Ready To Start - Arcade Fire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Suburbs is the third studio album by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. It was released on August 2, 2010 in the United Kingdom and August 3, 2010 in North America.[1][2] Coinciding with the announcement the band released a limited edition 12-inch single containing two tracks from the album, "The Suburbs" and "Month of May".[1][3] The album debuted at #1 on the Irish Albums Chart on August 5, the UK Albums Chart on August 8, the U.S. Billboard 200 chart on August 11,[4] and the Canadian Albums Chart on August 11, 2010.[5]
The album received three nominations at the 53rd Grammy Awards: Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album, and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.[6]
The album's lyrical content is inspired by band members Win and William Butler's upbringing in the suburbs of Houston.[7] According to Win Butler, the album "is neither a love letter to, nor an indictment of, the suburbs - it's a letter from the suburbs."[8] The album was recorded in Win Butler and Régine Chassagne's residence in Montreal, with some parts being recorded at the band's studio in Quebec and in New York City.[3] Win Butler describes the overall sound of The Suburbs as "a mix of Depeche Mode and Neil Young,"[9] stating that he wanted the album to sound like "the bands that I heard when I was very young, and wondered what those crazy noises were."[10] It was released by Merge Records in North America and by Mercury Records in the United Kingdom.
The band pressed each completed song to a 12" lacquer, then recorded it back for the digital master of the album.[11] As a result, the CD and digital versions of the album sound the same as the vinyl,[11] although, as with most recent CD and digital releases, there is some compression applied. There are eight alternative covers for the CD version of the album.[12]
