Neon Bible

Neon Bible is the second album by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire. It was released by Merge on March 5, 2007 in Europe and March 6, 2007 in North America. Originally announced on December 16, 2006 through the band's website, the majority of the album was recorded in a church that the band bought and renovated.

Neon Bible was Arcade Fire's highest debuting album on the Billboard 200 at number two. Being released within a month of similar releases 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. Critics offered the self-produced Neon Bible mostly favorable reviews. Publications like NME and IGN praised the album for its grandiose nature, while Rolling Stone and Uncut said that it resulted in a distant and overblown sound.
