Right, so just because I have a different opinion than you I am ignorant. Nice one.
HoT-TeQuila-Brown: at least I form an opinion rather than following the flock and simply parroting what other people have already said.
As for ignorance, your "poof" comments show what a juvenille person you really are.
What disappoints me is that I didn't post on this forum to start fights — I am a hard-core Jamiroquai fan JUST LIKE YOU that was left very unhappy after hearing Dynamite. So don't slam me for expressing my opinion. We're not all going to love it, just like we're not all going to hate it either.
There are clearly other people on this forum who agree with me that this album is fairly average but are probably afraid to express their true feelings for fear of being harassed.
I never said I was right or wrong, I just expressed MY opinion and disappointment. You people seem to take the high road however and dismiss any views that aren't your own. That's ignorance in my opinion.
Out.

This is a great album.
In other music forum I rode that one of the best things fo Jamiroquai´s albums is that the sound Is perfectly clean.
There are a couple of songs I really deslike (feels just like it should, and electric mistress or however it´s written) but the rest are ok with me. One thing I´ve noticed is that there Jay dosn´t sing "high" notes in any of the tracks, but I understand he´s not 23 years old anymore and I still respect him.
By the way, I´ve just done a final exam and I was all the 2:30 hours it lasted with Feels just like it should in my head. stupid catchy song...  |

