Today is judgement day for the release of Arcade Fire‘s seventh studio called album Pink Elephant via Columbia Records.
Unfortunately, it lands with a resounding thud.
This is an emotionless and uninspired collection of songs that feels more like the discarded remnants of 2022’s WE than a bold new chapter.
The band, still navigating a complicated attempt to rehabilitate their public image, delivers a muted and lifeless effort that does little to restore faith in their artistic trajectory.
Pink Elephant lacks the urgency, ambition, and emotional resonance that once defined Arcade Fire’s best work.
What remains is a dull echo—an album going through the motions without conviction or spark.
This is not the comeback anyone was hoping for.
What a boring, muted release from a band once known for setting the world ablaze.
Pink Elephant gets: 📷📷📷📷📷/10.
