Following up on Neil's lead, I finally got round to checking out NMEs' free premiere streaming of Arcade Fire's Neon Bible - and must say that I'm pretty impressed.
Track 4, Keep The Car Running, steals the show for me, quite possibly a contender for tune of the year even. Kind of has a Christmas feel-good vibe without being Christmas-y if that errr, makes sense? Must be the choir thing going on, which does straddle on the cusp of cheese at times, but heh, a little cheese never hurt anyone right?
Anyway, definitely worthy of a purchase. You'll need to register and load the media player first - but all straightforward.
Enjoy.
Glad you liked it. No Cars Go is my current fave.

Having had the album on repeat for the last two weeks, must say the title track 'Neon Bible' is right up there as well. Kind of feels like U2 meets Orbital. Awesome
