Arcade Fire Everything Now

4 stars out of 5 -- "The title track evokes Abba's earworm laboratory, with dizzying melodic ascents and a curveball pygmy-flute solo by Afropop scion Patrick Bebey. 'Signs of Life' conjures Seventies disco funk with horns, hand claps, police sirens and frontman Win Butler's Bronze Age MC flow..."
"'Electric Blue' and full-on Gary Numan dream 'Creature Comfort' are good grooves indeed, without much aspiration toward being anything greater -- which for this hopelessly grandiose band is a breath of fresh air..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Regine Chassagne's delicate, dreamy R&B outing 'Electric Blue' plays like an algorithm's love song."
5 stars out of 5 -- "[U]ltimately it's the album's sense of humanity, not its innate clever-cleverness, that elevates it to something special."
Paste (magazine) - "[T]he album is a fascinating look at the inherent danger of technological oversaturation and the detachment that comes with it."
Clash (Magazine) - "[W]e're rewarded for our patience with the pure magic of heartbreaker 'We Don't Deserve Love'....It truly is one of the band's finest moments."
