Jason Kay melds his longtime '70s fixations with '80s style synths on Dynamite, Jamiroquai's first record since 2001's A Funk Odyssey. It's been a long time since the acid jazz/funk hit "Virtual Insanity" (1996's Traveling Without Moving, to be exact), and even though the band never became the huge hit machine they seemed destined to become, they've continued to put out solid work. Odyssey and 1999's Synkronized showed off Kay's dexterity with this material, mining urban dance grooves from a goldmine of Motown, Stevie Wonder and far-ranging disco and soul. Dynamite keeps going, constructing an exuberant club vibe out of R&B styles, but also borderline electro ("Electric Mistress"), jumpy Squeeze-style pop ("Black Devil Car") and soulful, smooth nostalgia ("Seven Days In Sunny June"). A would-be guilty pleasure, only without the guilt, Kay's musical obsessions combine with his burgeoning talent on Dynamite to create another winner. --Matthew Cooke

 DYNAMITE!!!!! October 20, 2008
For those who like Jamiroquai, I don't need to tell you how great this album is. This review is for those that don't know his work. This would be a GREAT first album for you to get to know his music. With a little 70's funk influence, and his usual dance/electronica style, he has a very danceable, very groovy album put together. You won't be disappointed (unless you don't like this style of music, and in that case you've bought the WRONG album! That's on YOU!!!)

This is one the strongest efforts by Jamiroquai. He has cretaed his own style which is very recognisable and, of course, he keep persuing it. Jamiroquai is innovative because he is different from others. And, this is true to his every album.
"Dynamite" is diverse in tempo and includes a number of really good songs. Some of them you may enjoy when you are up in the spirit and need some further drive, the others will serve well when you are a bit down in the mood. The album is recorded very well, both highs and lows. Very well defined bass. The voice sounds very natural. The sound engineering is great.
You will enjoy both the music and the sound. You will hear the details that add to the overall perception of this highly recommended CD. Take time and it will grow on you even more.
Great blend of pop, rock, jazz, dance music ! March 15, 2007

Jamiroquai propels their tunes with a contagious rhytmic section of bass & drums, plus a jazzy piano, swinging pop lyrics, some tasteful guitar work and on top of that a great excuse for hitting the dance floor or at least tap a beat with your feet or hands. Excellent !

Dymanmite is yet another montage of eclectic musical genius from Jamirouquai. Although this album is phenomenal it is no better than any of the others. Only different, on yet another level. But then again each of their albums are an expression of the mind(s) and soul(s) behind the sound, boundless. If you haven't yet seen Jamiroquai in concert you must put attending a performance in the US or abroad high on your list of priorities. Why? Don't ask just go and see for yourself. By the way, my favorite song from the album is Seven Days in Sunny June.
 Great album... January 13, 2007
A long time Jamiroquai fan, I was disappointed when I first listened this record... somehow I was looking for it to best "A Funk Odyssey" and "Synkronized" right away. I had forgotten how long it took for those albums to grow on me. After having "Dynamite" in the collection for 3 weeks, I have come the conclusion that this album is a worthy continuation of the Jay Kay saga. If you are a die hard fan, I think you'll find it hard to rate the album above "A Funk Odyssey" and "Synkronized" but probably right on par.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME for this album to grow on you...
