What we said:
These canny New Yorkers were onto something when they picked their name. Think about it: even if you don’t like
fun., it’s nigh-on impossible to state that fact in public without appearing a total killjoy. Judging by the commercial success of recent single ‘
We Are Young’, it’s not a dilemma that many of the public appear to face, and we reckon that slice of prom-ready pop is just the tip of the iceberg. Mixing
Queen-esque pomp-rock with
Blink 182-ish punk-pop, and boasting the slick production of
Kanye-collaborator Jeff Bhasker, fun.’s second long player,
Some Nights, is earworm-central.
