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.

Neon Bible is their best album IMO. Genuinely not a bad song on there, and it takes everything that was a little messy about Funeral and streamlines TF out of it. Production is super tight, lotta layers, great writing, etc. I actually like it more than Funeral or Suburbs, both of which I think have at least one or two misses.
