Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Suburbs is the third studio album by Arcade Fire, released in 2010. A Concept Album, leader Win Butler wrote the bulk of the lyrics inspired by memories of growing up in The Woodlands, which is, yes, a suburb of Houston, Texas.The Suburbs can be seen as the album that really broke Arcade Fire as a globally huge rock act. It debuted at the top of the charts in Canada, The United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, and subsequently won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2011. |

Concept Album: Not a linear story, but serves as “a letter from the suburbs” as Butler put it. |

Technology Marches On: In-Universe the subject of “We Used To Wait”, which isn’t wholly positive on things like texting taking over from letter writing. |

Step Up to the Microphone/Vocal Tag Team: To date this is the Arcade Fire album where Regine Chassagne takes the most lead vocals, as distinguished from backing and harmony vocals. |

Hipster: On “Rococo”, the band – who have kind of a hipster background themselves – take on hipster audiences who abandoned them for being too mainstream. |

Shout-Out: The first line of “Ready To Start”, “If the business men drink my blood…” is lyrically very close to Bob Dylan's “All Along The Watchtower”. |

Dark Reprise: The title track sounds at least tentatively hopeful when played at the top of the album. The abbreviated version at the end sounds tired and defeated. |
