Description
"...a double LP that featured the album on three sides of the vinyl at 180-gram quality and an etching on the fourth side. This release also came with a code to allow purchasers to download the entire album in the MP3 format. Neon Bible is the second studio album by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. It was released on March 5, 2007 in Europe and March 6, 2007 in North America by Rough Trade and Merge, respectively. Originally announced on December 16, 2006 through the band's website,[1] a majority of the album was recorded in a church that the band bought and renovated.[2]
Neon Bible was Arcade Fire's highest debuting album on the Billboard 200 at number two. Being released within a month of similar debuts by The Shins' Wincing the Night Away and Modest Mouse's We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, Neon Bible was cited as an example of the commercialization of indie. Compared to the band's debut, Funeral, Neon Bible has experienced breakthrough commercial success. During its first week, it debuted at number one in both Canada and Ireland, and number two in the United States, the United Kingdom and Portugal. In the United States, Neon Bible was out-charted only by Notorious B.I.G.'s greatest hits compilation in the U.S. and the Kaiser Chiefs's Yours Truly, Angry Mob in the U.K.[26] It was certified gold by the CRIA in Canada in March 2007.
