I remember seeing the music video for "Wake Up" somewhere and liked it really much so I downloaded it. A little later my brother bought it as a present for me.
This is a really lovely album and I love Arcade Fire. I think this album never gets old for me since it's a fun album to listen to. What else can I say? I think all of you have heard this album so I don't think I have much more to add.
