July 28, 20177 yr Saw them live a few weeks ago and they really are unparalleled in terms of energy they bring to the stage, amazing. Their ode to the Manchester attack at the end was beautiful and heartbreaking in equal measure. Just giving the album its first listen now. I'll be back ~~~
July 29, 20177 yr After all the negative feedback ever since the album leaked, as well as me generally being really unimpressed with most of the pre-release singles, I went into this expecting the worst, but the album goes down pretty well together. Probably my least favourite of the 5 though, it just doesn't have the highs of their older albums which have always had at least one song that lands as one of my absolute favourites of the year.
July 29, 20177 yr Quite impressed with this. Everything Now and Electric Blue are definitely the standout tracks.
July 29, 20177 yr Their new album does sound a little poor, I love Arcade Fire to bits, but their new material is hardly ticking any boxes, it might grow on me after a few more listens, The single though 'Everything Now' I'm loving it.
July 31, 20177 yr I understand the criticism to an extent, it peaks early and generally a bit unoriginal musically and lyrically compared to the likes of Reflektor, but I still think it's another very strong album from them, the production's generally great and it's lovely to hear Regine have a lead vocal again :wub: (even if Electric Blue isn't quite clicking with me yet).
August 1, 20177 yr Author Their 'social commentary' across the album is so cringeworthy, and Reflektor sounds like the sonic progression from this. It's just a massive misstep. I'm a little gutted, the sales are impressive though.
August 2, 20177 yr Everything Now is wonderful. I have yet to have the chance to purchase the album and from seeing some of the reviews i am skeptical of purchasing. Is Everything Now any way reflective of the rest of the album for those here who have purchased it.
August 6, 20177 yr It's okay. I think the main issue is that the singles were so strong, especially 'Everything Now', the rest of the album rests in its shadow. It's a pleasant enough listen but it's not a patch on the first three I wouldn't say.
August 6, 20177 yr First track of theirs I've checked, I know they a huge band but they were one of the few I hadn't actually checked out any of their songs before, so hearing 'Everything Now' on the radio got me really interested in listening to the older stuff which I will do at some stage. This is excellent though, very unique and cool little track! Edited August 6, 20177 yr by Rob S~
March 15, 20187 yr Put Your Money On Me and We Don't Deserve Love have been combined together in this short film. W7SPIFAwwGA
February 17, 20196 yr https://www.nme.com/news/music/arcade-fire-...r-later-2448451 Probably too early for a new topic, but a new single will be releasing this year!
