    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 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 »
