I have to say, I'm not a fan of Fun generally and so was not particularly optimistic before listening to this album.
My initial judgement was in fact correct, I first have to ask how Fun are even considered an alternative band. Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and Muse, examples of great alternative bands and to class these bands in the same genre as Fun... I was quite quizzical to say the least.
Anyway, having listened to this album three days in a row, I quickly came to the conclusion that Fun was not an alternative band or a good one anyway and yes, this album was rather poor and lacked in 'oomph'. Of course it's getting rave reviews, from the bloody mainstream loving Directioners who like 'We Are Young', which lets be honest isn't exactly a masterpiece.
In conclusion, spend your £3.99 on the best of the Stone Roses or better still, rather than being conned by the absoloutely ridiculous prices from iTunes go out and buy yourself a measly McChicken Sandwich meal from McDonalds, you know you want to. And while you're at it, take advantage of the free wi-fi there and just download the albums you want for free, because jeez, who actually buys music anymore...
