One of his more consistent projects that is easy to listen to from front to back, perhaps helped by its short running time, but the high moments are sparse. The best beats just aren't as grand or bangin' as he's has before. The beat for 'Wiggle' is actually hard as, but the content and hook lets it down. 'Richer Than I Ever Been' is the best banger here, but the off beat keys bother me a bit. I think I mentioned this is a previous review of one of his albums, but at times his flow annoys me. That quick bar, pause, and repeat. It grates at times. Best Tracks: Little Havana, Made It Out Alive, Richer Than I Ever Been

I like enough of this album. The only thing is there are occasions where I like the second part of the song/the prelude more than the beginning, so you have to skip half the track. It should've been put together differently. There's nothing I love with a passion, but there are a number of good songs in the middle of the album with catchy melodies. It's too inconsistent for a higher rating from me though. Best Tracks: SexyBack, My Love, Lovestoned, What Goes Around...

Feedback is J5's fourth album. They are a group of five, which is a modification from their past LP's where they had six due to Cut Chemist (who handled a lot of the production of their older albums) leaving the group to concentrate on a solo career. Would it affect them? This was the question. Yes is the answer. While J5 still maintain a different sound to most rap groups/artists around, Feedback is certainly more of a commercial/radio-friendly sounding album and has less of an underground/alternative hip-hop theme than their previous releases. Whether that’s a bad thing depends on what type of music you enjoy. The main problem I find with this is there are a few songs that remind me of the Black Eyed Peas, including the Scott Storch produced 'Brown Girl' and 'Baby Please'. While they are as poppy as it gets, the album maintains this poppy undertone for much of the album, that wasn't present on their previous albums. Overall, it's far from horrible, but it just doesn't really work. Hopefully, if J5 ever come together again for another album, they go back to their roots and what sounds best. Best Tracks: Back 4 U, Where We At, Future Sound, Red Hot, End Up Like This

A fairly consistent release from two veterans of hip hop. Apart from a couple of harder tracks like 'Pass The Mic', 'Little Young' and 'A's & E's', much of the beats are hard but soft, in that they are backed by hard drums but soft sounding melodies. Track for track, everything except for the ill-fitting punk-rap song 'Dancing Like a W.G.', it's a pretty solid, yet nothing too outstanding album. Best Tracks: Fans, A's & E's, Little Young, Reminds Me, Pass the Mic, Round and Round

The story of two cannibal parents and a son who knows something is wrong. While it has moments of creepiness, I found a lot of this to be forced and then when it has an opportunity to get tense - e.g when the teacher is almost stabbed to death - happy music plays.
