Good, but they have better!

I became a Chromeo fan when the Fancy Footwork album came out. A few of these songs are good, but this album has tough competition against the Fancy Footwork and Business Casual albums.

NOTE: This is a very elaborate review.
3 years ago, I cut myself from the music world. Then, I thought music was boring, & I was suffering from "Burnout". Now, I go to a Performing Arts School, with people who obsess over their IPods. I just revently got my 1st IPod EVER!!! & tried to find some music that wouldn't make me cringe. Ironically, this was the 1st band I "stumbled upon". Based on reviews, I have to agree.
Favorite Song: Rage!
Favorite line: "Is that the way you treat your mother f---ing friend." (Rage!)
chromeo is hot!

They're old school, yet they are not-a smooth mix of 70;s-80's electro-funk and today's synth-pop that
really gets you dancing! Dave and P are totally in sync-no surprise they grew up together. I wish they'd play at my wedding!!
Awesome

Remember the little mini-game in Mario Paint for SNES where you swat flies with the little hand? Remember the really funky music for the 2nd level? This is like a whole album of that.
Can't stop listening to Need Girl!!

Rage! is simply an amazing track...some of the songs are ok but most are very good.
if you like this you should check out their other album Fancy Footwork.
Funk REVIVAL!!!!!!!

By mynameisaflower
Chromeo's funk revival is the spot. With songs like "You're So Gangsta", they take old school dance funk music and bring it back with their own touch. Very nice album. You should purchase it, then put it on to dance. Wish more stuff like this would be played. CHROMEO!
Chromeo is an old, new sound...

It brings back the carefree sounds of the early 80's funk mixed in with some classy vocals and rockin' beats, but it has a modern edge. This style is refreshing. It's groovy but has some real bass. To me, it bridges the gap all the way from disco to alternative rock. It gets me into a funky groove. My bf says it's just manipulated old tracks, (even though he likes them too), but I don't care if it is, it's very original sounding for today and I'm addicted!
Bonified Refreshing~!

just an amazing compilation of music that digs down into your dance soul, and inspires you to move the louder the music is. It moves completely thru your soul and reminds you how free and fun music is and reminds you of what it was like to dance all night in those days of when all u did was stay out at a night club, dance, drink, and dance some more to your favorite dance songs of yesterday!
Definetly a great party album, that doesnt stop, and will impress those friends with your great taste in music and choices to keep a party going! its a must listen and have to your collection! and yes these guys are a definet product of the eightees ! god bless!
Extremely Addicting

This is some seriously funky material. Screw all you who are too insecure to enjoy cheezy synth pop. I can safely say there is not a bad song on this album.

check out Zapp and Roger first. "Woman Friend" is lifted straight out ofthe depths of The Zapp Band and Roger Troutman's musical genius. Talkboxes? Yes please!
awesome

Love "Your So Gangsta"

By rkw6086
After hearing Your So Gangsta on Space Colony (The Game), I feel in love with the song. It's not to complex but yet it isn't boring. I'm not sure my parents would understand the music, but this is great music to veg out with.
A Must Have! This album will not disappoint.

Wow. It's been some time since an entire album from one artist really grabbed me. This defiitely got me. Great mix of funk and electro with excellent vocal work. The 30 second previews only give a taste of this deliciously fun and funky creation.
Buy this, you will not be sorry.
if you don't get it, you don't deserve to get it

Chromeo are two guys that make music as if the 80's electro genre were still the hottest sound, and they were in the center of it all. Thus, She's in Control can't be relegated to a simple "tribute" album, as they effectively harness not only the sound of the genre, but more importantly come to embody the very essense of what made the music so awkwardly charming; while endowing it with an undeniable modern sensibility. Moreover, unlike so many artists in the 80's, Chromeo have got some serious talent. One needs only to listen to the unbelievable organ solo on "Woman Friend," or the guitar licks on "Way Too Much." I'm just glad that these guys were so into a genre so ripe for revival, rather than ending up like awkward heavy metal, or even worse Rush fans.

The iTunes review is spot-on

This is a good album, but by no means a great one. I imagine that most of the people who've reviewed this and given it a 5-star rating haven't really explored Electronica in it's fullest. Chromeo seems to be searching for their musical voice. At times they're very Zapp & Roger (like in You're So Gangsta), others somewhat Daft Punk (Destination - Overdrive), and even a bit of DFA is thrown in there. For someone who has a large Electronica collection, this is not a great addition. A good first album, but nothing amazing.
Dance party, What?

This is the best dance party CD you could ever buy.
