The new David Dyrne Fatboy Slim two disc musical set themed around Imelda Marcos is....well...it's like letting Paul make a Beatles record with no feedback about how it's going.
It's got its high points, but the sum is less than the total of its parts.
It even has a Heart guitar line in one song - point off.
Time for David and Jerry and Tina and Chris to get back together and see where they might go next.
This disc is a 5.

Mika has two discs out and my ten and twelve year olds love them and have infected their friends.
We had a party last weekend and cranked it with Mika and the kids went apeshit...and I enjoyed the Freddie Mercury meets 10CC meets Erasure meets Sweet kinda vibe!
8.5
