A Taste of Pure Funk!

Review Score: (10/10)
Jamiroquai was great @ Woodstock!!!!! Their new CD has more funk and is less experimental than "Travellin' w/o Moving." Although I'm not a big fan of disco, "Canned Heat" definitely has good vibes and kinda grows on you. "Black Capricorn Day" reminds me of Lenny Kravitz; it's pretty powerful. "Destitute Illusion" is good for an instrumental number and "Where Do We Go From Here" spices it up. My favorite tracks are "Planet Home" and "King for a Day." I love the bassline in "Planet Home" and it's not lacking in any of the songs, Nick Fyffe does a good job. "King for a Day" is a nice dose of Gothic meets Acid Jazz, very cool. Even though "King 4 a Day" is meant as a personal message to Zender, it has the best set of lyrics in the album and the most riveting music. It should be the title track for a movie soundtrack.

So if you're looking for something new or you just like Jamiroquai's Funk n Acid Jazz style, then go get this album. Just don't turn down this album because you're a Suburban Casualty, don't live n die in the norm...EXPERIMENT!
