Of Montreal’s UR Fun is a proper giddy listen.

UR FUN lives up to its title, through 80s-inspired production and melodies, but also through a band-like warmth.

Taken together, infectious rhythms, smart lyrics, and effervescent chorus hooks that deliver throughout Ur Fun make it more than a mere amusement.

UR FUN is an amazing addition to the Of Montreal catalogue. It may not be my favorite Of Montreal albums, but it is certainly one of the best.

With tunes for dancing, thrashing and falling apart, of Montreal’s latest effort is a fitting start to 2020. The pre-drinks may have been a trip, but UR FUN is one party that you don’t want to miss.

While Of Montreal's brand of pop music has often been brainy and verbose, these songs offer simpler pleasures. UR FUN is, well, fun.

What this album shows is that Barnes and his band are still capable of providing a soundtrack to the best party you’ll never be invited to.

The album is a straightforward set of glistening pop songs that don't aspire to be much more than that.

A collection of songs that are musically concise and lyrically complex, with varying degrees of success on both fronts.

UR FUN keeps the party going, even if it often sounds more like a patchwork of soft-boiled singles than an album with a cohesive narrative arc.

Great
"UR FUN" is a danceable and catchy pop album that brilliantly catches an artist in a time of pure bliss and love. These melodies are super sweet and blend amazingly with the overall happy feelings presented on this record. The album is referring to itself in 3rd person lmao.

FAV TRACKS: all of them!

of Montreal's latest release, UR FUN, is well... A FUN listen. It is catchy and so dance-able and the vocal as usual for of Montreal are outstanding. However, it didn't really impress me as much as I would like but it set out what it want to accomplish.

Barnes goes out on his own under the of Montreal moniker to craft an album full of synthy, hooky and bubbly songs that are dance-heavy and catchy to boot. UR FUN certainly exemplifies the sound of having a good time and the whole experience is inevitably a catchy one.
Barnes flexes his talents by stepping out alone; his voice has always been perhaps the greatest asset of of Montreal but clearly he brings more to the table than his voice alone.

It is actually a more fun record than they've had in a while, but feels like it just continues a long streak of solid, but inessential, albums for them. This is very much an homage to 80s pop and if you liked the lead singles, then you'll probably be okay with this. I found the lyrical themes to be expressed in mostly smart and interesting ways, but that's nothing new for Kevin Barnes. The second half unfortunately does lose quite a bit of steam and features a couple of Kevin's worst vocal ... read more
In recent years, it had pained me to admit that one of my favourite bands, of Montreal and their charismatic frontman, Kevin Barnes, had faded into irrelevance with a slew of pointless, meandering albums with overblown song titles and jarring, cacophonous wankery. However, with their latest effort, the somewhat-simplified "UR FUN," of Montreal show that they still have what it takes.
