    In this episode we finally travel into the current millennium as we talk about Arcade Fire's debut studio album Funeral.

The album has haunting lyrics, sweeping arrangements, and a raw emotional core that hits harder with every listen. See what themes hit home for us - and which tracks hit the skip button - as we dive deep into this modern indie classic.