Something new
This record could have been nothing but a disappointment for those expecting "the old Jamiroquai sound". So far, so obvious. It's almost beyond imagination that Jamiroquai would release an album relying so much on musicianship as TROTSC today. It's a different band, with different commitments. Now – and it's been like that since roughly Synkronized – they want to fill the dancefloors. And no matter how good TROTSC is, one just can't expect the average dancer – who does not possess the rhythmic notions of professional dancers such as our lead singer – to really "get down and boogie" to tracks like Stillness in Time, Light Years, Just Another Story, Space Cowboy, Journey to Arnhemland and so on. So, for anyone who doesn't like music that is designed for dancing, there's been room for disappointment even since Travelling.
The same goes for the electronic-ness of the new sound. We've had Supersonic, then Twenty Zero One, now Electric Mistress. One true electronic music track per record, that's not too much for me – as much as I hate Supersonic and 2001. There's the problem of using too much digital synthesizers, alright. This, indeed, had never been such a big problem as it is on this album. Still, they still use classic analog synths – which really came as a surprise for me, at this point.
So far, I'm talking about style. To be honest, I really like funk, disco, samba, bossa nova, Basement Jaxx-esque house, jazz and almost every style Jamiroquai has covered – exceptions are "ethnic" electonic music (Supersonic) and those naive "rock" songs (Deeper Underground, Stop Don't Panic and Loveblind).
So, I'm with the new fans generation in that evolution in style is welcome. Not necessarily desired, I must point out, but nothing to be fearfully avoided.
The problem with the new album is the songwriting – something that is very poorly discussed here. (In fact, discussions here tend to be more fan love talk than anything else; which is sad, since Jamiroquai made such great music, some of it better than the best jazz of the 90's). Matters of taste aside, the songwriting did not evolve at all and, as a matter of fact, it seriously decreased in sofistication, originality, complexity and peculiarity. Before, you could very well identify a new Jamiroquai song by its structure, disregarding style. We simply can't say that of Little L, 2001, You Give me Something, Stop Don't Panic, Seven Days in Sunny June, Electric Mistress, Feels Just Like it Should or Talulah. In short, as far as songwriting is concerned, Jamiroquai have not only been making music which doesn't highlight their unique style, they've also music that is similar to (and could be written by) any far less talented act.
The title of the post, however points to the fact that Jamiroquai did get better this time in songwritting, comparatively to their last effort. Give Hate a Chance, Starchild, Dynamite and Time Won't Wait are decisively more original than 80% of the tracks on A Funk Odyssey. (Another good thing is that there is no one grotesque track in this record, such as Supersonic and 2001, songwriting or style wise).
Now, on to the track by track review:
Feels Just Like it Should: simply a bad song. It has no peculiarity in harmony or melody. Its alleged roughness sounds naive, even more with JK's delicate and too high-pitched voice. "Girlier Lenny Kravitz" is one of the best descriptions of this song I've ever read, for the songwriting is as bad as Lenny's. (A note that must be taken into consideration for everything written here: simple, unoriginal songs in harmony, melody, rhythm and style can surely be good, but it's not what I've learned to expect from Jamiroquai. For instance: I'm happy with Emma Bunton's "Maybe" single. But it's Emma Bunton, for heaven's sake).
Dynamite: the most polished song on the record. Too much back-up singing, a problem so disseminated throughout the record that I'll limit myself to pointing it out with the character §, ha. Still, a good track, compared to Little L, Love Foolosophy or Feels so Good.
Seven Days in Sunny June: at last something indeed never tried in style by Jamiroquai. I mean, there was A Picture of My Life, but they'd already done brazilian music twice (Stillness in Time and Use the Force). This is Sherryl Crow, Maroon 5 pop. One point less to JK and the gang. But the chorus is a feel-good one! By the way, this album is much more of a feel-good album than A Funk Odyssey. One more point for them.
Electric Mistress: § nothing interesting here in songwriting. But I do like Basement Jaxx, so cheers for this song. Not original, not as good as B. Jaxx, tacky bells (reminds me of "Can You Feel It", by The Jacksons). I like it, but this is not good enough coming from Jamiroquai. Anyway, I'll listen to it every now and then.
Starchild: § when I listened to this one, I though: "Best thing they did since publishing TWM". I changed my judgement after listening to the last track. This one is the second best. Indeed dated, but who cares, Music of the Mind and Cosmic Girl are too dated as hell. The bass line of the chorus is very reminiscent of Bootsy Collins. I read someone calling this disco. This is not disco. This is funk, even if the melody in the chorus is almost a rip-off from M. Jackson's Working Day and Night.
Loveblind: cool choice of chords in the intro. Bad choice of almost everything else. Effects, timbres, melody lines, harmony, basically the tackiest song of the record. Worse than Deeper Underground, better than Stop Don't Panic.
Talulah: § boring. Not because it is slow: Everyday and Half the Man are slow and are damn exciting. Spend a Lifetime's BPM is comatose, and it's very moving. This song is rubbish in harmony. I never thought I'd wish for Black Capricorn Day songwriting level to come back. Also, inviting Kenny G to play was a very tacky choice. Deadpan jokes aside, this is a choice made very much by bad era Earth, Wind & Fire. (Wellm good or bad era, Jamiroquai's first records are far better than any EWF effort, anyway. If I want EWF, I'll go for them. I didn't choose Jamiroquai for nothing, they were really good).
Give Hate a Chance: § good harmony in the verse, too joyful harmony in the chorus. Sounds again like early 80's Jacksons' records. The middle-break and the intro are damn tacky. The keyboard as a whole is very tacky. Matt did a very poor job, worst musician of the record. Sorry, Matt. But at least you played the Clavinet, the Rhodes, the Wurly and is it me or there's an ARP string on the last track? Also, I read someone saying that the bass in this album is just as good as Stuart's. It certainly was not meant as a joke. But it feels like one, for the difference is so blatant. The bass on this song is as good as in songs by Tower of Power, The Jacksons, Earth Wind & Fire, etc. Stuart was free to make a much better work than that on albums 1, 2 and 3.
Hot Tequila Brown: wtf. Such a lousy track title. Worst one. I refuse to comment on this.
Black Devil Car: § laughed really hard on the deadpan lullaby part, haha. Along with the intro on Funktion, this is the second joke Jamiroquai ever did. Anyone remembers others? Ahm... what else? Poor chorus. Gets too heavy towards the end. Interesting verse. Could've been a good song.
World That He Wants: boring. Poor harmony again.
Time Won't Wait: § best song since the publishing of TWM. Not such an easy task to top Canned Heat, Soul Education, Where do We Go from Here? and Do it Like We Used To. I truly hope they end this tour's gigs with this number. The chord progression in the chorus is genious. The melody in the verse is reminiscent of Where do We Go from Here?.
There's a fact that many will face as sad, but that I see with some joy. Since the publishing of TWM, there's enough good material to fill in only one record. But it's a damn good record, matching TWM, for my taste:
Canned Heat;
Soul Education;
Falling;
Destitute Illusions;
Butterlfy;
Where do We Go from Here?;
Little L;
Do it Like we Used to Do;
Dynamite;
Starchild;
Time Won't Wait.
It's enough good tracks in six years, for me. Oh, by the way, I still didn't listen to Beatbox. Is it worthy?
(English is not my native tongue, so take this into consideration before pointing out some scant writing skills).

