   It's just a different direction from their usual sound. They experimented a bit with Reflektor and it was brilliant but with this theyIt's just a different direction from their usual sound. They experimented a bit with Reflektor and it was brilliant but with this they explored the genre of dance music a bit more with dark themes in the lyrics' subject matter. This may be the weakest album in Arcade Fire discography but definitely a strong record on its own.… Expand

   While Everything Now isn't as perfect as their previous albums, it still has a majority of enjoyable songs; Everything Now, Signs of Life,While Everything Now isn't as perfect as their previous albums, it still has a majority of enjoyable songs; Everything Now, Signs of Life, Creature Comfort, the Infinite Content songs, Electric Blue, Good God Damn, and Put Your Money on Me are all great, however, this album also comes with some of their most weak songs yet, such as: Chemistry and Peter Pan. I really enojoy this album and think there are is much more good than bad in this album, so it's a shame to see it seem so controversial.… Expand

Songs such as Everything Now, Creature Comfort, and Blue Electric are very beautiful, with Creature Comfort even bringing me to tears. The thing that bothers me most are how some of the songs feel repetitive with its lyrics; such as Peter Pan, Chemistry, and Infinite Content.… Expand

Creature Comfort is a balls to the walls statement about modern culture with amazing sound, the album shouldve kept that level of fun, instead we got just a very dull synth-pop experience.… Expand

   I don't know where to start. It's a sad day on which I have to admit that Arcade Fire did not make exactly a 'good' record. The whole conceptI don't know where to start. It's a sad day on which I have to admit that Arcade Fire did not make exactly a 'good' record. The whole concept of 'Everything Now' seems meaningless, and sonically the album is all over the place (they didn't know if they wanted to make a pop, rock, classical, or electro album, so they made it all of the above (?)), and for the most part underwhelming.
   
   The lyrics come across as shallow at several places (hearing them reciting the days of the week in the 3rd verse of 'Signs of Life' made me cringe), and can get very repetitive (how many times can one say the word "chemistry" in one song, which is also called.. you guessed it! 'Chemistry'). Smart lyrics like "We can live/ I don't feel like dying" can't save the song 'Peter Pan' when the actual chorus starts with a line as idiotically-simple as "Be my Wendy/ I'll be your Peten Pan".
   
   Another annoying thing was the two 'Infinite Content' tracks right there at the middle of the album: they just chose to have the same track twice, the first one being a rock version, and the second a slowed-down acoustic one. WHY?!?!?!
   
   On a more positive note, tracks like 'Everything Now', 'Creature Comfort', and 'Electric Blue', though dispersed (you wouldn't imagine these three songs are on the same record), make for enjoyable listens and are worthy of a couple of plays. Also, the way the record feels like it's on a loop, ending right where it started, is a nice touch on the concept of the EVERYTHING NOW.
   
   In conclusion, this album is definitely the worst one Arcade Fire have ever done, and when lead-singer Win asks us in 'Good God Damn' to "put your favourite record on", we will not blast "Everything Now".… Expand
