Disapointment!

Review Score: (4/10)
Major disapointment! Jamiroquai has unfortunately crossed over from jazzy/funk to cheesey disco. The string section sounded good on Traveling Without Moving but Synkronized is chock full of cheesey disco strings and uninspired bass lines. The new bass player does not even compare. The one thing they did right this time was cut the album time down instead of overindulging like they did on their previous albums. If you like the single Canned Heat then you will probably like the rest of this album. Personally, I think Canned Heat is an overproduced piece of disco-cheese. Forget this album and buy Travelling Without Moving for the funkier stuff. If you like it less dancy and more jazzy go back to their first two albums. Otherwise, go get yourself some Funkadelic.
