VIMTV Episode #244: Chromeo – Business Casual

Jake: Recommended, 70/100

Tom: Recommended, 68/100

Overview: Business Casual is a terrific album in terms of its fun, sexy dance-pop style. The production is perfect and every song is well written. The big problem with this album is that the songs are all kind of the same, in style, lyrical, content, and mood. For this reason, the tracks kind of dilute and weaken each other and it doesn’t beg the listener to search for anything deeper than the enjoyment you get on the surface.
