Oct 13, 2012Oddly, fun. got famous with a huge step back from their predecessor. The first two songs and 'One Foot' are pretty good, but the rest is poor. Nate Ruess's voice achieves an extra-point but this CD is really nothing special. 'It Gets Better' for example, works totally contrariwise: the song is by far the worst on the album.

Jul 21, 2015Like many other indie rock bands, Fun.'s album "Some Nights" makes the mistake of having one or two songs that are catchy and well crafted, while the rest of the album consists of unimpressive filler

Oct 25, 2012I'm not sure if this album just is not my kind of thing but I didn't really enjoy it. The mainstream hits that everyone knows (Some Nights & We Are Young) were the only ones I genuinely enjoyed and would listen too again.

Mar 10, 2013A great work, but it doesn't evolute, like all the songs treat about the same thing, I get tired listening to it, there's no objective in the songs. Pretty bad.

Mar 24, 2013fun. makes their debut as a band resembling 1980's classic rock groups like Super Tramp, REO Speedwagon and Triumph. The large amount of backing vocals are sometimes overused in this album, where only a few tracks stand out.

Q MagazineOct 12, 2012Some Nights is ultimately a confused, turgid tangle of ideas. [Jul 2012, p.100]

Jun 29, 2012Against all odds, 'Some Nights' is a hoot: huge-sounding, packed with tunes and not lacking in humour.

Kerrang!Jun 19, 2012For every ELO-meets-Panic!-At-The-Disco pop gem that makes you think Fun. are great, there's also an Auto-Tuned-to-buggery vocal or irksome trumpet riff that simply grates. [26 May 2012, p.53]
