Fitz and the Tantrums, an easily accessible, semi-pop band, tried to break the mold they set for themselves as a “retro band.” They break this mold with their second album, “More Than Just a Dream.” The album has this fun, lightheartedness about it, which makes me think that the band just wanted to have fun recording it. Combining sounds from different decades such as the 60s, 80s, and the 2000s and mash it into one song surprisingly works well. I had a one problem with this album; the synths just overpower everything else. I feel like the band is alienating their old sound too much. Despite this, the album really shows how the band can branch out their style.
