Our Review

This New York–based baroque pop trio goes for a strange mix on its debut, creating a sound that’s influenced by ELO’s penchant for grand orchestrations and ELP’s progressive leanings in song structure. The band made the smart choices to employ the production skills of Redd Kross' Steve McDonald and use the arranging and keyboard talents of Jellyfish's Roger Joseph Manning Jr. “Be Calm” starts with the animated pomposity of Queen (check out Nate Ruess’ dynamic vocal range) and the complex song-charting of early Yes recordings. “Benson Hedges” follows, with soaring gospel harmonies that hover over a patchwork of vintage keyboards before the tune unfolds to reveal a guitar-pop epic as catchy as it is complex. But as involved and intricate as these songs are, Ruess and company neither succumb to proggy pretensions nor fall into the trap of making music for musicians. “The Gambler” balances British Invasion–era balladry with an earnest idealism of aging.

Fun. is well... F U N :) (4 stars)
Fun. is awesome. And really, they should be better known. But I guess I'm liking them better low profile. Aaaaanyway, great album. Especially Be Calm and All the Pretty Girls. I'm glad that these guys aren't the trash that we are hearing on the radio now. Everything is about sex, drugs, or getting wasted. People just gotta BE CALM :) lovelovelove, Lovely.

Can I Give It a 6 out of 5? (5 stars)
The number one thing I like most about this band is their ability to write extremely fun and catchy tunes that have incredible lyrical depth. At first listen, you like the song because of the fantastic energy, beat, rhythm, and interesting arrangement of instruments. But upon the 2nd or 3rd listen, you realize that the lyrics are incredibly fantastic and show a lot of poetry and depth mixed inside of the instrumental genius. Then upon the 4t

Influence (4 stars)
In the song "All the Pretty Girls," I can definately hear a Queen influence. It's a good album.

Following the Format's breakup in 2008, frontman Nate Ruess took his songwriting skills to Steel Train's Jack Antonoff and Anathallo's Andrew Dost, both of whom shared a similar affinity for vintage pop music and quirky, melodic hooks. The trio began a series of collaborations in Antonoff's parents' living room and soon enlisted the help of producer Steven McDonald, who recorded their work and handled bass duties. After enlisting the help of former Jellyfish keyboardist Robert Joseph Manning, Jr.,...
