    All in all, it's clear that chart-driven pop circa the second decade of the millennium rarely gets much better than LMFAO on this stand-out album.

    The duo and an assortment of guests-including Will.i.am, Busta Rhymes, GoonRock and Calvin Harris-extol the virtues of late nights, trendy tequilas, hard bodies and vibey DJs.

    It's dumb for sure, but knowingly so, and its incessantly upbeat vibes do provide something of a lift.

    Taken in individual portions, they're a refreshing jolt to the system, but a whole album's worth feels like being force-fed a gallon of Sunny Delight.

    Defiantly puerile, LMFAO stake out their world of champagne and "hotties" with shout-along slogans. Harmless hedonism.

    Where a lack of rhymes fail them, the hip-rock-electronica music carries them forward into music that's passable even when it's not profound. So long as you get it, LMFAO may not change the world, but it's a fun way to kill time. Just don't drink like they do or you'll kill brain cells too.

    Sorry For Party Rocking is a dumb party record that knows it's a dumb party record.

    It's topped off by truly terrible rapping, which often turns otherwise groan-inspiring instrumentals into jumbled, maddening filler.

    If you're contemplating buying an album called Sorry for Party Rocking, then let's be honest: you know exactly what you're getting into.

    Behind the whippy synth flourishes and propulsive stompbeats that snag one's interest, the lazy charmlessness of the duo's rhyming quickly grows tiresome, a situation unalleviated by the occasional appearance of a Busta Rhymes or Calvin Harris. Fun in extremely small doses.

    This Los Angeles party-hop duo can't decide if they want to rhyme like the Beastie Boys or booty-croon like Taio Cruz. So on their second album (which includes the hit "Party Rock Anthem"), they do both, making for a disc of brain-cell-depleting jams.

    The album does have one redeeming aspect preventing its plunge into epic echelons of suck, and that's lead single Party Rock Anthem.

    Stretched out over an hour, their solitary idea wears unbearably thin: pretty quickly, your reaction is less LMFAO than WTF? and, ultimately, FFS.

    The album is simply bad - very bad, full of forgettable, low quality "party rock". Even if you want soulless party music, buy something else.The album is simply bad - very bad, full of forgettable, low quality "party rock". Even if you want soulless party music, buy something else.

Generic triplety backbeats processed more than pet food, sludge-like electronic noises, and awful, unnecessarily dirty lyrics. The title of the album is actually very fitting. Apology not accepted though. Pathetic.… Full Review »
