    It does sound similar just not as Abba-esque as Arcade Fire.

    Got the vinyl of the album and it sounds amazing on vinyl. Whatever about the quality of the songs, the production is spot on. Everything Now (the track) turned up loud is immense.

    I'm not sure what I make of this album tbh. It's certainly inconsistent, but it has some wonderful moments too.

    The negatives:
    "Chemistry" is godawful, I may eventually appreciate it in a fun/ironic sense but I'm not there yet.
    "Peter Pan" is forgettable. Not terrible, just very meh.
    "Good God Damn" has the bones of a decent song but it's too repetitive and ends up being a bit irritating.
    And the "Infinite Content" duo are just filler that sound like they were tossed off in about ten minutes.

    The rest of the album is pretty solid, however. "Everything Now" is a banger, "Electric Blue" is a gem that reveals its beauty once you get used to the unusual vocal.
    And "We Don't Deserve Love" is up there with the best they've recorded. I think I prefer those three songs to anything that was on Reflektor.

    , but I don't think there has ever been an Arcade Fire album that couldn't have trimmed a bit of fat (Crown of Love anyone?).

    Ah g'way outta that, nothing wrong with "Crown of Love". If I absolutely had to cut one song from Funeral it would probably be "7 Kettles" but overall I think the album is pretty perfectly balanced and doesn't need any additions or subtractions.
