New Arcade Fire? Yes, please! Out Tuesday, The Suburbs was easily my most anticipated release of 2010 and the wait has definitely paid off. A more diverse collection of tunes than 2007's Neon Bible, The Suburbs mixes in stronger rockers alongside the band's general baroque pop niceties, and pulls it all together with, you guessed it, a look at the emotionally desolate nature of the 'burbs. Now, picking four faves from The Suburbs was no easy task, but here are the four tracks I simply can't get enough of:

  • "Ready to Start"
  • "Empty Room" 
  • "Month of May"
  • "We Used to Wait"

If you're staying in this Thursday night, don't miss the band's show, streaming live from Madison Square Garden. Oh, and did I mention it's being directed by Terry Gilliam? 'Cause it is.
