There are indeed some really good songs on it, but as an album as a whole I think Suburbs is the weakest. I always skip a few songs on the Suburbs, whereas I don't on Funeral and Neon Bible. To me those two just seem to hold a stronger theme as a whole.
I love Neon Bible for the unaccessible murky dystopian semi-gospel album that it is, and the sound of it is incredibly deep. For that reason I think Neon Bible has even aged a little better than Funeral, although the latter remains unmatched in terms of whimsical feel combined with folky fury! Funeral > Neon Bible > Suburbs is the order of fondness.
Here's hoping Reflektor will rank among the favorites![]()
