Summary: What Funk?
Comment: How dare he use the name Funk in the title. Funk is James Brown, George Clinton, Sly Stone, etc. THIS IS DISCO MUSIC.

Summary: Try not to be too hard!
Comment: Last night I've listened again this album and I liked a lot "Love Phoolosophy".

Summary: Stu Zender has moved on...let it go
Comment: The first three Jamiroquai albums are great/groundbreaking and Stu Zender's bass playing had a lot to do with their misical richness. "Synchronized" was a pretty good album (it took some time to grow on me admittedly) but "A Funk Odyssey" is even better. Yes, it's very different from earlier disks, but it is very funky head bopping music. The first two tracks ("Feel So Good" and "Little L") are especially good. I also really like the last track "Picture of My Life" (and it would be awesome if "Feel So Good to be Real" was released as a full track). I got a better appreciation for this album after watching the Jamiroquai: Live in Verona DVD - check it out if you haven't already (I got mine on Ebay). This is good music - give it a chance and embrace Jamiroquai's new direction.

Summary: Jamiroquai - Always the hotness!!
Comment: Jamiroquai does it again in this album. The song, "Butterfly" alone is worth the money spent. I love the funk sounds and the bass grooves are ALWAYS on point. You can "see" the needle gliding on this record! If you didn't understand the previous sentence, you are not old enough to truly appreciate this album.
It is Funk-tabulous!

Summary: one of the all time great funk/dance/pop/retro cd's ever
Comment: you're missing the boat if you don't get this cd, put it on and catch a major groove. only one - maybe 2 duds on the cd - but the jams totally make up for it. don't think I've missed a week listening to it since it came out.

Editorial Reviews:

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
