Some Nights by Fun

I am quite impressed with this band. After their monster hit last summer We Are Young there was every likelihood that hey would go the way of a million one hit wonders before them. This has not been the case. After We Are Young finally, after too long actually, moved off the radio the title cut soon replaced it and if anything might be an even greater production.

I wrote last summer of the first single and compared the band to Queen and having listened to the full album it is clear that the similarity is real.

A voice prone to full bore opera large production values Some Nights is a great album. This is a band that will need singles, the songs need to be heard a few times for the average person to appreciate them. It is not one hook, one needs to hear them a bit, it takes a little listening.

Currently the third single Carry On is everywhere you turn and for me might be the strongest accomplishment of the album. Combining everything that made the first two albums a success this single is a great example of all their talents. A positive message appears in their songs. One could do much worse than to give their down in the dumps teenager, struggling with the vagaries of friendship and being sixteen, an album of perseverance and positiveness with even a song called It Gets Better.

Great talent, great message, high hopes for their future success. They deserve it all.
