Live Together, Die Alone

"But the only thing people will notice initially is the use of the vocoder/autotune. Sure, it’s jarring at first to hear someone with a voice like Ruess to use the tool, but once you dive into these tracks and listen to it within the context of each song, you’ll soon appreciate it. The use of it isn’t cheap and isn’t being used to push across a few more record sales. Rather fun. is using it artistically to add an unique wrinkle to their well-known sound and to continue to push their boundaries as musicians (if you haven’t noticed by now, the trio doesn’t seem too keen on being pigeonholed into one specific genre).

Whether or not you like Some Nights, there is no doubt that fun. is about to leave their mark upon the mainstream. It’s the bold, adventurous and grandiose album that the Top 40 charts needs right now. With the radio vomiting out songs that sound like remixes of remixes, it’ll be refreshing to hear Nate Ruess’ voice pour out of those speakers. Don’t be surprised if we see Ruess, Dost and Antonoff on the Staples Center stage accepting the “Best New Artist” Grammy award a year from now. And if that happens to be the case, I’m calling dibs on whothefuckisfun.tumblr.com right now."
