The emotional peak of Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs, and its finest moment overall, comes with this two-part suite.
‘Sprawl I’ and ‘Sprawl II’ are very different musically — the former is a minimalist dirge while the latter is an expansive New Wave epic — but the overall tone is consistently melancholy.
Melancholy… that explains why I really dig this.
