Can we talk about the fact I actually got to meet this man. If you aren’t listen to Ed Sheeran, I highly advise you to get your Youtube search on. Listen to Lego House, You Need Me I Don’t Need You, The A Team and Little Bird just to name a few!

Review:

“I don’t remember ever sitting down and saying lets make the record sound like this or that or I should say the band. Every record sounds different I never felt like a band should stay within a genre if they don’t wanna stay there.”-Nate Ruess (lead vocalist of FUN.)

I’ve decided against keeping my scientific calculator next to me because I’m not going to sit here and divided each track from “Some Nights” and subtract the five or so musical bars I’m not in love with. Then adding a “pat on the back” sentence to each paragraph to remind people, “I really do still love it.” That is a bunch of bull! Artist don’t put out records so they can write down in history books each single songs pros and cons but to get the fans to cheer over a whole cohesive project that probably has the last year of blood, sweat and tears of the whole band in it. Now with that off my chest let’s look at “Some Nights.”

First impressions are sometimes the deal breaker of the industry weathers it’s a blind date or the thirty or so seconds iTunes gives you before you commit to a purchase. So I went on a blind date with “Some Nights” yesterday. I took a lounging position with my laptop in hand and headed our to the “Live Stream.” I did my daily Internet shuffle as I let the album unfold through my speakers. Wouldn’t you like to know my first thought after hearing a mere thirty seconds of the track Some Nights Intro. Speaking aloud “Genius!” I listened to all tracks letting the music hit more than one emotion. Let’s say when bands can bring smiles to my face and tears in my eyes when I’m completely alone it deserves some type of slow clap. Speaking of clapping incorporating an applause track in some songs was a very edgy move it gives it a movie element. Triggering the “story effect” where this song just became a track in the movie unfolding in your mind. I also loved the fading out of the title track it makes the magic of that song have no true end and I’m okay thinking that it goes on and on like pi. (3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279…). The flow of the tracks is very well put together like they hired a Lego consultant. There is a rise a peak and descend. (Sounds like royal family curriculum) This album represents all the things you need a shrink for, it represents the youth that are lost and looking but it also represents the decision to be a grow up and the emotional things that make you lose hope but this is the album to remind you to go forward. I also have to address the auto tune heard in two are so of the tracks. No, Nate Ruess needs no auto tune and I doubt he ever will, but I think this was a pure effect something you can do in the studio but won’t really happen live unless you are T-pain. It could also be a direct stab to the industry because having a voice with no need for auto tune and using will baffle the crowd. Why. Why? Why! I honestly am completely okay with it the use is subtle enough to not have it stuck in you head during other tracks but cool enough to feel like a sci fi effect in a black in white movie. Now that “Some Nights” and I have been on a couple of dates I want to say I really, really like it. I want to learn the words and experience it live. Over all in a few months I may tell “Some Nights” I love you.

For the people who blame Chevy and Glee for not liking Fun’s new album over “fame” this album was written and recorded before anyone had a super bowl commercial made and a Glee version. The hardest thing for people is change but if you choose to become part of a fan base and a new album is released expecting a change is implied. I would love to quote the people that want the band to stay the same. No change means you wouldn’t even get new songs; it would just be a rerelease. Makes me think it must be hard to live in a world with change because avoiding it is impossible. People will get better at their craft, new instruments will come out and new collaboration will happen. Not everyday can be Monday.

To conclude this album is what I think it must of felt like to be alive when Queen and Phil Collins released music. When their talents made the music have a power of it own. These lyrics will end up in tattoos, on relationship mix CDs and blared at best friend sing alongs.

“Man, you wouldn’t believe the most amazing things that can come from
some terrible nights”-Some Nights by FUN.
