>Put Your Money on Me and We Don't Deserve Love are absolutely fantastic, though the album as a whole does feel a bit weaker than their previous releases. The album starts and finishes strong, but the middle really lags to me with Chemistry and both versions of Infinite Content.

>Chemistry is carnival-core and I'm loving it, Peter Pan is very nice. I also really enjoyed both version of Infinite Content.
Edit: finished listening, loved it. Absolutely fucking loved it. As someone whose favorite AF album is Reflektor it was super exciting to hear them embrace a synth heavy sound, and at this point it's tied with Reflektor as my fave AF album.

>Bretty good, but is it just me or is the song "Chemistry" just awful. I normally don't ever really hate songs but I don't know what is with this song that really tickles my gag reflex.

>I absolutely love this album but can totally see why it's so divisive. I feel like this album with the exception of few tracks is very 'traditional sounding' and a lot of the songs (for example Everything Now, Chemistry, Infinite_Content, Good God Damn, We Don't Deserve Love) perfectly match the bluesy/country vibes I got from the first promotional pic for this era which really intrigued me and kept me wondering how the album is gonna sound like based on that pic,, and I feel like Win's settlement at New Orleans has definitely impacted the sound of the album. "We Don't Deserve Love" is pretty incredible for me, it's like an electro-country song set in a post-Everything Now Corp-world in 2050. "Peter Pan" almost sounds like an Art Angels-era Grimes song tbh and that's why I love it. I was doubting the band a lot after the 4 singles but after listening to the album as a whole my perspective has completely changed and for me personally this is another great album in their discography.

>We Don't Deserve Love is beautiful. The album has some really good songs, but also imo, Peter Pan, Chemistry and the two Infinite Contents are the weak point. Good album though.

>You know, I gotta say, after my first listen this isn't that bad at all. Rather enjoyable and fun in spots, and then the 1-2 of "Put Your Money On Me" > "We Don't Deserve Love".

>I love this record.
It's playful, soulful, and warm. The country/blues influences really ground the album. The record is a call to youth to search for genuine meaning. It rejects "filling" our homes and our minds, in favour of filling our hearts (Everything Now) and then argues that only this will enable people to avoid dependence on creature comforts. It illustrates the strength of youthful innocence (Peter Pan), satirizes the crassly superficial nature of consumption (Infinite Content), and asserts the timeless value of devotion (Good God Damn) and personal relationships (Put Your Money On Me).
This is a confident record that looks at the world and sees a lot worth celebrating. It's a far cry from the cold, cynical politics of Reflektor, an album that felt joyless by its own right. Everything Now feels like the same band that wrote Funeral, except older, less neurotic, more open-minded about the lighter side of life, and concerned that youth today are getting lost in the aimlessness of consumer culture, media, and politics. This isn't an album that decries the world as vapid or meaningless; to the contrary, this is a record that says wake up and start focusing on what genuinely matters in life before it's too late.

>i love this shit man. like, the main thing that caught my ear is that it sounds so bright (the piano, the voices, etc). it's def experimental, so don't go in expecting reflektor pt 2, or anything like their other albums.
imo, the lyrics are a little bit lackluster overall, and i guess this is due to them not taking themselves too seriously, but the aesthetic the album brings makes up for it. the melodies are really catchy, and beautiful too.
8/10 for me.

>Combining this with Reflektor would create an easy classic.

>It's an amazing album. The cool thing about AF is that sometimes I feel like listening to Neon Bible, sometimes The Suburbs, sometimes Reflector. And each of them always sounds epic when matches with my mood. The disco vibes in Everything Now are just amazing! I really appreciate that they experiment from record to record and bring such a diverse but yet laboriously crafted material.

>Some songs get pretty repetitive (Chemistry, Infinite Content), but I love every other song! Definitely not my favorite album of theirs, but it's quite good!

>Pretty good album I feel like a lot of people are discounting the singles/ released songs. But most of those are the strongest songs on the album. Honestly, this album becomes very good if you cut out chemistry and infinite content. Both IMO are just boring songs. signs of Life Creature comfort electric blue put your money on me and we don't deserve love are all great songs and have that arcade fire feel to them without being derivative.
