White Women

More polished that previous albums with great tracks including guest artists. All around a solid album, but I feel that they have settled into a bit of a groove and aren't being as outwardly creative as they have been in the past. Maybe that's my hope for the fun songs they've done in the past. Solid collection to their already great portfolio.

Chromeo really did a great job with this one. Unlike Business Casual, which chills out on the second side, this keeps up the energy the whole way through. My favorite song is Fall Back 2U, and I really wish they'd do a full song with Ezra Koenig... That would really be amazing!It's a little frustrating that it's a 2LP album (which some people like but I just find annoying), but at 53 minutes trying to fit it on one disc is pushing the length for a single LP, so I understand why that was chosen.

If you're reading this review as someone who already enjoys Chromeo's sound wondering if White Women is for you, stop reading right now and go buy the album. It has everything you've come to love about the Funklordz. Nothing but love for the ladies in every song, P on talkbox (albeit less than previous albums), big words that you have to pull out a dictionary for (I'm looking at you "attenuate" and "acrimony"), saxiphone solos, and nonstop thrilling funk that will have you moving all summer long. The throwback 80s sound is extremely popular right now, and no band has been doing it better than Chromeo. Several of the songs off White Women evoke such a feeling of nostalgia I feel like I should be sitting in front of a console television watching new episodes of Miami Vice, it's that authentic. From the 10 year old, almost primitive in comparison album "She's in Control" they just keep refining their sound; getting better and more funky with each offering. White Women is hands down their best album yet, and it will be hard to top.My top 5 songs in no particular order are:Jealous (I Ain't With It)SomethingoodCome AliveFall Back 2USexy SocialiteEverything else is also very good, with the exception of "Ezra's Interlude". It feels tacked on and lacks that Chromeo polish that the rest of the album shines with. It would have been much better had they dropped it off. If I had to pick a different least favorite song it might be Frequent Flyer, it's a little cheesy for my taste, but it's in a distant second to last place from Ezra.Overall a solid album for existing fans and people new to electrofunk as well.

Here's one that starts out rocken and remains so for a really long time, almost every track.That title, "white Woman" might cause some discussions, but if you're not the philosophical type, you'll probably forget it anyway, and just tell your friends, "yair! you really need to get that new one by Chromeo!This one doesn't have a parental advisory, however, you might want to decrease the volume in the office on tracks like Over Your Shoulder.And even though you've got small breastsBut to me they look the bestI confessI wanna go home and get you undressed.Might not help with your job performance reports, than again.I like it! Can you tell already?

A very cool and very homogeneous album where the same lame disco from the 80s that we all loved to hate sounds funny and cool because of the geeky vibe radiating from the band.And the funny lyrics:I know you've heard this a hundred times, to me what matters is what's insideAnd a little backside tooIs that bad, is that taboo? Can I get a bird's eye view??This is the first Chromeo album I bought, I'm gonna get me another one soon.

These are the coolest white guys since Daft Punk and I daresay their music is *even better.*This album is pure pleasure. After listening to it once, I was hardly able to turn it off. I literally would not go to bed because I had to listen to it more and more times. This has been going on for several days.I took Miss H's advice and "just bought it," and I recommend you do too. Forget about Youtube or radio; Chromeo's music is meant to be listened to in high fidelity, through real speakers. And yes, you want all the songs--even Ezra Koenig's. (That song is only bad by comparison to the rest of the album.) But you *definitely* want Jealous, Come Alive, Over Your Shoulder, Sexy Socialite, and Lost on the Way Home.So, what is this music? Well, it's impeccably fun, lush, catchy electrofunk with sparkling composition, heart-thumping beats and deliciously exorbitant lyrics. The pair's charming and flamboyant personality comes out strongly through the record. Their performance is subtly intelligent, consistently artful, and wildly infectious.Obviously its existential purpose is to be played in a club. But if you own this album, you can use it to make pretty much any moment of your life a *lot* more fun.My theory on the concept and title of "White Women" is that Chromeo wrote up a list of female archetypes (not specifically white: the socialite, the jetsetter, the needy girl, the hopeless romantic, etc.) and wrote a song about each one. Then they decided "Women" was a bit too ponderous a title, so they went with "White Women." But rest assured that this album will be enjoyed by any man or woman, white or black (...and everyone else too).After you buy this album, please find a way to see Chromeo live! Trust me on this.

Album of the year, at least mine. The last time I was this impressed with an album was Daft Punks Random Access Memories and this one is even more enjoyable to listen through. I've been a fan of Chromeo for a number of years, their tongue in cheek lyrics and cheesy yet absurdly catchy rhythms are something to behold. This album is by far their most polished effort to date. An album that simply can't be missed.
