Pink Floyd-The Wall

Roger Waters' 81:09 of glory, this concept album touches base on isolation from the world, hence the name The Wall. The second part of this album, I found it quite depressing considering the fact it was told by someone completely isolated from the world and is regretting that decision. But the first disc isn't, so that's good. "Comfortably Numb" is quite hypnotic and the musical style "The Trial" sounds... well... different. But The Wall is a pretty neat album and I did enjoy it.

Bottom Line: Depressing, sad, but yet so incredible. 4/5

Arcade Fire-Neon Bible

Arcade Fire's commercial breakthrough, the majority of this album was recorded in a church. (hence, neon bible). My first impression was to the different, more orchestral sounds compared to their other album, Funeral. I must say that did make it more listenable than Funeral. Win Butler didn't sound like he was choking on something, so that helped a little. I loved the very progressive sound that I heard and the buckets of different instruments as well. Overall, this was a great album.

Bottom Line: Great album 4.5/5
