An interesting comment I heard was that if Neon Bible was a debut album everyone would be falling over themselves in praising it to the heavens, everyone wants to compare it to Funeral, but lets enjoy it for what it is. A great record by a unique band. And yes to a tour!Wayne Massinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479257741364996537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872024.post-4761282182833643192007-03-06T23:09:00.000+11:002007-03-06T23:09:00.000+11:00"Their first, "Funeral", melted hearts and fried b..."Their first, "Funeral", melted hearts and fried brains and if you saw them live, did strange and beautiful things to your hips."<BR/><BR/>Aha! Awesome review of the album Wayne.<BR/><BR/>Black Mirror is an alright song but it's just a strange one to have up front I think. It's just a bit meh - you think it would make sense to lead with something a little more indicative of where the album was headed.<BR/><BR/>I think Intervention is to Neon Bible what Wake Up is to Funeral. At least, it is for me.<BR/><BR/>I have way too much anticipation about seeing this band live. I really, really hope they tour soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872024.post-91384262224282180552007-03-06T12:58:00.000+11:002007-03-06T12:58:00.000+11:00not to be a bitch, but it's just "arcade fire," th...not to be a bitch, but it's just "arcade fire," there is no "the."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872024.post-49231974816352626612007-03-06T12:06:00.000+11:002007-03-06T12:06:00.000+11:00Fantastic review Wayne and spot on with not allowi...Fantastic review Wayne and spot on with not allowing yourself to compare it to 'Funeral'. It's a completely different album and stands on its own extremely well.<BR/><BR/>I've been listening to this album for ages ever since it leaked and awaiting on my deluxe edition in the post.<BR/><BR/>The track 'Neon Bible' really does grow on you and I've been humming that theme for the past week. Although I love 'Intervention' for its theatrics, I do love 'Ocean of Noise' as one of my favourite tracks on the album.<BR/><BR/>And I can also see Ryan Adams and the Cardinals do a version of (Antichrist Television Blues).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33872024.post-31971698526096804742007-03-06T10:46:00.000+11:002007-03-06T10:46:00.000+11:00I've listened to Neon Bible several times since I ...I've listened to Neon Bible several times since I got it on Saturday, and my thoughts on the songs are similar to yours. Intervention is just great, and I love from The Well and the Lighthouse onwards. Black Mirror I liked when I heard it previously in isolation, but it doesn't quite measure up to the other songs when I listen to them all. The song Neon Bible is the other one that hasn't grabbed me yet.Ian Pyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524850743917264466noreply@blogger.com
