Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Two years after Quality Control proved that B-boy-oriented retro-rap doesn't have to be corny, Power in Numbers sees Jurassic 5 gearing up for the revolution. While fans of Quality Control's bright sound will still find much to enjoy here, J5's sophomore offering does a good job at extending their sound. Opening with "Freedom", a quiet yet focused call to action, Power in Numbers presents a slightly darker vision of hip-hop nirvana than the group offered first time around. In keeping with the album's title, J5 have also expanded its extended crew--Percy P (of the early-90s underground group, Double XX Posse) and Big Daddy Kane help wreck the G Rap-esque "A Day at the Races", and the always game alterna-diva, Nelly Furtado, lends a surprisingly effective pop edge to the bouncy "Thin Line". On the production end of things, Juju of the Beatnuts adds his special blend of Colombian madness to the jazzy "If You Only Knew" and the considerably bleaker "One of Them." --Rebecca Levine

Format:Audio CD
After a sizeable break since their last output, Quality Control, this was supposed to be the album in which the group changed, deviated from their distinctive style, alienating a portion of their original fan-base.

Sure the five-man collective have changed, substituting basic yet excellent beats (particularly evident in the Jurassic 5 LP) for a more complex formula that retains the nostalgic feel that identifies the group. The lyrics are still there; from Chali 2na and his bass-filled rhymes to Zaakir and his thoughtful, humourous flows.

The tracks themselves are quite different from each other; they consist of some upbeat tracks (High Fidelity, What's Golden), and beautiful compositions that relax your whole body (Hey). As stand-out tracks, I would pick Freedom, If you only Knew (piano and flute combo? brilliant!), A Day At The Races (guests: Big Daddy Kane and Percy P), What's Golden (Beat!), High Fidelity and Hey.

Give this album time (some tracks do take a few listens) and allow it to find a special place in your CD stack. The production (alternating between Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark, with a few joints by JuJu of the Beatnuts) is on the whole very tight, the album is an lesson in beat-making.

So in summary, an evolved J5 produce another spectacular album combining great lyrics with high-quality beats, resulting in yet another must-buy. I showed this to my friend as an introduction to real hip-hop, his verdict: 'It's great, they've got their own style going'. He has a point, the album is an amalgamy of styles set to a hip-hop template. So it goes without saying that this album is recommended to anyone into good, real hip-hop or to any admirer of remarkable composition skills.

Jurassic Fantastic 3 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
As a big J5 fan, I find this their best album to date. With their trademark "retro" beats, they create fantastic music through breathtaking lyrical ability and feel-good beats and tunes. Their highly original sound is fantastic and every song is fresh.

There is something in the album for everybody, and the honesty in the lyrics, with the harsh words of "one of them" brings you closer and closer to J5.

I am having dificulty describing the music, but it is suitable and welcome for every ocassion.

I don't go anywherre without this album and I would recommend it to anybody.

This album is another perfect combination of great, meaningful (and innoffensive)lyrics and good background beats as well as some excellent cutting and scratching by cut chemist and nu-marc. I would highly recommend this to any hip-hop fan or just a fan of quality music.
