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.
"Smile" was a nice surprise.Very smooth song that harks back to their early days.
Give another listen to RDLS.It's really a superb album.Stays true to the Jamiroquai formula...a very focused,consistent album.

. Interesting. I thought Rock Dust Light Star was very fresh sounding and adventurous compared to their previous 3 releases.

You and SA may be right. But when I listened to RDLS it didn't instantly draw me in, like J's first 4 albums did. So I set it aside and never picked it back up.
