Spin loves the new Arcade Fire, The Suburbs (Aug 3rd):

Arcade Fire's blazingly intense third album

This is a bigger, more byzantine Arcade Fire . . .There are no wrong turns.

Radiant with apocalyptic tension and grasping to sustain real bonds, The Suburbs extends hungrily outward, recalling the dystopic miasma of William Gibson's sci-fi novels and Sonic Youth's guitar odysseys. Desperate to elude its own corrosive dread, it keeps moving, asking, looking, and making the promise that hope isn't just another spiritual cul-de-sac. After all, you never know who might be coming in the next car.
