    This album all but abandoned what made Fitz and the Tantrums great to begin with. The full band R&B sound is lost and replaced with heavy auto-tuned vocals, poppy synths, and generic drum beats. Disappointed to say the least. It's catchy and it's fun, but it's not unique and it's not F&TT.

    All of [the tracks are] meaty, beaty, big and bouncy. [No. 132, p.53]

    It's a self-titled affair but it lacks the calling cards that originally made them interesting.

    It’s the residue of that band making a cynical attempt to polish the gloss off their music to a dull matte to the benefit of the lowest common denominator of pop listeners.
