Rank the Tracks: Arcade Fire's Funeral

Post by BleuPanda »

The basic idea is to rank the tracks off the album each week to see how each track compares to each other. It's an excuse to go back to classic albums and a way to gauge the best and worst tracks of the most acclaimed albums. Simply rank all the tracks from your favorite to your least.

I plan to go in cycles of decades with the 1950s and 2010s once every other cycle. I will go with the top album of each respective decade, but I might skip questionable albums (I doubt anyone wants to rank the tracks of 69 Love Songs, no matter how great the album is). Next week will be Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Also, if you missed an album that you want to rank, you can do so in this thread. Please keep it to 1 old album per week. I will update the results. Please don't bump previous threads. I'd like to keep everything in the current topic and the result topic.

9. Rebellion (Lies)
7. Wake Up
1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
6. Crown of Love
2. Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)
8. Haiti
4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
3. Une année sans lumière
10. In the Backseat
5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

The most difficult decisions for me were the two positions at the top and the two positions at the bottom. On any other day I could have put "Wake Up" at #1.

My 4th favorite album of all time !

7. Wake Up
10. In the Backseat
4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
6. Crown of Love
2. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
8. Haiti
9. Rebellion (Lies)
3. Une année sans lumière

Hardest part is to rank the Neighborhood tracks, that Laika is "only" my 7th favorite track of the album shows how much I love Funeral. Still, Wake Up in a landslide, top 10 songs of all time.
Heck, the 3/4 song is not even in my top 5!!! (my fav song of each of the other albums in my top 5 is a 3/4 song : Velvet Waltz, Between the Bars, A Song for the Deaf and Kanye's Spaceship).

Next week should be interesting too ! (I would have voted for Nevermind if I had had a bit more time in my hands)

One of my favourite albums:

1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
9. Rebellion (Lies)
4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
7. Wake Up
10. In the Backseat
2. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
6. Crown of Love
8. Haiti
5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
3. Une année sans lumière


Rebellion would be #1 if the studio version had the same power as the live performances.

I think In The Backseat is a beautiful song and just edges out the equally brilliant Rebellion and Wake Up.

In the Backseat: 10
Rebellion (Lies): 10
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels): 9.5
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out): 9
Neighborhood #2 (Laika): 9
Crown of Love: 8
Haiti: 7.5
Une année sans lumière: 7
Wake Up: 7
Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles): 6.5

I've never understood the big fuss about "Wake Up". It's nice, but nothing special, IMO.

I remember hearing this album for the first time and not really getting it. Now it's one of maybe two or three albums where I give every single track a 7/10 or higher.

My ranking:
Wake Up
Rebellion (Lies)
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
In the Backseat
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Haiti
Crown of Love
Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
Une Annee Sans Lumiere

ALSO: finally got to give Revolver a new listen-through, so here goes:

1. Eleanor Rigby
2. Here, There & Everywhere
3. And Your Bird Can Sing
4. I'm Only Sleeping
5. Tomorrow Never Knows
6. For No One
7. Doctor Robert
8. She Said She Said
9. Taxman
10. Good Day Sunshine
11. Got To Get You Into My Life
12. I Want To Tell You
13. Love You To
14. Yellow Submarine

Don't get how Doctor Robert has become bottom-drawer. I think it's one of the most compulsively enjoyable tracks off the album (at least besides the 6 top songs, which i find sorta set-in-stone in whatever ranking one chooses). Hope to get up on track with What's Going On for next week.

7. Wake Up
3. Une année sans lumière
2. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
9. Rebellion (Lies)

4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
6. Crown of Love
8. Haiti

P.S. : the "lack" of love for Une année sans lumière surprised me.

I've recently realized how great of a song Haiti is as a stand-alone track. Wouldn't be surprised if it's my favorite from the album in a year or two.

Agree with Jackson (many years later) about Haïti, it sounds like nothing else. But then again, so many tracks on this album seem to occupy their own fascinating worlds:

01| Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
08| Haïti
04| Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
07| Wake Up
10| In The Backseat
02| Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
09| Rebellion (Lies)
06| Crown of Love
03| Une Année Sans Lumière
05| Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

Re: Rank the Tracks: Arcade Fire's Funeral

Post by Heylazaro »

Another album where the whole is better than the sum of its parts. I would say that if I rate songs individually The Neon Bible is above Funeral, but when listening to both of them in full funeral stands out the clear winner.

1- 9. Rebellion (Lies)
2- 4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
3- 1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
4- 2. Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
5- 6. Crown of Love
6- 7. Wake Up
7- 8. Haiti
8- 3. Une année sans lumière
9- 5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
10- 10. In the Backseat