As always, you've some very valid points... I honestly don't understand why people seem to consider this such an awful album. I really like it and I consider myself to have a very good taste when it comes to music. I can't really believe that people were expecting another TROTSC in 2005... Come on, it's more than time to move on.

this is totally nuts...the people complaining and lamenting the new sound are completely insane...
if you evaluate Dynamite as and old skewl acid jazz album, then yes, it is a crap one - BUT IT ISN"T ONE!
people that say 'wtf this isn't jamiroquai omg it's so shit' - last time i checked, the artist information for Dynamite said.....JAMIROQUAI.
the 'jamiroqai sound' is whatever the hell jay and the band damn well choses to produce at any given moment.
it's their band.
it's their album.
it's their careers.
they can make whatever music they want, and no-one has a right to critisize them for their choices
if you happen to like the music, fine.
if you don't that's fine as well.
you, as a consumer/fan/whatever have every right to take it or leave it, but don't convince yourself that as a 'fan', your personal tastes are important enough for Jamiroquai to adhere to.
seriously. |
Well said.
We can now expect that other complaint: the musicians that have left Jamiroquai over the years are far better than the ones that are in the band now... Yawn! |

@ orientalfolksong
Mate! You have written the most informed, accurate and articulate review of Dynamte so far by ANYONE in this forum. 
You have got it exactly right in everything you have said.
Thanks for the excellent review!
Very Happy Dude. |

Ahm, I'm glad you used quotation marks on the word "offensive", because I really had no intentions of offending anyone, not even the guys who did the job. But you have said something interesting. I had never thought of this way to put it: most of the material released by Jamiroquai since after Synk does sound like left-overs when compared to the gems of the albums.
I'd like to thank Happy Dude for the compliments and also point out that I do have the right to criticise Jamiroquai, for it is, at the same time, the right of expressing myself, as long as I don't offend anyone in the band as a person. |

Unfortunately, that's the kind of "discussion" (and I use the term loosely) that you'll get in this forum if you don't conform to the mass-consensus!
Thanks again for the informative review!

I agree in many points with happy dude and orientalfolksong... we should have an interesting discussion and clear facts... there's no point in arguing with someone that thinks "it's good because it's jamiroquai and we're fans and we should think it's good"
by the way... I did like the album and there are interesting stuff in it... I wont expect sthg like ROTSC because these are other musicians... but if this band is still called jamiroquai they should keep a good production. I will elaborate on this later... now I have to go.

