We really should come up with a better phrase than “landfill funk” before we start needing it…

Jonathan Bogart: Remember Chromeo?

Micha Cavaseno: They didn’t worry all that much about coming up with stuff for their song, huh? This sounds like an Elephunk demo that got purposely misplaced.

Brad Shoup: Another brisk slice of Chic Minus Chic, but this time the horns try to step you into Kool & the Gang territory. It’s still a pop-rap track though, but Madcon Minus Madcon never sounded so good a proposition.

David Sheffieck: Tries so, so hard: a collection of references and sounds so shamelessly cribbed that this might well be Stars on 45. And they would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for that sub-Pitbull rap.

Thomas Inskeep: If “Uptown Funk!” were only about 1/25 as good as it actually is.

Will Adams: I clench my teeth anticipating all the poor souls who will put this on party playlists or DJ sets and spend the rest of the night explaining to people that no, this isn’t “Get Lucky.”

Megan Harrington: At first I found “Don’t Worry,” the millionth song to play at the dance til the world ends sock hop, a little unrealistic. Here we are, the end days upon us for years now, and we’re still hearing that same old “don’t worry, we’re having fun!” line? But then I thought harder about what I’d actually been doing to survive or die during this apocalypse, and it’s amounted to little more than dancing and talking shit, so I guess this is a pretty accurate depiction of life during rapture.
