I will; I've heard Funeral is better but they're both classic, hope that's true.

I fukking get my music from Wal-Mart cuz I drive a truck, and never really get to go to music stores, but sometimes they have like Radiohead, Marley, Nirvana. I'm always a little surprised that they actually sell stuff other than Miley, the Jonas Bros. and Trace Adkins.

If you do get Neon Bible get in on CD rather than download, the sleave art inside really is as cool as f**k. Adds another dimension to the music as well.

I never download...........I just occasionally turn a Hastings or Barnes & Noble into a truck stop.

Much better to play CD's while I'm driving than set my laptop up front with me, especially in Chicago, and cities that treat their streets like a fukking offroad adventure.

Great album....their best in my opinion.

Yeah, like the big question is, The Funeral or Neon Bible? Both albums are so exceptional, it is hard to choose. I will listen to Neon Bible and be like, "Well, I kinda like this better..." Then I will listen to The Funeral, and think differently.

I've just started getting into this band. As a whole I'd say Neon Bible is better, but in terms of more memorable tracks Funeral is better. So far my favorite tracks by them are Rebellion (I dont care how many cool points I lose with the hipster crowd), Neighborhood #3, and Black Mirror. And yeh I really can't get into Régine Chassagne voice.

Exactly as I feel. Neon Bible is a much better "start to finish" album, but funeral defnitely has it with the individual songs. Maybe the next album will be the best of both of both worlds

Yeah, I am the same way. I was surprised to learn that Bowie had a lot to do with their rise to quasi-fame. That had to have been such a neat experience to work with a guy of Bowie's stature.

Funeral is my favorite of the albums. IMO, Keep the Car Running is the only track on Neon Bible up to the standard of the better songs on Funeral.

Her voice is kind of interesting. I actually really like it in "The Woodlands" off of the Arcade Fire EP.

Intervention is quite an epic song as well.

They put on a great show when I saw them live - I'd say their performance was at least equal to that of RATM who also played the same night. You can't argue with pure anthemic energy.
