By Baylee Pendleton–
In a departure from its rich, anthemic predecessors, Arcade Fire’s “Everything Now” lacks the cohesiveness to take it from good to great.
Arcade Fire disrupted the indie-rock scene with its freshman album, “Funeral.” Tracks like “Wake Up” and “Crown of Love” embodied the band’s seemingly restless desire to pump meaning back into the genre. Arcade Fire continued to mix genres in unconventional ways, with its exploratory style culminating in the 2013 triumph, “Reflektor.” This album harkened to the band’s previous work while reaching new depths of sound and maintaining a cohesive theme.
