Oh..This is very disappointing..  I don't want to scroll down to see Jamiroquai in the charts. Specially if Dynamite is as good as it is! I think is more complete than AFO, but well... Humans are absolutely unexpected. Words don't come easy..  |

Most of us may not like the techno-dance of AFO, but apparently it hit a bigger nerve in the audience that we have wanted to admit...the sales of Dynamite has unwittingly proven that.
I don't particularly care which way the band goes...to me, both ways are great.

I agree with you, but I think the "boom" of Little L was very important, and it's the main reason to understand the success of techno-dance AFO. Personally I like all the albums, all of them have different ways. AFO have 3 or 4 great songs (Little L was an absolutely comercial impact) but I think it's not complete, it lose the ability to made a compact and complete CD. And Dynamite is probably more mature. But it's only an opinion  |

Its a travesty that Jamiroquai don't get the true recognition they deserve. I've been saying it for years and this dissappointing announcement regarding Dynamite's UK sales figures yet further backs my opinion.
It really does sadden me and makes me a little angry (  )

AFO was totally more successful than Dynamite, and it's a shame... that proves that that "techno dance" music sells more than the cute funk he maded with last album, i think Jay will come with a second part of AFO for the next album because of the success of it... as everybody here seems to love it... for me, AFO sucks...  , and of course, i still think that Dynamite is so much better than AFO...
one thing is true, and is that Jamiroquai is well known for what they did in the past, not actually...
jazz/funk is the key for success...
Bye!

I'm amazed that Keane got so high with an album released in the first half of 2004 
Shame for the Jam...
