if you know me at all, you know my favorite band is the format.
imagine my ultimate devastation when they broke up (gah! heartbreak!)
but alas, a project in the works since 2008, and having released their first album this past august, has arisen-- FUN.!
that's right people, nate ruess, lead singer of the format, is back with his new band fun.
i. am. ecstatic.
alright, admittedly i was skeptical at first. having been obsessed with the format since my freshman year in high school, it was hard to imagine anything could match it's greatness, especially in a the format knockoff in which nate seems to mimic mika for many of the albums upbeat songs.
but then i downloaded the album ( aim & ignite) and listened to it on repeat for 2 days.
i. love. it.
the lyrics are equally fantastic, applicable to my life, and just generally amazing and awe-inspiring, in a way that only nate ruess can fashion. further, the emotional progression and religious undertones throughout the course of the album make for a fantastic musical experience...that i highly encourage anyone, the format fans or not alike to investigate.
and as blasphemous as it sounds, admittedly, i think fun.'s new album is, well, simply more fun.
