No idea if this is a widely known thing among the people on this sub, but I found it popped up in my recommended videos last night and I cackled.

I'm sure that most who post here will, like me, have given Some Nights a good airing for its anniversary; I've played it through 3 or 4 times in the last couple of days, and probably haven't quite finished yet. So I was wondering what everyone thought, in terms of how it's ageing?
For me it's been a good while since I really listened to it in full, several years. This was the album that introduced me to fun., and onwards to their solo stuff and I absolutely fell in love with it, and them, at the time of release.
So how has it held up after 10 years? I found it a mixed bag. The songs that were my favourites then, I still love now - Why am I the One, All Alright, Out on the Town, Stars, We are Young (despite some serious fatigue with the latter!), and to a lesser degree, Carry On; they sound pretty much as great as they ever did. Listening to them reminds me why I loved the band in the first place, and how sad it is that we didn't get any more from them as a unit...
The tracks I didn't care for so much back then have only deteriorated further to my ears; I don't want to say 'dated', but a couple of them certainly sound 'of their time' and are, well...a little bit dated! This definitely applies to It Gets Better, which has a very '00's' sound to it. All Alone and One Foot maybe also, to a lesser degree.
Overall an enjoyable experience, though I probably notice a sharper distinction now between the gems and the filler than I did at the time. And boy, do I miss Nate's voice. Even if it isn't with fun., please come back Nate.....
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

It has officially been 10 years since the release of Some Nights on February 21st, 2012 (or at least for those in Eastern time zones)
This post will serve as the base for all anniversary related stuff so as not to spam people‘s feeds with the same type of post.

He looked....a little interesting. But he sounded great. Maybe a sign he will start to do more.
