Some Nights
Never has such unadulterated glee, desire, and youthful exuberance been so perfectly filtered as it has on anthems like \"We Are Young,\" \"All Alone,\" or \"Some Nights\"; rarely has a pop vocalist come through such lavish instrumentation and prodigious production with the results Nate Ruess delivers. His voice reaches and stretches, always with enough plaintive sincerity and sparkling energy that it avoids saccharine pop purgatory with room to spare. Producer Jeff Bhasker (who produced Kanye West\'s *My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy*) knows the meaning of the word \"big,\" and precious few are the studio wizards who know exactly when to rein it in. *Some Nights* is an undeniably massive record, in all the good ways.
There is not a lot of fun to be had on this lyrically vapid, auto-tuned offering, writes <strong>Hermione Hoby</strong>
Huge choruses and boundless enthusiasm make Fun's latest hard to dislike, writes <strong>Dave Simpson</strong>
