Arcade Fire - pink elephant, 2025

But in their haste to join in, they seem to have neglected to check whether they have anything original or interesting to say about the state of the world."

Father John Misty - the suburbs cover, 2015

"It all works, of course, because the guy has the pipes to back it up, with a voice that leaps from sultry murmur to commanding howl at will, sucking rapt audiences along on whatever journey he’s selling, cultural snake oil or no."
