Apr 26, 2017awful from the beginning till the end . Jamriquai lost his mojo . where is the groove , he replaced his band with a dj booth and it doesnt sound good at all.

Apr 1, 2017Disappointing, really only two hits on the album (Automation & Cloud 9), and to be honest, both of those aren't long term top tracks. The album may be a grower, but it hasn't grown on me yet. It's consistently average and doesn't do enough exciting stuff to warrant a purchase, unfortunately.

May 11, 2017‘Superfresh’ is less than the sum of its disco parts, though, while the less said about ‘Hot Property’ the better. But it picks up with ‘Something About You’ and ‘Summer Girl’, while ‘Carla’ is an electro-funk classic.

Apr 25, 2017There are few bands who play classic disco-funk with as much genuine love for the genre and care in the productions as Kay and Jamiroquai. Ultimately, it's that sense of love and good vibes that drives much of Automaton.

Apr 20, 2017They may not find new listeners after a seven-year hiatus, but Automaton by Jamiroquai is a strong return and experimental contribution to popular music from a band too often identified solely for one song and its striking video.
