I think their last album,Rock Dust Light Star,is excellent.

Jamiroquai, my favorite band of the 1990's, has been plagued by diminishing returns for years. But I will hope for the best . . . again.

What did you think of Rock Dust Light Star? I think that was a solid album.

plastic funk? In an era where everyone is doing hip-hop and/or electro beats,Jamiroquai is one of the few bands who are keeping 'real funk' alive.

Great news! I don't love all of their songs, but I do love the warmth of their sound.

What I love about Jamiroquai is...they mostly ignore current trends and there are no hip-hop elements in their music at all.They stay true to their funk-based sound (incredible basslines,horns,lots of Roy Ayers-like synths).

Sound reasoning! smile

It'll be like most Prince releases during the same time: a few spins, a go-to track or 2, then collecting dust.

WOW. I feel you, but I wouldnt go that far. They're a little too disco from time to time, but their second album 'Return of the Space Cowboy' was the SHIT!!!! nod

Very true. And Jay Kay hasn't lost a thing, vocally, which is a feat if he's still smoking.

Yep, that one is tight. They have their moments, yet for the most part they make plastic music. Plus they're some corny ass muthafuckas, especially this Jay Kay dude... i hate his stupid dancing in all their videos. The don't give 'good vibes'. They're just not fun neutral

Sort of like the U2 of funk. You can't deny they've got talent and all, and I can dig some songs... but overall they sound like they're faking it

'Return Of The Space Cowboy' was the SHIT!!!........Yes! I agree with that. That used to be my "getting ready to hit the clubs" CD....I've always liked their music. Tight grooves and musicmanship.

dig them......

but also feel like in "teen wolf' no wolf no part.

No Stuart Zender..... no true excitement.

Zender is like Vito bratta... so much talent but basically disappear with a few small projects here and there.

brilliant player

Music is the best...

The Return of the Space Cowboy is the bizness. Leaps and bounds better than anything they've done otherwise and one of my favourite albums. Even if some (thinking A Funk Odyssey and Dynamite sound a little plastic) they've never made a bad album... And Travelling Without Moving and Rockdustlightstar are pretty great. This is good news cool

.
A Funk Odyssey is also my favorite of theirs, but followed closely by Rock Dust Light Star. The did a great job making up for all the shortcomings of Dynamite, which is a pretty sterile album. I know why most folks preach the virtues of the early J albums like Space Cowboy and I enjoy them, but they're a little too hippie druggie funk to be my favorites. Not wild about the Rastafarian vibe.
.
REALLY glad their next one is due soon. The wait between Jamiroquai albums is excruciating if you're a spoiled Prince fan.

I felt like Dynamite has some great songs but the album is a bit uneven.Still,it contains the wonderful "Seven Days In Sunny June",which I consider to be one of their finest songs.I was really amazed at how strong the RockDustLightStar album is.It's less disco-y than the previous albums,the songwriting is top-notch and there's even a 'rock' feel on a few tracks.A very solid,cohesive album! The song "Two Completely Different Things" is classic Jamiroquai,imo.I'm very impressed and excited with the direction they're going in.

Reasonable minds can disagree. IMHO, they trailed off after Funk Odyssey, and Synkronized was really their last above-average effort. I thought RDLS retread old ground. But I didn't give it much of a chance. "Seven Days" and "Smile:" are the last 2 songs of theirs I truly enjoyed.
