Details: Amazon.ca It's understandable when artists want to grow their fan base in order to more easily make a living and also reach a larger group of listeners. The trick, of course, is how to do this without releasing artistically compromised records that, well, suck. L.A. underground vets J5 were almost a supergroup from the start, combining the formidable talents of the Unity and Rebels of Rhythm crews. If anyone deserves to move beyond the backpack clique, it's them (well, and Aceyalone). And while no one's going to condemn the band for pulling a Black Eyed Peas here, it's hard to imagine really listening to this album as much as its two predecessors, either. Take the lead single, "Work It Out": the jam has a smoove, down-tempo vibe that's nice enough, and the Dave Matthews vocal on the chorus is pretty excellent. But the lyrics--which deal with not only let's-get-back-together-baby material, but also vaguely PC hip-hop--never gel. It makes one yearn for the actual Daisy Age. There are a few outstanding tracks, but overall this is a hip-hop album that sounds as if it were written by a corporate committee--each song directed at a particular demographic--rather than a mini-manifesto crafted to get your fists pumping and/or your feet moving. --Mike McGonigal Product Description Global hip hop super stars, Jurassic 5 are back with their highly anticipated fourth album Feedback. The new album was recorded over the past 3 years during the bands endless world wide touring cycle. Feedback is another chapter in the Jurassic 5 sound and is the perfect follow up to their critically acclaimed albums Power In Numbers and Quality Control. With the ever changing fads and styles in hip hop today, Jurassic 5 remain on top of their game and continue to deliver mind blowing beats and the classic J5 rhymes. With Feedback, J5 stands apart from popular music's fleeting fads and offers creativity and daring music. Fans have everything to look forward to with this album's release, as J5, perhaps the best live performers in music today, start their tour bus engine with classic new material in hand.
