    The worse thing Jurassic 5 have ever put out. The excellent "Quality Control" now sounds like a distant memory. Avoid.

    This is the first CD I have heard this year that I really consider terrible. It was incredibly annoying even on the very first listen. In general, I dislike when people write bad reviews, but folks need to know to avoid this one, and hopefully they'll turn it around with the next record.

    A BIG disappointment! Can only say one thing! J5 without cut chemist = disaster! As they say in one of there lyrics "Cause stars fall". Well that's what they are doing...

    So damn disapointing. I knew something would be missing with Cut Chemist leaving, but I didn't know it would be THIS bad. The worst part is that they're STILL rapping about the old school and how mainstream rap is trash. Yes, you've mentioned that for the last 9 years. How about saying something new?

    I had thought this album was going to be about dinosaurs or something, but it isn't. Maybe an album where the band members pretend to be dinosaurs and sing about like prehistoric stuff and have a good time. I was very dissapointed when I realized this is basically just some guys rapping and not like dinosaur rapping or saber tooth tiger rapping either.

I don't want to call false advertising or anything, but I think a lot of kids might be dissapointed when they get this under their stocking come christmas morning if you know what you mean. :-(… Expand

    Wow. I was a big fan of Jurassic 5, but what a disappointing album. They need to get Cut Chemist back and forget about going pop.

    Not nearly as good as the first two albums. The tracks lack emotional impact and rapping sounds like a rehash of other artists styles. However, Canto De Ossanha rocks.

    Their lead single has one of the worst artists ever on it. The only real reason to actually LIKE J5 (Cut Chemist) left. There is no variety on the tracks--every vocalist has his piece on every song, leaving no room for anyone to stand out. To top it all off, Scott Storch produces. I should mention that I like hip-hop/rap, and I liked most of "Power In Numbers". Ghostface Killah's Their lead single has one of the worst artists ever on it.

Ghostface Killah's "Fishscale" is better than this, Mr. Lif's "Mo' Mega" is better than this, hell, even though The Street's "The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living" sucked, it still had a few good beats in its system. Therefore, I would say, in response to Tom B's claim that "Feedback" cuts through the crappy output of...something (I assume hip-hop/rap, but he could be talking about pop music as a whole, too), that "Feedback" is disguised as a wonderful throwback to the good old days when all that mattered was your ability on the mic. In truth, this is just "The Massacre" for potheads.… Expand

    W.O.E. is me. Truly. What happened to my favorite Hip Hop group? For years I have loved and had incredible faith in J5, and I feel as though I have been stabbed in the back by my brother when I listen to this album. Ugh, so disappointing.

    The guileless, old-school vibe... feels tired. [28 Jul 2006, p.67]

    We can't blame it all on the puzzling guest appearances because back in the day, J5 would've saved those slip-ups. [Jul/Aug 2006, p.124]
