    Not for me. I can't get into the singing on this one. I like some of the cool, synthy instrumentals - they really resonate with me. But I think the signing felt a little meandering, and the tone of voice is just not my cup of tea. An otherwise fine album if you take away some of the wishy-washy, going-nowhere lyrics.

    There’s moments where creeping doubt, and a little bit of self-awareness, begin to set in--mainly on Franz’s part--but those aside, this is going to challenge Ezra Furman’s Perpetual Motion People for the title of the year’s finest pop oddball.

    FFS manage to combine all the characteristics of what makes each band appealing but the record never veers too close to Franz Ferdinand territory and neither does the supergroup fully embrace the experimental side of Sparks.

    The chemistry between the two bands isn't so perfect that a second collaborative album would be preferable to whatever either of them has up its sleeve next. When FFS does click, though, it's a little delight.
