Honestly I've only heard fun.'s most famous songs, but when I saw that they gave their fans a link to download their 1st album for FREE in honor of it's 5th anniversary. So obviously I took advantage of it. DUH. Who wouldn't right? 

So I was listening to this album and I noticed that it's very theatrical. Remember that local band I did an album review on, Major Powers and the Lo Fi Symphony? Yeah, this whole album is kind of like that. It's like a rock musical, especially songs like "All The Pretty Girls", "Wanna Be The One". Others sound like kid songs, just the way they were put together. Vocals, several instruments being playing, womens backing vocals repeating the same lyrics as a the main vocalist. Those ones I am talking about are, "At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)" and "Walking the Dog". The guitar in "Walking The Dog" sounds a lot like the guitar effects that Vampire Weekend does. (Just thought I should bring that to your attention) Don't get me wrong, these guys are really great with their instrument playing, it's very technical and you know this didn't take them a week to write one song. This album took some serious effort. Plus their lead vocalist, has got some pipes! I really love his voice, it's very melodic when it needs to be and playful in the chorus. 

But in all seriousness, this album wasn't for me. It's not horrible, but I just don't think its my style. Still a great band though. 

CURRENT SONGS THAT WILL NOT LEAVE MY HEAD!!

BIG DATA- DANGEROUS

Killer bassline, very catchy, has some electronic vibes. Such a great band! I heard this song on the radio and I feel inlove with it. Even though it is a remix. Sadly, I tried to listen to more songs and possibly buy the album, but all I found are remixes of that one song.

Even though I found some of their other songs, but no where to buy.  :[ Sad day.

Hopefully he will come out with some way to buy them.

Anyways, here's the music video!

It has nothing to do with the song at all. 

It's weird, actually. Haha, but here ya go!

Also, here is another song you might like, I still like 'Dangerous' better though.

Big Data- Bombs Over Brooklyn
