Product Description
Amazon.ca
After scoring the crossover hit "Virtual Insanity" in 1998 (remember the moving sidewalk video?), the U.K.'s Jamiroquai failed to keep their momentum alive with the somewhat scattered and skittish Synkronized. Thankfully for fans of the retro (if lightweight) pop/soul that is the band's specialty, Jamiroquai are back with their most cohesive effort since 1995's Return of the Space Cowboy. There's still too much blathering on about the cosmos from Stevie Wonder-inspired vocalist Jason Kay, the most egregious example being the subdued and folksy "Black Crow," which takes the bird-in-flight cliché to new lows. Better and much more rugged are the sizzling synth-driven "2001" and the guitar-stoked rave-up "Stop! Don't Panic." That's where the guys bring the funk with more bite than you'd expect. --Amy Linden

Knowing and owning all five album of Jamiroquai I've decided to review their fifth album. I will have given all of them four or five stars but I prefer make a few comments on this, especially taking in mind that after ten years Jamiroquai has been the indisputable top funk group.
The starting is really delicious: "Feel so Good" and "Little L" can be among their ten top songs ever. The groove is fantastic and the sound is astonishing, especially in the first. Another of my favourites are "Love Foolosophy" and "Stop, Don't Panic". And with "Black Crow" Jay Kay shows all his intensity in a beautiful ballad.
I think it's always difficult to set out five pike records in your career and in our times it's almost impossible, as artists come and go very quickly. I expect sixth Jamiroquai album will be as good as the other five.

I agree with alot of the reviewers that this is more Pop than previous works. It has more of a pop funk or disco feel. Don't let that stop you, the songs are catchy and many of them will get you ready to move on the dance floor. As usual the horns and bass are excellent, and Jay Kay's vocals are Stevie Wonder like. Overall this is a really fun album.

....And They Play On!!
Despite it's ironic release date (on 9/11?!) "A Funk Odyssey" is Jamiroquai's most daring and hard edged albums. Read more

Not bad... but too mainstream
Jamiroquai seems to have abandoned its funky jazz roots and settled more for a more shallow poppish sound. Read more

Circa 1979
I have been a fan of Jamiroquai since I first heard "Return of the Space Cowboy". Back in the day, Jay Kay and Co were actually a funk band; and a damn good one as well. Read more

Maybe Jamiroquai better stop
It's sad to see a band go astray. Jamiroquai have lost their magic touch. It's a one-man-band with a lead singer who's mind isn't set to making music anymore. Read more
