    Huge thanks to Game Grumps for introducing me to "Old 45's". I unironically enjoy that track!

    Far too gimmicky for my taste. They have basically recreated disco sounds without adding much in the way of innovation. If you're going to ape a style, pick a better style than disco. Better throwback groups (like HAIM) bring something fresh and new to familiar styles. I just don't find that here. Sexy Socialite is one of the worst songs I've heard in a while.

    Well, well, Chromeo is back.

    This album is effing amazing. as Dinology says, this is by far their most polished and overall best album to date. All songs are great. While there are no tracks that match the magic of Fancy Footwork, the album also features no duds. Amazing up beat funk that makes you unable to resist bobbing your head to the beat.

    While the production is not exactly groundbreaking, Chromeo managed to make this one of their most polished and the best album they have ever released in their career. Overall it is best to say this album is solid and fun to listen to.

    I discovered Chromeo about two months ago and have become a huge fan of their style. There's a sense of style with their music that hasn't been around in years, a mix of synth pop, rock guitar, soul, and funk that sounds like both a throwback and innovative. White Women continues that tradition with a further evolved style. There are at least five gems on this album (I'm not counting SexyI discovered Chromeo about two months ago and have become a huge fan of their style.

Play The Fool is some sort of retro fever dream mixed with modern sound. Love it.… Expand

    Go ahead, laugh at tongue-in-cheek lines like, "You're a sexy socialite/ I wish you were a socialist/ Instead of worrying about your name on the list," but do so knowing that Chromeo is serious about getting you on the dance floor.

    No fillers on White Women, good to go for the duration of the evening. [Jun/Jul 2014, p.84]

    White Women has all the depth and staying power of a Christmas cracker joke. [Jun 2014, p.106]
