Arcade Fire - WE (2022) Album Review

Canada's indie royalty, Arcade Fire, have struggled this last decade to sustain the immortal high of their first three albums, their latest, WE, seems to want to hark back to that golden era. It almost does so successfully - at times. The first half less so, than a near faultless second, and Butler's lyrics are occasionally hello kids cringe, but there's a raft of compelling and soaring new songs here.
