Nice to hear that said, I think there is a very strong Roger Moore vibe in the album, think The Spy Who Loved Me, which is high praise from me

thanks to all the comments that's gonna be a favorite for me, that's sure  |
It's funny, that goes back to a conversation we were having here in 2010; http://www.jamirotalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=145192 |

I dig Hot Property, but just can't get over the weird (misplaced) Russian female vocals though. |

It's got to be Maria hasn't it? And what's that bassline that comes in around 2:25??? I just know I've heard it somewhere before.

Question for those in the know? When I was looking around for info on the new album I came across this site that had information on Automaton before it was released (accurate release date, track titles, etc). Something that just caught my eye was the title of one track: Gettin Down, that was written by Sola, Rob, Derrick and Jay. Was this replaced by Hot Property (absent in this list)? I am curious to know if anyone has any info on this track.
Here is the original page that the info came from

Listening the album for the second time!
Wow Summer Girl reminded me a lot of songs like "I'll Never Forget" by Dexter Wansel and "Fantasy" by Johnny "Hammond" Smith.
"Nights out in the Jungle" sounds a lot like "Shifting Gears" also by Hammond Smith!!
This made me realize, maybe JK is finally playing the music he always wanted to play!! |
Totally agree 👍 |

Can't really complain.....
I don't understand the people who overly criticize the band or Jay for that matter at this point to the degree that they do. This band has given us over 25 years of kick ass, genre jumping, life affirming music. I for one am very grateful and if they packed it all up today and went on with their lives they left quite the catalog behind.
That being said Automaton is a mixed bag for me.
I'm at the point as a fan that if I can listen to a project this far along in a bands run and get one or two songs out of it that really blow me away then I'm satisfied. They'll never match the early output from a cohesion standpoint, or even an inspiration one. It happens to damn near every act. The band is 25+ years into this and Jay is almost in his 50's. Think about the acts you know that aged gracefully enough to make a project even half as good as this one.
Now as far as a review goes.....
Vitamin absolutely blew me away. GREAT track man. It's that kind of deliberate, pounding groove that I like. The lyrics are tight and non cheesy. There's bite to it but it's super infectious. Some songs just get into you immediately and take over and this one did right away. I felt the same way about She's a Fast Persuader on the last album. No bullshit tracks that go get the groove and ride it with precision and purpose.
I remember when Runaway and Radio were released for the Greatest Hits album and I was excited about the direction that the band would be going in from the impression of those tracks. (Both are still incredible songs and really kind of underrated). They didn't quite follow the path of those two tracks on the last two albums but here and there you can see it and I think they're at their best the last 10 years or so when they do these types of songs.
Dr. Buzz impressed me structurally and thematically. I could see the storyline in the song and feel it in the music at the same time and that's the mark of a really well put together song. The message behind it is needed right now too. Bravo on this one.
I enjoyed Nights out in the Jungle, We Can Do It, Summer Girl, and Something About You as well. Shake It On didn't really grab me. Neither did the remaining tracks but I'll stick with them.
All in all a VERY worthy addition to an already awesome catalog. Vitamin goes right up there for me with my absolute favorite Jamiroquai songs and that's saying alot. |
