Arcade Fire

Released: 21st May 2007.
It was a mammoth task for Arcade Fire to follow up such a massive record like "Funeral", but the Canadian sextet managed to do so with this year's less immediate, yet equally brilliant, "Neon Bible". One of the album's strongest tunes, this stunning track combines everything that makes them tick - excellent orchestration, explosive arpeggios - into catchy, well-crafted pieces of musical genius. With songs this big, they'll certainly struggle to top this.
