Grade: B | Genre: Disco/Dance/Pop Summary: This album is definitely worth a listen if you're not expecting a musical revolution. The Space Cowboy is back with his usual blend of infectious disco funk wrapped in synthesized packets of Stevie Wonder and 70's house rhythms. Jay Kay returns to lead his ever-evolving line-up of band mates to back up is manic endeavors. His 6th release of the promised 10 LP's he is indebted to Sony, Dynamite is a return to the days of Traveling Without Moving, when Jamiroquai the Band hit its stride and achieved rock success in all corners of the globe beyond their native UK. Since then, even while keeping busy with sub-par releases like Synkronized and A Funk Odyssey, the cat in the hat has seen his stateside success fade like a disco ball in the early morning dew. While Dynamite is an album Jamiroquai fans will have on constant repeat, it's consistently stagnant sound over the years stunts the growth of what some used to call a musical genius.

The opening track, "Feels just like it should," hits the nail on the head. It sets the tone for the whole album and let us know that this is good ol' Jamiroquai...nothing more and nothing less.

Dynamite is an album that doesn't say anything that hasn't already been said before. Tracks like "Seven Days in Sunny June" almost sound like something off their debut, Emergency Planet Earth. The rhythms are softer, and while it still maintains an upbeat feel, it doesn't go out of its way to "drop that Bomb on [you]." Then you get to more familiar numbers like "Starchild" and ("Don't) Give Hate a Chance," which could easily be a part of your Napoleon dance mix. The same sound continues and we feel like screaming, "WE GET THE POINT!" The funny thing is that we keep listening because, though the sound hasn't changed much, it really doesn't need to.

Whether or not Jamiroquai can still break the American mainstream as they did in the late 90's remains to be seen. They are still showered with affection back home in the U.K. but for those of us in the states (where it really counts!), we hope to see some growth and experimentation that bands with long shelf-lives are willing to take. Jay Kay and the boys won't blow your away with Dynamite, but they will continue to prolong the dying resurgence of disco for as long as possible. This album is definitely worth a listen if you're not expecting a musical revolution.
