A preview of my forthcoming annual, year-end, favourite albums post. Below is an album that is definitely under consideration - time will tell where it ends up on, or off, the final list.
Fun. - Some Nights
Sure this may be one of the biggest albums of the year. You may have heard the title track in the dentist office and the Janelle Monae tune from 4 of 5 passing cars but this does not take away from it. It is popular for the reason that it is a really listenable, relatable album that matches hooks with musical ability. Not only that but it is a whole album - from the intro through to the final song. Hell, even the bonus track isn't a throwaway by any means. Interesting to see if the tremendous success has any affect on their future releases. Since there needs to be a top 40 can we, the consumer, be sure to fill it with music of this calibre?
Feel free to check out last year's list or my Top Albums lists dating back to 2002 on my previous Vernacular blog.
