From Reflektor’s grandest moments (like the opening title track and “Afterlife”) to its most heartbreaking (“It’s Never Over”) this is an album that aims to express every emotion and do it bigger than anyone else would dare. It’s a record where “Here Comes The Night Time” needs to have a second go-around on Disc 2, and where the final and most purely beautiful track, “Supersymmetry,” ends with a five-minute ambient comedown that’s unexpected, but in context, greatly appreciated. It’s the record that Arcade Fire didn’t need to risk making, but they did anyway and we’re lucky to have it. This is an album that sets a new milestone. From now on, we’re listening to a post-Reflektor Arcade Fire, and they’ve never been more exciting. –Miles [LISTEN]
