Arcade Fire to return

Interesting to see how the upcoming third record from Arcade Fire is received. Funeral was rapturously received and deservedly so, yet Neon Bible received a much cooler reception which was inevitable given what the unrealistic expectations surrounding it. In truth, Neon Bible was a largely disappointing record in which the blue-collar Springsteen fixation married to an apocalytpic world view resulted in a band which sounded confused - are we headed into U2 territory or do we create Funeral Mk II? In the end it was neither and so the expectation for album number three is not at the same level for Neon Bible. Still a compelling band as the Blogotheque clip below confirms.
