    This time, there's a bankable chorus or barbed sentiment for every mirror-ball moment, not just on the singles. [Sep 2001, p.112]

    The album never truly develops, as the group prefers to rehash old stuff rather than break new ground.

    Excruciating, toe-curling Pain, the sort that makes you want to leap through windows or run over children.

    Amazing work. A funk album that actually stands up to all the other ones out there with unique sounds and rhythms. If you're a fan of Jamiroquai, there's no way you can be disappointed with this album.… Expand
