Guest cult fiction Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The album has received positive reviews from critics. Writing for the BBC, Mike Diver wrote, "The Suburbs is [Arcade Fire's] most thrillingly engrossing chapter yet; a complex, captivating work that, several cycles down the line, retains the magic and mystery of that first tentative encounter." Referring to the critically acclaimed 1997 Radiohead album, Diver went on to say, "You could call it their OK Computer. But it’s arguably better than that." I think critics have forgotten what a weird, wonderful album OK Computer was. Suburbs is good, but it's way too MOR to be compared to OK Computer.
