Determining The Best Rock Album Every Year From 1994-2018

2010 — The Suburbs — Arcade Fire

Arguably the band’s most popular release, the album?s commercial appeal escalated after winning the Grammy for Album of the Year. Somewhat of an ode to the Butler brothers’ life in the Houston suburbs, the bombastic sound of the band exudes prominently in this project. “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” is among the group’s best songs and a memorable experience live with Regine Chassagne in charge.
