I remember the time I saw Arcade Fire live: it was absolutely one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They are nothing less than spectacular onstage and their songs just get so much more "life" when they are played live. The concert took place on the second day of SuperBock SuperRock ( July 15th of 2011 ) exactly 239 days after their concert in Lisbon, which ended up being cancelled, due to a NATO conference held in Portugal at the same time. I was so sad when I found out they wouldn't play, I literally began to cry, though in the end, everything worked out. 
So, "The Suburbs" could almost be called something like a "theme record", because almost every song sort of goes around that idea of a suburban life. Although the band decided to strict the idea of the suburbs, it doesn't mean it's an album only about that suburban experience. Personally, I absolutely adore this record, from start to finish. My favourite track "Empty Room" is an explosive combination of the ferocity of the violins sort of "crashing" against the guitars and drums. But also songs like "Ready to Start", "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" and "Month of May" are brilliant rock masterpieces. Altogether, this is a damn fine record.
