5An Eclectic Masterpiece


By R. Gerard


First, a word about a auto-tuning. we will contend that we am generally antithetic to electric strategy of a voice. The disproportion here is that Fun. uses auto-tuning, not to recompense for a soloist's inability to sing (as a disturbingly augmenting series of renouned artists do these days -- as we have seen in his live performances Nate Ruess can unequivocally belt one out). Fun. uses auto-tune as a totally current low-pitched instrument; it's finished tastefully and appropriately, not to recompense for some outspoken shortcoming. Sans auto-tune, Nate Ruess is a crafty high effort who sings yet vibrato, creation his high records in "We Are Young" sound flattering effortless.

The record is one where we don't find yourself skipping over tracks. Each is packaged with a familiar melody. There is not one diseased couple in a record, with a difference being "It Gets Better" (track 5), yet even this is not a bad strain during all.

For many, "We Are Young," with a massive, anthemic carol used in a Chevy blurb and part of Fox's Glee, is a lane that unprotected them to Fun. For a rest of us that have been with Nate given his days in The Format, this record is a sophomore record with Fun., following a unusual "Aim and Ignite." There is no "sophomore slump" here where a good indie rope becomes a bit some-more renouned and a bit some-more commercialized. Rather Fun. has partly changed divided from a sound of "Aim and Ignite" grown their possess sound out of an effective consistent of opposite styles and genres:

At some instances ("Intro" and "Some Nights") Nate Ruess seems to serve Queen. The carol "Why Am we a One" is kaleidoscopic with early Elton John. Select bars in "All Alone" relate of early Maroon5, while a complicated drum and short, elementary ostinato in "One Foot" are utterly apparently Ruess's use of hip-hop elements. This lane is a standout, showcasing Fun.'s songwriting ability -- a tune that builds in power over a elementary exercise of a elementary 1-1-4-5 chord progression. The lane "Stars" starts out as a run-of-the-mill choice stone piece, afterwards yet transition, changes impression into an extended R&B shabby shred with effective (not compensatory) use of auto-tune cradled by classically-inspired strings. It blends these influences together into something original-sounding, while somehow maintaining a indie roots. Each strain is in a pivotal signature that is closely associated a prior song, creation a whole manuscript fit together as one whole, well-crafted structure. Musicians will be anxious during this.

Musically, a songs are filled with dictatorial instrumentations and compositional techniques that keep a listening knowledge interesting. For example, sheer dash changes, as in "We Are Young," and modulations to teenager pivotal as in a finish of "One Foot" aren't only crafty insertions. Rather, they enrich a already noted melodies.

5Wild, fun, youthful, and ardent sound


By Metaphysical Realist


This is only a great, good album. I'd been streaming it for a final week or so, and it's only so uninformed and so energetic. The songs constraint a wild, ardent and childish sound in a capillary of The Naked and Famous, Foster a People and Cage a Elephant. It's a kind of song that creates we wish to burst for fun and do furious and crazy things---just see a video for "We Are Young" ([...]). I'm not compelling violence, though, so be good. :)

5Love!


By E. Fields


I happened to hear "We are Young" on a radio and was now intrigued by this band. Downloaded a whole manuscript as shortly as we could, best manuscript I've bought in a prolonged time! Fantastic!
