    I like Frank the person and artist and I like the idea of Frank, but I was never someone who thought his music was all that great.  I loved the albums, but I did not play them every minute.  Arcade Fire, and this ALBUM I would play every minute.

    This album alerted me to what was coming with Trump.   It was not really sinking in until I heard this group and this album The Suburbs.  I saw that the music was amazing.  And the words were haunting but I didn't understand and wanted to know more.  That is the sign of a MAJOR group to me and they won the MTV best new artists award and then Album of the year for this one.

    It is one of the CLASSICS that, had this been 1960, they would have been like Dylan and the Beatles.  Now a days, music is not the message it used to be.

    BUT THIS ALBUM, you need to get.  It is considered OLD now by millennial standards, but I am no millennial. I am a visionary and they gave me hope that the youth of America by way of Texas and Canada are not mindless retards after all.

    Of course they are singing about the fact that we are living in bleak and without hope.  My favorite theme.

    The Suburbs is the third studio album by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, released on August 2, 2010. Coinciding with its announcement, the band released a limited edition 12-inch single containing the title track and "Month of May".[2][3] The album debuted at No. 1 on the Irish Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the US Billboard 200 chart,[4] and the Canadian Albums Chart.[5] It won Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards, Best International Album at the 2011 BRIT Awards, Album of the Year at the 2011 Juno Awards, and the 2011 Polaris Music Prize for best Canadian album. Two weeks after winning Grammy's Album of the Year, the album jumped from No. 52 to No. 12 on the Billboard 200, the album's highest ranking since August 2010.[6]

    Arcade Fire released a deluxe edition CD/DVD of The Suburbs on June 27, 2011 (everywhere except the U.S. and Canada). The American and Canadian versions were released on August 2, 2011, to coincide with the original album's anniversary. The new version included two brand new tracks recorded during The Suburbs album sessions ("Culture War" and "Speaking in Tongues", the latter featuring David Byrne), an extended version of album track "Wasted Hours", Spike Jonze's short film, Scenes from the Suburbs, and an 80-page booklet as well as other exclusive content.
