    The pop sound works for the most part for Fitz and The Tantrums. Yes, it might be disposable. It might be repetitive hooks. But this might be their funnest album yet.

    Although it doesn't have the same feel as the earlier albums the pop sound still works well for Fitz and the Tantrums. And it sounds absolutely amazing live!

    All of [the tracks are] meaty, beaty, big and bouncy. [No. 132, p.53]

    It's a self-titled affair but it lacks the calling cards that originally made them interesting.

    It’s the residue of that band making a cynical attempt to polish the gloss off their music to a dull matte to the benefit of the lowest common denominator of pop listeners.
