But it also made a heavy impact on fans and - to the surprise of many - won Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards. This immensely visceral album triggers a sincere celebration of not formative years spent in a cookie-cutter development, but of feeling self-important, immortal, and desperate to escape. It examines youth and amplifies an innate sense of longing and remembrance.\u003cbr\u003eEric Eidelstein's \u003ci\u003eThe Suburbs\u003c\/i\u003e explores this weird, utopic recollection of youth by comparing the album to suburban scenes in film and television, such as \u003ci\u003eBlue Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Americans, \u003c\/i\u003e and Spike Jonze's \u003ci\u003eScenes from the Suburbs\u003c\/i\u003e. Through the close examination of film and televised depictions of the suburbs, both past and present, Eidelstein delves into the societal factors and artistic depictions that make the suburbs such a fascinating cultural construct, and uncovers why the album creates such a relatable and universal sense of reminiscence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Eidelstein\u003c\/b\u003e is a film\/TV critic based in Los Angeles, and his work has been featured in \u003ci\u003eIndiewire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eComplex\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCatapult\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBackstage\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 6.6 x 4.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 07, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47399762821298,"sku":"9781501336461","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/cb3547c145903e0deb380c691e38095f.webp?v=1778077659","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/arcade-fires-the-suburbs-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
