Thoughts: Arcade Fire presents Everything Now, but something is missing

Like many people, Arcade Fire means something to me. Though I came to the band fairly late, having bought The Suburbs in 2010 to accompany a road trip with friends, I was instantly hooked. Unfortunately their new LP Everything Now has little of what attracted me to the band, and may be the most disappointing album I've heard this year.
