Arcade Fire's first album turned 10 over the weekend and people couldn't deal with it

We feel old.

NOTHING LIKE A birthday or anniversary to make you feel old.

This weekend, Arcade Fire’s debut album Funeral turned ten years old.

10.

Naturally, this revelation sent people into a tailspin and forced them to contemplate both the passage of time and their rapidly ageing selves.

There was denial.

How on earth can Arcade Fire's Funeral be 10 years old? Someone must have done the maths wrong.

There was confusion.

thought for the afternoon: Arcade Fire's first album is now ten years old. How did that happen?

There was anxiety.

There was the depressing realisation that we are all now, in fact, old.

The Funeral record by Arcade Fire is ten years old today and I still call it their "new record". #OLD
