    The album is great cover to cover. Although White Women had more memorable tracks like "Come Alive" and "Old 45s", Head Over Heels never has a dull moment and consistently brings the funk.

    The first listen led my ears to believe that Chromeo had sold out for a safer, radio-friendly sound. Fortunately, after half a dozen plays, i'm hooked! The first two tracks, Must've Been and Don't Sleep, are duds, but once One Track Mind kicks in, the album really starts to shine. This isn't necessarily the duo's strongest songwriting, but the production and funk are on POINT!

This isn't necessarily the duo's strongest songwriting, but the production and funk are on POINT! The last five tracks, especially the Bedroom Calling suite and Slumming It, are pure electro-funk perfection. Being a funk-lover and fellow Canadian, this duo seems to never let me down! I also strongly suggest you catch one of their live shows. "Funk forever, mother*******!" Expand

    At their best, Chromeo are a big, dumb party, the embodiment of guilty pleasure much like the cheesiest moments of the '80s hits they emulate. But a few choice songs, special guests, and Chromeo's studied arsenal of '80s signifiers can't keep Head Over Heels from growing tiresome, absent the hooks required to keep the party going.

    Music this nakedly derivative requires sharp pop instincts to be successful, and tracks like these prove that Chromeo are still able to create magic within their well-worn source material, even if they are retreading old ground.

    Head Over Heels might replace the duo’s trademark mannequin legs on the cover for their own, but these days such co-opting of realness is real meh. It’s genderfluid like a tech bro in a stunt romper drinking a Monster. The farce is strong with these ones.
