Jamiroquai

Funk Odyssey

Not the best

Review Score:

(6/10)
OK, I bought this album as soon as it came out, jiving a long to 'Little L', was the best part about it, but thats really the only really good part about it. This album lacks the edge that their first albums had, the density seen in Return of The Space Cowboy is not seen in A Funk Oddysey. There are some good tracks through the album, but it lacks the intensity that is seen in Jays other work. A funk Oddysey shows so much commercialisation in it, made more for the 'teenie boppers' of society, and not the true disco fans that Jamiroquai have recently catered for. I think that is a real shame, because the first albums showed so much promise, so much flare, but A Funk Oddysey hasn't really continued in the true Jamiroquai tradition.
If you liked the first albums, then you shouldn't really bother with A Funk Oddysey, you may feel the disapointment that i have about it.
