据外电报道，据2005年底的一次在乐评人中进行的调查显示，《Funeral》被评为2005年的最佳专辑.在这次的评选中，虚拟卡通乐队街头霸王(Gorillaz)的专辑《Demon Days》位于《Funeral》之后，名列第二位。美国金牌说唱制作人兼歌手坎耶·维斯特(Kanye West)的第二张个人专辑《Late Registration》名列第三，Sufjan Stevens的专辑《Illinoise》名列第四，而Elbow乐队的专辑《Leaders Of The Free World》和“安东尼与约翰逊”(Antony & The Johnsons)获得2005英国水星奖的专辑《I Am A Bird Now》分列第五和第六位。
Funeral is the debut album by the Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, released on September 14, 2004 in North America by Merge Records and on February 28, 2005 in Europe by Rough Trade Records. It was given its title because several band members had recently lost members of their families: Régine Chassagne's grandmother died in June 2003, Win and William Butler's grandfather (swing musician Alvino Rey) in February 2004, and Richard Reed Parry's aunt in April 2004.
Preliminary recordings for Funeral were made during the course of a week in August 2003 at the Hotel2Tango in Montreal, Quebec, and the recording was completed later that year all in an analogue recording format.
The album produced five singles. The most successful, "Rebellion (Lies)", peaked at #19 on the UK Singles Chart. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Alternative Music Album. It received wide critical acclaim and topped many year-end and decade-end lists. According to the website Metacritic, the album had the second most appearances on end-of-decade Top 10 lists, only behind Radiohead's Kid A. In the updated version of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, it was ranked at #151.