Hello there,
I already posted this a few days ago, but I think it fits better in here:
I know I made my review already, but after listening a few more times, I would like to make a detailed review on the album.
This one goes beyond the fanatism for the band. 'Dynamite' improves a lot from the previous one, 'A Funk Odyssey', and one of the things is the running order. Some people criticized the fact that 'Black Crow' became after 'Stop Don't Panic', that is: it was not in a cohesive order. I believe this time they solved that problem, which makes the album to have a better listening. For example, 'World That He Wants' fits perfect between the optimistic 'Give Hate A Chance' and the funk rock of 'Black Devil Car'. Not to mention the fact that 'Electric Mistress' brings an actual sound to the band after the classic Jamiroquai from 'Dynamite' and 'Seven Days In Sunny June'. And it's interesting too because is darker than the rest of the songs in the album.
'Starchild' is one of the strongest tracks in the album and I think the instrumentation in this one, and in a few others, is a perfect mixture of disco music and soul. While 'Love Blind' shows something new from Jamiroquai, like it or not.
'Talulah' is a beautiful ballad. Simply and truly beautiful. Then 'Give Hate A Chance' comes and you realized Jamiroquai makes the happiest disco and dance music of our time.
'World That He Wants' and its political issues, like the Space Cowboy made in the same name album, (I noticed that in some parts he sings exactly like Michael Jackson). And when it's ending, it leaves you waiting for more. I think is a great song and hopefully it will turn controversial, although I think is not new that an artist is singing against Bush, right?
'Black Devil Car' is really growing on me. I thought I was not gonna like this but the lyrics are fun and is the first time I actually enjoy listening to Rob Harris! The middle part kind of that it has a meaning... I mean, he wants the ladies to ride on his 'black devil car'... well that's the part were someone is actually in his car L O L. I haven't tried it while driving -first of all, I don't drive hehe- but I will eventually, so I can't really talk about if it is or not a good song for driving. (Did you realized that other track that talks about Jay's cars, 'Travelling Without Moving', is also on the number 10 in the running order?).
'Hot Tequila Brown' has it's own meaning for Jay and I think is a very personal song. I enjoy it, like a 'Picture Of My Life' little bit happier. I like it because of the fact that sounds kind of reggae for me, and in some parts there are a lot of electronic noises around the track (notice that when Jay sings 'don't shoot me down', you can hear a gun in the back---- this could count for future 'secret sounds' post ; )
'Time Won't Wait'.... ahhh what a beautiful song. I like the lyrics and there are horns in here (I can hear some parts that sounds exactly like Earth Wind & Fire... 'In The Stone' comes to my mind right now), and knowing that the song was made in one take -like 'Funktion'- brings a live kind of feel that I would love to hear in the concerts. This is one of the songs were the backing singers are very well put. To be honest, I don't dislike them in the whole album, although I'm curious to know how it would sound without them, and hear the difference.
Talking about the instruments and their players, I believe the bass stands out. I want to know who of the bassists they used for the album was used in each song. Some of the sections are excellent, and I think you may agree with me on this.
It gets difficult to me to hear Sola during the album, only in 'Time Won't Wait' you realize how good is he. Maybe you hear a triangle at the back in some songs, or percussion in a few parts -like in 'Main Vein', in the middle-. I wish Jay could use him a little bit more, I don't know maybe like in 'Use The Force' -the live version made a good use of Sola!-.
Derrick does his job very good, like always. And I'm glad the drums doesn't sound so electronic... maybe in 'Electric Mistress' the electronic drums are well used.
Matt Johnson. You can notice Toby is gone. But in my opinion I think it was a good thing. I also would like to know who wrote all the songs, and I want to say I like Matt and his keyboards. He's different to Toby, so you can't really compare to different things. Is different in a good way. Maybe JMQ needed this change in the songwriting to sound a little bit different.
Rob Harris! What a dilema. Many of you don't like him. I didn't either. But I like the Rob Harris of this album. The guitar is perfect in most of the tracks, and in the ones that he plays much more, like in 'Black Devil Car', it fits the song. Is not like 'Twenty Zero One', no no. Like I said up there, I enjoy listening to him in this album. I'm glad for that.
And now Mr Jay. It doesn't bother me at all how his voice sounds in the album. I can't see major problems. Ok, I agree on that he sings different from... what? 10 years ago?, is completely understandable! He is not 25 anymore, a lot of singers lose their voices a litle bit. If he is losing his voice and still wants to sing, what can he do? Nothing, except training a lot. He said that he tried to sing 'Feels Just Like It Should' with his normal register but he didn't like it. So he sang it different. The album version is fine, I don't like the live version, that is all that bothers me from Jay. BUT, let's not forget that is the only song from the new album we heard live. With the exception of 'Seven Days In Sunny June', which I think it was ok.
So, to sum up, I think Jay voice is fine, doesn't bother me.
Now it comes the annoying comparission with the other 5 records. Is very hard, cause every one of them was made according to a period of time, and the album was done around that. 'EOPE' talked about planet earth and how the man is destroying it. 'TROTSC' had more political issues. Maybe that is why is one of the best, and why is the one most people like. 'TWM' was more like chill out for me. It had some spotlights and it was the most succesful. 'Synkronized' was made around the success of TWM, including more electronic stuff. Is hard for me to describe that album, is the first one I bought so is special to me (that's another thing we should not forget, every album represents something personal to each of us, that's very important). Same as 'AFO'. That is why is difficult to rate an album in comparission to the others, and that everyone agrees on that rating. So this is just my opinion, and everyone can make his own description of the album, that's why there's a forum for us.
Musically the album is very rich. Like I said before, that the album is made according on what's going on in the world, this one represents something like 'ok, the world is really f_cked up, let's have fun and forget about that for a second'. And I think that is why it stands out from the latest 2 albums. Sounds more powerful, optimistic and upbeat. And knowing that it was made in 18 months, written and recorded in all those places, you attemtp to think that the album has been planned and changed a lot, that there's a lot of work behind it. I think 'Dynamite' is special for all those reasons.
D! (dyego)
PS: I like everyone review's and how they talk about the album so detailed. Good for everyone of you |

