Probably Jamiroquai's second best besides Emergency on Planet Earth, with a crazy amount of amazing songs. "Feels Just Like It Should," the title track, "Seven Days in Sunny June," "Talullah", "(Don't) Give Hate a Chance" and “Starchild” are amazing, and "Time Won’t Wait" is flat-out my favorite Jamiroquai song. Great record.
Definitely my favorite "Greatest Hits" compilation. Got this on CD just to listen to in the car.
It’s a fine enough song, but the mix is so devoid of low-end presence and flimsy-sounding it feels like it would shatter if faced with half the might of your pinky finger.
Given that I gave White Light, this album's older sibling, a 100, I expected to like it more. It's basically just a worse version of that, unfortunately, with few highlights.
An absolutely phenomenal, decade-defining masterpiece. A completely perfect tracklist.
FAVORITE SONGS: Like A Rolling Stone, Tombstone Blues, Ballad of a Thin Man (and everything else)
One of the greatest albums ever made. Heartbreaking, gut-wrenching; a perfect musical encapsulation of grief.
FAVORITE TRACKS: Concorde, Good Will Hunting, The Place Where He Inserted the Blade
The first album of this genre I've listened to, and a great one. The suite of "Death & Romance" and "Fear, Sex" is one of the best moments in music this entire year, and I've had the hook from "Image" irreparably stuck in my head since I heard it first. The only thing I don't love about it is the mixing: in some sections, it sounds a bit distant and noisy. Overall, though, one of my favorites of 2024.

An absolutely phenomenal album, just hypnotically repetitive grooves song after song. Mic the Snare put it best: it's like that one short section/variation of a song that you really like, except the whole album is that short section.
FAVORITE TRACKS: Crosseyed and Painless, The Great Curve, Once in a Lifetime
The first three tracks are great trap songs (I think all of them are at least an 8/10, with Ski being a 9 in my opinion) and incredibly fun to listen to in a car with good speakers. They’re actually daily listens for me, specifically when I’m driving (even though I listen to no other Future, or trap at all for that matter). The mixing being so great and hard-hitting is really the main reason I like the first few tracks so much. After that, though, it goes immediately downhill. Very ... read more
One of the most fun jazz albums I’ve ever heard. Just bangers throughout.
It really, truly pains me to rate an RDJ album this low given that he’s one of my favorite artists of all time; however, most of this record is bullshit. Anybody rating this anything north of “not good whatsoever” is doing so simply because this is an Aphex Twin release, and not because this contains any substantial content. I, too, hate to talk about this album so negatively just because it’s by Aphex Twin, but most of this album is literally just modular synth noodling ... read more
A very... decent release. Acid's not totally my thing, but there are some great tracks on here; however, an overall lack of substance is apparent.
Harrowing, bluesy and raw: a screaming start to the greatest-ever trilogy of albums.
[ READ EDIT ]
Now, the first disc isn’t… amazing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good: at least a 75, in my opinion. Its abrasive, repetitive drones just aren’t nearly as skillful and transcendent as Swans would do on To Be Kind and The Glowing Man. The best track on the first disc is probably “Lunacy” or “Mother of the World,” rather than the title ... read more
Absolutely batshit bonkers, and an extremely entertaining listen. For sure my favorite one-off from Benn Jordan.
A pretty nice record, pleasant and approachable. “Smoking Japanese” is my favorite Benn Jordan background music.
