What's the big deal about Arcade Fire- Funeral?

I recently bought Arcade Fire's first album, Funeral, after strong recommendations from my friends and it being commonly referred to as their best album by everyone on the internet. I commonly see it called the most emotional of the albums, and have even seen it called "emotionally charged". However, after listening to it several times, I don't understand why people hold it so highly. It's certainly a good album, but I don't hear the same emotion that other people seem to hear. Honestly, the Suburbs stirs up more emotion in me than Funeral does. So what I want to know is: what am I missing?

tldr: What's so great about Funeral?
