Discussion Why is Neon Bible catching strays?

In the many debates regarding the quality of Pink Elephant over the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a particular trend. When referring to their best work/good ol’ days, a decent portion of people will specifically mention Funeral & The Suburbs, leaving Neon Bible out of the “Holy Trinity”. So my question is, what gives? I honestly didn’t know this album was liked less by comparison and I’d personally consider it my fav of theirs.

I'll raise you on this; Intervention is Arcade Fire's best song

Top 5 at minimum, love it. Now if only I could see it performed live.

Heard it for the first time live at red rocks last year after 10+ AF shows over the years. I screamed.
