Format:Audio CD
I bought this album as a huge J5 fan, who owns all of their previous releases, and was curious as to how they sound without the departed Cut Chemist.
The first time I listened to this CD I was very disappointed, but now after several listens I believe Feedback is a solid album, but is easily Jurassic 5's weakest offering, but only because of the quality of their other 3 albums (J5 LP, Quality Control and Power in Numbers all 5 out of 5).
I am not sure exactly what is inferior about this album, but it just seems to lack a definitive deluge of quality songs, the sort of thing that defines their other 3 releases
(J5 LP- In the Flesh, Concrete Schoolyard, Action Satisfaction);
(Quality Control- Influence, Quality Control, The Game);
(Power in Numbers- Day at the Races, Thin Line, What's Golden).
Having said all of this, I have only owned Feedback for the best part of a month and Quality Control and Power in Numbers both took a while to "get", so it may be a slow-burner that will grow on me but my initial opinion is that Feedback is and will remain inferior to their other releases.
I would recommend purchasing if you:
a) have all the other J5 albums
b) are "bored" of the other J5 albums
c) are a big fan of J5
If you want a J5 album, get any of their prior albums(J5 LP, Quality Control, Power in Numbers).
I personally rate Quality Control their best, but not by much.

L Foulkes review is spot on. This LP is different from their previous efforts - definitely more commercial and `modern' in its approach - but I'm just not sure whether I like it as much.
Perhaps because key member Cut Chemist has left the group, the retro funk/soul/blues beats and samples have taken a backseat in favour of a more stripped-down feel and a wider use of programmed drums and synths. The lyrics are still very J5 - albeit with a bit less interplay between the MCs - and Chali 2na still stands out as one of the best rappers about.
But parts of it do sound very un-J5-like and some people might find this a problem. Many of tracks here echo songs like `Thin Line' and `Freedom' from `Power In Numbers' with only `Radio' truly harking back to `Quality Control', whilst `Brown Girl' really stands out as a very new direction for them without breaking any new ground hip-hop-wise. I have read some poor reviews of `Work It Out' too but I thought it was one of the stronger songs showcasing this `new' direction.
It's not a bad album and it still reeks of J5's quality but the new stuff takes it`s time to work. I'm just not sure it will still be on my stereo this time next year - unlike `Quality Control' which I hardly have off.

Whilst many hardcore and loyal J5 fans are criticising the album for straying away somewhat from their previous sounds, and opening up to a more mainstream sound, I still think this album is very much worthy of the money.
The collaboration with Dave Matthews Band seem to be a obvious way at working a 'money spinning' Single - but why is this a bad thing?
Sold out? Not quite. J5 are still behind the release and are doing what they do well, and 'Feedback' is well worth the money.

Pretty bad
Like many of the reviews posted, I love J5's previous work. However, this new album seems to be a far cry from what listeners have become used to and love. Read more

A slightly different approach by J5!
There are a few songs which all J5 fans will instantly associate with J5. However there are some songs with a much different approach but still gives that easily listing vibe,... Read more

Hip-Hop for the masses
For me Jurassic 5 have been synonymous with breaking the mould and keeping alternative Hip-Hop real (To coin a couple of clichés). Read more

Good by many other artists standards, very weak by J5's standards.
Jurassic 5's previous albums have all been great. Slick vocals, polished and interesting backing tracks. Consistently great hiphop, until now. Read more

Feedback - J5's Future Sound!
"Feedback" is J5's long awaited sequel to 2002's "Power In Numbers". The 1st thing to make clear is that without a doubt this is a more commercial album than any of J5's previous... Read more

It's a short, sharp, shock in the arm!

Would somebody please bring back the funk!
No,no,no,no,no! This sound is not what J5 fans want to hear! J5 were about being funky, having live recording loops, lyrical flow and above all, a sound that nobody else could... Read more

Weak.....
Red Hot sounds like the J5 I know and love.... but the rest of this album has a horrible RnB feel to it.
If you like RnB then you probably don't like J5. Read more