I really don't have a problem with people not liking it. But I'm confused
Since when was Jamiroquai really jazz? It technically cannot in any way be called jazz. The band is made up of great musicians, but if you understood what makes jazz, jazz, you would know that aside from SOME of thier few few instrumentals, that they are generally a very pop oriented group that has funk and (70s)jazz influences, now with disco showing up.
Think, How often does Jam perform ... a jam? How often does Jay sit back and let Rob or whoever play the melody to something like Stillness in Time? They are not that kind of band. People know Jay's voice singing these songs, he's a stylist.
Furthermore; original? I think this word is really overrated sometimes. You don't need a deep knowledge of pop music to know that Jamiroquai have always been song oriented, and have always shown, very obviously most times, who thier influences are.
Remember how way back Jay was always called a Steve Wonder rip off ? Well, those people were mostly right. BUT JAY AND THE BAND ARE DAMN GOOD BARROWERS OF THAT SOUND. No one can say that he isnt a VERY strong influence on Jamiroquai's sound. That Late Night Tales he did would be good for some of you. I doubt some people really know it, which is why they have such distorted views of what 'authentic' this or that is. 'Authenticty' being bullshit nowadays anyway, the way most people want to describe it. Some of those old guys are kind of right when they say there's nothing new under the sun.
Does anyone remember WAY back when Jay was trying out to be the singer for Brand New Heavies? (nothing to do with this , Just curious)
Jamiroquai is a favorite of mine because of thier attitude, and because I can see how much they love thier influences, and they take an old style and do it proper. Even way back, really, thier debut was of pop songs.' When ya Gonan Learn?' is an environmentally concerned funky pop song that has a nice brass section and digeridoo for a cool flourish. Do you think the people that come to Jam concerts would want to hear ol' Wallis improv on his Digg for 10 mins? ( I would, but thier music isn't like that, and thats not what fans expect)
| Quote: |
Jamiroquai made such great music, some of it better than the best jazz of the 90's |
How can you compare? really, you're gonna put virtuoso musicians like Brecker and Lovano or Roy Hargrove or the Marsailis' ( Wynton has a Pulitzer!) with Jamiroquai? Im not saying that they are ' better' than Jam. But I like Jam for a certain reason, and NOT because they are ' better than some of the best jazz of the 90s'.
Does Jam play clubs? How many people were at that Verona gig ? They don't fall into the jazz category and if you said that to a pro jazz player that they were better than than ' some of the best of the 90s, you'd be torn apart ( verbally, it's not as bad as saying the same about Kenny G)
Can't Jamiroquai be one of my favorites even though I would never consider it as sophisticated as some other stuff? Like for the Same reason 1977 Star Wars is one of my favorites, even though I know its just a Medieval adventure in space?
regardless, I think this is a strong album , ANY fan can hear the soul of Jamiroquai in "Seven Days', and nobody can say Jay is just about girls after listening to "The World That he Wants'. Also, no one can say Electric Mistress is him sounding like Stevie, ( Jay REALLY likes Basement Jaxx, obviously, but does that make the tune bad?) |

the bad thing is that from twm to dynamite is 9 years, so if that album with those sogns will did as you say, releasing it now, it's such a long time.
about beatbox, i still didn't hear but better if you don't, it's a 13 secs sample of jay's interlude on AFO.
about your review, i also think is a well done review, no offensive and clear.
and moonmans stuff is so right

Of course didn't. Neither did I have any intention of putting you down. It was just a light-hearted comment. I forgot to add a smiling emoticon.

I'd like to thank Happy Dude for the compliments and also point out that I do have the right to criticise Jamiroquai, for it is, at the same time, the right of expressing myself, as long as I don't offend anyone in the band as a person. |
Yes, it's your right. There's no question about it. And you should keep your comments coming, even if you aren't praising the band. This is a discussion board. As long as people are polite and respectful, there's nothing wrong with stating personal views and disagreeing with other members.
