Functions as a well-deserved victory lap for both Ferry and those he’s assembled, triumphantly returning to relevance and reminding listeners he’s been doing this since the ‘70s

A slick album that sounds as though The Jazz Age never happened, hell, it sounds as though music since 1982 never happened
