Another Triumph - By: , 29 Oct 2003 
My alll time greatest band Jamiroquai has created a masterpiece in this, their fourth album.
This album seems to stray from the Acid Jazz roots apparent in their previous albums, which angered many fans. I have to say though, there is alot more 'pop' experimentation, but... I love it. In fact the song 'Deeper Underground' was the first song I had heard from this group when I was younger, & now I own every other album. Even after hearing everything else by them this album still holds charm.
When I say experimentation, I mean experimentation. Almost every song is different, Canned heat is very different to Deeper Underground for example. There is alot of dance, pop & still just a pinch of jazz in this album that makes it very versatile & enjoyable to listen to.
Jay-Kay's finest hour - By: , 26 Nov 2001 Exceptional album.
Jamiroquai are one of these bands for whom it took a while to realise their potential. But when it happened, it was explosive.
Inside 'Space Cowboy' & 'Return Of' was 'Synkronized' screaming to be let out.
It combines acid funk (Planet Home) with jazzy dance (Canned Heat) to create a truly rich sound which never stops. There's always something exciting happening in this album, without letup.
It features plenty of standout tracks, but the greatest moments are 'Capricorn Day' & 'King For A Day', both of which show how far Jamiroquai have progressed since 'Emergency On Planet Earth'.
If there is a flaw with the album, it's the samey lyrical themes, in that Jay-Kay seems obsessed with the boy-girl theme, & particularly the 'when it alll goes wrong' side of things. Gets a little grating if you listen for the words. Ignore the vast majority of them, however, & you'll experience of the finest albums of '99.
Different sounding to the previous albums but still ace! - By: , 27 Feb 2001 
Although Jamiroquais forth album is not as good as the previous three & is more commerical than any of its predicessors, it is still a brilliant album. The best song on it is definately "fallling" with its excellent intro & funky beats.
Definitely a step forward for Jamiroquai - By: mcbryan@skynet.be, 18 Feb 2001 This has been a long awaited album from Jamiroquai, & it was definitely worth it. A few of the tracks have been released as singles, although in my opinion they do not do justice to the whole album. As expected, alll of the tracks combine a large dose of bass with imaginative lyrics, although there are the odd exceptions such as King For A Day. The music certainly has the "Jamiroquai sound" but it is clear that the band have evolved (and in my opinion, improved).
A fantastic album, well worth buying!! - By: gnaldrett@mac.com, 14 Feb 2001 This was one of these albums that you look at for ages but never get round to buying. Well thank god I finallly got around to it!! This is another masterpiece by the British funk master himself. With some quality tunes that have proved successful in the charts & the usual Jamiroquai strange but relaxing non-released songs using instruments from alll over the world this diverse album is the most listened to CD in my collection. Buy it now, you will not be dissappointed!!!
