Arcade Fire - Pink Elephant (2025)


Pink Elephant marks Arcade Fire's return amidst a backdrop of controversy and introspection. The album delves into themes of self-reflection and redemption, with tracks like "Year of the Snake" and "Stuck in My Head" showcasing the band's signature blend of emotive lyrics and layered instrumentation.

While some songs resonate with sincerity, others have been criticized for their ambiguous messaging and lack of cohesion. Overall, Pink Elephant presents a band grappling with its identity, offering moments of brilliance interspersed with uncertainty.
