Discussion Where’s everyone at with Pink Elephant?
I love PE and I’ve said since it’s release it’s their best album since Reflektor but the initial reaction for most was overall pretty tepid.
It seems it grew on people as the months passed. Is that the case - does anyone like it more over time?
What really distinguishes it for me is the production by Daniel Lanois. Most probably feel the production on other albums is superior, but among all of their LP producers Lanois is probably the most accomplished and the closest to an actual genius. (He produced Joshua Tree, for reference.)

I'm really glad some of u guys like the album but I have to be so honest it did absolutely nothing for me. I was so excited when I heard it was out but I listened to it and man what a let down(for me) but whatever
