Fun.

I don't like the sound of this band. They are too chirpy and positive for my taste. Just as it gets annoying to be around someone who always is looking on the bright side, Fun.'s songs are upbeat and just obnoxious. Their lyrics aren't anything special either.

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses, asking 'bout a scar

Um, what?

 I also don't like the sound of the lead singer Nate Ruess. It sounds too much like a boy punk/pop band. Especially their song "It Gets Better."



 Plus in every song, it sounds like they put a small echo on his voice, giving it a kind of choir-ish sound. And I don't like it. You can really hear the echo in the verses of the song "All Alright."


 Part of my hatred for this band definitely has to do with the fact that I hear their songs on the radio every few minutes. I can't go one day without hearing "Some Nights" or "We Are Young." Sure, for a while they were new and "hip" and I thought they were good. But now, I just can't do it.
        It's funny because, the blog I wrote about overplaying songs includes the song "We Are Young" by Fun. And that was written back in September of 2012. I actually said, "They (Fun.) also released another really good, catchy song called "Some Nights," which I predict everyone will hate within the next few weeks." That was for sure true.
