What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

FUN. "some nights" cd,2012. #3US, #3AU, #4UK, #5CAN.

second album by this NYC trio....
one of the albums of 2012 IMO...great rock sounds happening here...the group is influenced greatly by Queen and ELO, i cant really hear the ELO influences here but Queen is all over this one, the vocalist may not have the ability to stretch his vocals quite as far as Freddie's soprano/falsetto, but its bloody close in places.
if you shut your eyes and listen you can imagine Mercury singing these songs.
track three,"we are young" hit the #1 position on the singles charts in 19 countries apparently, but i can only confirm they did it in US,Canada,UK and Australia. Billboard say "this is the first true rock song to get to #1 in the last five years. the second single "some nights" also hit #1 here in Australia and reached the top ten in Can,US,UK also, with "carry on" also hitting the Canadian charts recently.
a great,great album IMO, and as i stated, one of the best from 2012 without a doubt!
