中心人物・藤戸じゅにあの療養による活動休止期間の間に元school food punishmentの蓮尾理之（キーボード）と作／編曲家の西川響（ベース）が加入、藤戸は坂本美雨らへの楽曲提供と、格段のパワーアップを遂げて5年ぶりの新作が到着。同期の如き正確無比なリズム／フレージングが渾然一体となってドライヴするマス・ロック調から4つ打ち基調の電子ロックまでの全18曲。インタールードを挿んだ物語性のある構成も◎。

THE JETZEJOHNSON "TECHNICAL BREAKS DOWNER"
THE JETZEJOHNSON has released a new album, first in 5 years, after a hiatus for recuperation of the band's main man, Junior Fujito, during which Masayuki Hasuo (keyboard) of defunct Japanese band school food punishment, and songwriter/arranger Hibiki Nishikawa (bass) joined the band, and which also Fujito wrote songs for other artists including Miu Sakamoto (Japanese pop singer), making the band more powerful. The album includes a total of 18 tracks ranging from math rock-tinged music with superlatively accurate rhythm/phrasing driving in perfect harmony as if they were synched, to electric rock based on four-on-the-floor beat. The narrative style album design with interludes between tracks is also done well.
