Certainly good if not great
Coming off of their quintessential pleaser TWM, Synkronized seemed to continue pushing towards radio-friendly funk and soul at the expense of better songwriting, making the impressive interplay and arrangements found on their first few releases even less prominent. 3 1/2

I was kind of disappointed when i first heard this back in the day. But time has been kind to this release, and a fair amount of tracks attest to Kay's street-pop sensibilities, displaying an elegant simplicity in the always-reliable production which does prove less is sometimes more.


Butterfly
"
~Plato

Well, I can't say it any better than good ole' Plato. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination, and life to everything. This is a great
album. But for me, the song "Butterfly" is the standout. Certainly gives
wings to my mind, flight to my imagination and, well, you get the point.

"I feel like I'm a butterfly in June
So color in my wings and let me hold your hand.
I could be the sun and you could be my moon.
But all you ever say is catch me if you can.
Feel like a butterfly searching in the summer sky. "

Great lyrics, swirling melodies and hypnotic rhythms abound in this gem of
a song. But you can't go wrong with any of the numbers on this wonderful
album. Have a nice flight!!.


NAPOLEON DYNAMITE SONG ON HERE!
. The overall CD is funky and groovy of course, but wanted to draw attention that "Canned Heat" is the song in the dance sequence in "Napoleon Dynamite".


One Heck of a Great Follow Up! Great Sound Quality! Great Tracks!
No weak tracks at all and although still not as great as "Travelling. I have to admit that after the great "Travelling Without Moving," I was a little hesitant about getting this the follow up album for fear of experiencing the usual letdown of follow-up album falling way short of the classic that preceded it but lo and behold what a great album this turned out to be! Not only are all the tracks great, the sound quality of this very well produced disc is also excellent. . . ", "Synkronized" holds its own very well indeed. Highly recommended!.


I love it!
I saw them in concert earlier this month, they were off the hook. I just bought this album and can't put it down. They did most of the songs from this album and "Funk Odessey". Pick it up, classic Jamiroquai!.
