Editorial Reviews
Having earned widespread acclaim with their 2009 debut album, "AIM AND IGNITE," fun. decided to raise the stakes with this album, their first on Fueled By Ramen, by teaming with noted producer Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Drake).
The first single from "SOME NIGHTS," "We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monáe)," is available now via all digital retailers. The single has generated quite a buzz, hitting the top 3 on The Hype Machine music blog aggregator in its first week of release, not to mention the top 5 on iTunes' "Top Alternative Songs" sales ranking. What's more, "We Are Young" has received major airplay from KCRW's influential Morning Becomes Eclectic, while USA Today applauded the "baroque indie-popsters" for "(making) a counterintuitive play for the big time, slowing down for the massive singalong chorus."

I won't go through each song, but personal stand-outs for me are Why Am I the One, All Alone, and Stars.
Nate Ruess builds themes throughout the songs, calling back to other songs in the record and even the previous Fun. record (Aim and Ignite, also pretty damn amazing). Musically dense with plenty of soaring chords & melodies, the Fun. record rewards multiple listens to tease out its intricacies. No song is a flop.
If you like (or liked, before you heard it a thousand times) We Are Young, you will find much on this record to satisfy your taste for pop-conscious uniquely-constructed rock anthems. Fun. doesn't sound like everyone else on the radio, and I am oh so happy about that.
When I listen to "Aim and Ignite" the band remind me of Vampire Weekend. When I listen to "Some Nights" the band remind me of no one, and this is a good thing for them. They seem to be carving out their own unique niche this time around. They hit you hard with a 1-2-3 punch of "Some Nights", "We Are Young" and "Carry On", three of the best pop songs I've heard in a long while. Each carries a distinctive melody, catchy hooks, and lyrics that you can identify with.
Unfortunately, things get crazy and shaky after those songs. And unfortunately, you could argue that the album is front loaded as a result.
"It Gets Better" starts off with a jarring, really obnoxious AutoTuned vocal and irritating electronic beats before settling into a nice groove and hooky chorus--an uneven song at best. "Why Am I The One" brings things back around, but it's not quite as strong as the first three tracks.
Then things really get odd with the almost dub-step sounding "All Alone" which, again, has this very catchy chorus, but the verses aren't that great. "All Alright" is an oddity with it's depressing lyrics with this exuberant production, and almost uplifting quality to it. "One Foot" is so irritating with it's repetitive beat and little variation in structure. I think it's my least favorite track and it should have been left off as a b-side.
Finally, you arrive at the nearly seven minute "Stars" which restores the album back to it's original likability. That, followed by the bonus track "Out On The Town"--one of the best tracks here--in fact, I think you should try programming it right after "Carry On" and get a four-track punch.
So why am I giving "Some Nights" four stars instead of three or two? Well, the fact remains that the album is pretty good in a bizarre, jagged, and uneven manner, but it somehow works in the end. What I am hoping for with the next release is a refined approach, with more focus spent on capturing the magic of a great pop song like "Some Nights", "We Are Young" and "Carry On". If they can bottle that magic and make a 10 track third album that builds upon "Some Nights" they could be the next great thing in terms of classic pop music makers with some longevity. They have great potential, let's just harness it next time. "Some Nights" is a great improvement over "Aim and Ignite", so give it your best shot gentlemen.
Here's how "Some Nights" compares with "Aim and Ignite":
2009 Aim and Ignite: Three Stars
2012 Some Nights: Four Stars
It's such a variety of music all in one place. I'm a new [fun,] fan so I can't name any of their names, but the lead singer's voice is so incredibly sexy...It's gorgeous! And his vocal range! Ah, I think I could marry his voice.
My favorites now (for I'm sure there will be more once I get to know the songs):
1) Some Nights Intro. (for a light, dramatic, feeling)
2) Some Nights (when you want to feel spiritually connected)
3) We Are Young *ft. Janelle Monae* (probably their most known song, the title should give a clue;D)
4) Carry On (it's sort of a slow, empowering song)
& then these two are one's I didn't know until last night when I played the CD for the first time and they immediately caught my attention...
5) It Gets Better (I love the beginning, the first words are: "What have we done; oh my God.")
9) One Foot (It's also an empowering song, lyrics that help: "I'll put one foot, in front of the other one.")

個人的な意見ですが不思議な魅力を感じる曲でした、アルバムを聴き込んで行くうちに、好きな曲も増えて行く可能性があると思います。届いた商品は綺麗な状態で指定日に届きました。
Den Song fand ich toll, konnte man gut hören. Aus einer Laune heraus kaufte ich mir das Album. Dabei war ich zunächst skeptisch. Meist, wenn ein Song ziemlich erfolgreich und gut war, ist das zugehörige Album enttäuschend.
So hörte ich mit niederen Erwartungen rein. Es dauerte nur Sekunden, da hatte der erste Song mich schon gepackt. Begeistert hörte ich weiter und fand bis zum letzten Song kein Stück das mir nicht gefiel. Ach was heißt gefallen? Meine Begeisterung schlug Wellen. Es machte Fun und gute Laune dieses kleine Meisterwerk zu hören.
Seine Stimme ist interessant und genau mein Fall. Absolute Highlights sind für mich Carry on, some nights, why am I the one und out on the town...
Diese Band trifft meinen Geschmack bis ins Detail. Habe mir ihr erstes Album auch sofort bestellt.
Außerdem finde ich die Lyrics wunderbar und wie alle Songs zusammen ein stimmiges Gesamtkonzept ergeben und teilweise aufeinander aufbauen. Auf mich machte es zeitweisen den Eindruck, ich höre ein kurzes Musical.
5 Wochen hab ich das Album nun und könnte es immer noch rauf und runter hören.
Ich will mehr von den Jungs hören ;)
