From Arcade Fire's third studio album, the track was described by the NME as having the "urgent fractious energy of 'Tunnels'... stately, melancholic but resolute, with an urgent rhythm and riff."

An interactive online only video, The Wilderness Downtown filled social networking sites twitter and facebook, again causing Arcade Fire to top Hype Machine. Billboard found Chris Milk's interactive video, 'an eye-popping interactive film/experience… further pushing the boundaries of the music video concept" while the Guardian called it 'an extremely impressive use of technology'.
