Metascore: 49

Generally, folks didn’t like Fitz and the Tantrums’ latest album.  There was one outlier review, courtesy of AllMusic.  Otherwise, the numbers weren’t good. Boston Globe essentially suggests the album has a temporary appeal.  Pop Matters essentially wants the real Fitz and the Tantrums to “please stand up,” giving up only four stars out of a possible ten.  It gets worse from the perspectives of Consequence of Sound (25) and The 405 (2/10).

Us as The Musical Hype didn’t criticize Fitz and the Tantrums quite as pronouncedly as the aforementioned. Still, we gave it three stars, which figures up to be a 60 on Metacritic’s scale.
