“Everybody Hates Me” has one saving grace: a triumphant EDM drop to rival “Roses,” delivering exactly the kind of sugar-coated synthy satisfaction they deliberately withheld on the previous whiners “Sick Boy” and “You Owe Me.” Everybody might hate the Chainsmokers, but they’re at their best when they’re pretending they don’t care.
