Hi think it sounds pretty good, sure not as big as Neon Bible, but it suits the aesthetic of the record really well IMO. Artistically, and for a band which is becoming as big as Arcade Fire, it shows their integrity not to conform with the earbuds/ computer monitors friendly smash n' bright and so unsufferable corporate "indie" sound.
Personnaly I think the album could have been a bit more concise. But still, this is a coherent and interesting album. I'm a few years older than Win Butler and Regine Chassagne but the lyrical and musical content echoes my exprerience of living in the suburbs in the 80's.
