Music review: Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs”

Canadian band Arcade Fire’s third album “The Suburbs” is full of songs seemingly dedicated to escaping the boredom of suburban life. It’s the contrast between our dreams and desires for the future and being confined by the way that we live. It’s the frustration of going nowhere when your heart wants so much to flee to a world you’ve imagined. All are brought to life with layers of soaring guitars and yearning melodies. The lyrics convey your desire to stand out from your peers and do what you always wanted to do. Songs like Rococo and Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) stir your soul – an album to do your dreaming to.
