Never heard their music, but seen a LOT of posts about this band. Usually
like the music raved in the group, i.e. the killers. What cd should I
buy?

Arcade Fire are to Killers as Springsteen is to Bryan Adams.

Start with their best: Funeral.

I would get the new one, Neon Bible, and work back. I just recently
bought their 2 albums and their EP. I found that it was the type of
music that takes several listens before it starts to grow on you. I
found that the new one caught me before the other 2 did. The new one
has several songs that grab you, such as "Keep the Car Running" and
the other song (not sure the title), but it is the one with the line
"Not Gonna Work in the Deli Downtown".
