Dynamite (Parental Advisory) [DualDisc] [PA] - Jamiroquai

Advantages: Great tracks, Mature music, Mello
Disadvantages: Needs something more

...INTRO Jamiroquai has always been a very successful band in the UK and the rest of Europe, where they ride high in the musical charts. Their latest album "Dynamite" is preceeded by many amazing previous albums, such as "A funk odyssey" and "Travelling without moving". If you liked these albums, you will love what Dynamite has to offer, its great! I have always been a fan of jamiroquai anyway but i would recommend them to anyone who wants some real music that wasnt manufactured. SONGS There are 12 tracks on the album, including the hit "Feels just like it should", which was released a few months ago. All of the tracks carry the unique Jamiroquai vibe, which is an ecclectic mix of Electronica/Dance/Jazz/Rock, whilst still remaining different so each track has its own unique personality. I would like to say that there is something... Read review

Advantages: funky, upbeat, diverse
Disadvantages: not one of those albums you can play at quieter volume control!

...Having to follow his last album - "A funk odyssey" - was going to be a tough one, but Jay Kay has succeeded in giving us an equally funky collections of tracks. The best songs on the album have to be the recently released Feels Just Like It Should, Dynamite, Seven Days In Sunny June and Starchild. Most lyrics point towards someone who is single and looking for love as if that is what is going on in the artist's mind, and there is a great mixture of solid funk, R&B with a peppering of guitar-strumming rock. The album contains a couple slower tunes which take a while to grow on you. I found this album grows on you when you have played it a couple of times with the volume turned right up - it REALLY gets you then! I would fully recommend buying this album, and at £8.99 or lower, it certainly doesn't disappoint.... Read review

Advantages: Feelgood Music
Disadvantages: Weak finish to the album

...As a huge fan of Jamiroquai i had been left feeling a little bit let down by the bands last couple of albums. I own the previous five albums the band has done and have seen them live in concert three times. This was the first time i didn't rush out straight away for a new album from jamiroquia as i felt they had gone a little stale. The band are led by singer Jay Kay and the music that they record doesn't really fall into any particular category but is more a mixture of dance/pop/funk. The style on this album is not totally different to the bands other releases but does sound like they have matured a lot and the music is really easy to listen to while either on the move or just relaxing. The first single to be realesed of the album "Dynamite" was "Feels just like it should" which was obviously written as the big comeback track... Read review
