Jamiroquai

Emergency On Planet Earth

Bland and Dated

Review Score:

(2/10)
Jamiroquai`s debut was a critically aclaimed record when it came out in the early nineties, yet I fail to understand why. This is hardly innovative and original stuff, just a rehash of some sounds from the seventies with a couple of more contemporany and recent production details. "Emergency on Planet Earth" mixes funk, lounge, soul, pop and even a bit of jazz, trying to sound fresh, hip and subtle yet it ends up being unmemorable, slow and tiresome for the most part. The first songs are somewhat promising, but as the record unfolds it only gets boring and drags for way too long, becoming useless elevator music. Ok, so the environmental message "love mother nature" is mildly interesting, still that doesn`t make this effort any better.

Overall weak.
