Rescore: 4/10
Updated:5/10
the newest FJM is a decadent fusion of the lounge music of the 20's and his own stylistic sound. it is not really a step up by any means but i's not a letdown. it's a sharp melodramatic display of 11 crooning gems that suffer from poor pacing and maudlin mood. otherwise i's sill a prey satisfying release in a ear already sacked with them.
