It's good just nothing groundbreaking. Please prove me wrong, but I sense that people who like this band are like my friend who suggested them: 20-something year-old music majors who inexplicably haven't figured out that SP's sound has been around since the '70s.

Playful big band jazz fusion/funk that indeed sounds mad good (that keyboard solo on "Lingus") and fun, yet its musical prowess is in the end nothing to write home about given its derivativeness from 70s jazz fusion. Very cool shit, but that's it.

I really don't care if I come across as a naif when expounding on a fusion band when I'm as effusive as I'm about to be. There's no questioning that Snarky Puppy are perhaps so well renowned due to their relative accessibility, but that shouldn't change that they output a brilliant record. We Like It Here is a tremendous display of virtuosity in song-writing, composition, instrumentation, and performance. Each instrument shines multiple times from track to track while compiling a sonically masterful whole.

From my viewpoint, many teenagers and adults alike have craved boredom as of late. They waste their lives away either performing extremely mundane tasks since they've got nothing better to do at the time or just so happen to be masturbating, unbeknownst to the probability of entering slumber because of relaxation. I'm admittedly guilty of this myself, though I digress. Anyway, jazz fusion collective Snarky Puppy's 2014 LP is guaranteed to deteriorate whatever ennui one might be possessing. We Like It Here is 54 minutes of intelligently-written music that, while it is by no means groundbreaking, doesn't have to be all that innovative to be considered awesome. Main composer and bassist Michael League's great songcraft makes the record worth checking, although the other contributors are no slouches in this department, too. The instrumentation utilized is fanciful, the track arrangements can occasionally render listeners ultimately speechless, and We Like It Here's production values are almost as organic as the musicianship itself.

It'a one of the most amazing jazz based albums... For me it's the 2010's defenitive fusion record, the melodies, the grooves and expecially that awesome solo in Lingus, make this the nš1 fusion record of the 10's... Listen to Lingus, what about me, jambone & shofukan

Snarky Puppy at their most technical and, overall, funniest.

Redefining "packing a punch", 'We Like it Here' amazes at every turn. Deliciously tense songwriting leaves the listener no moment to doze off and with it, Snarky Puppy delivers an invigorating listen that warrants a place among the greats in modern fusion.
