ending. Little I 've known that I was celebrating the death of my generation with one of the best albums of my time. Best of Arcade Fire indeed..

Heading out on my push bike with no great plan but something was always happening somewhere. A big world to explore with no mobile phone, I love those days.
