Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Two years after Jurassic 5's debut album, Quality Control, proved that B-boy-oriented retro-rap doesn't have to be corny, the six-member crew (four MCs and two DJs) seems to be 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 has also expanded its 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


From URB Magazine

With their sing-along hooks, Cold Crush harmonizing and cutesy stageantics, it's easy to understand why Jurassic 5 have had such an easy timefinagling their indie props and old-school sound into sizable mainstream succes\s.J5 will never be confused with the newest, flashiest or most radical crew, andknowing themselves and their limitations has always been part of their appeal.

The flipside of this is that it tends to stunt one's growth, and many feltthat J5's debut, Quality Control, seemed limited by formula, vision and \anadherence to throwback aesthetics. In contrast, the excellent Power inNumbers finds the group inching toward the future with a fuller sound anddifferent looks. "Freedom" finds them in a stern pose, lashing at those whophone it in, 2na chiding, "Got people screaming, 'Free Mumia Jamal'/But two \outof three of y'all will probably be at the mall. " "Thin Line" is J5's oblig\atory "YouGot Me" moment, an F-word ballad pinned down by Nelly Furtado and theghosts of Minnie Riperton and Charles Stepney. Far better is the stunning "Hey,\"a contribution from upstart production duo Shafiyq and Omas that sauntershazily in summer heat. In a particularly good year for nostalgic 1989 soundalik\es,"A Day At the Races" just might claim champion sound with its throwback bassline and guest legend Percee P's breath-defying fast rap. Anachronistic or not,\Jurassic 5's newest is a feel-good protest against a cynical culture, and that \maybe the most progressive act of all.

5.0 out of 5 stars An authentic Hip Hop Record!!, October 15, 2002
By J-Ski 1 (From Albany, NY, Now Manchester, NH) - See all my reviews
Jurassic 5's follow up to their critacally acclaimed "Quality Control", is quite refreshing in comparison to the majority rap albums being released as of late. In many cases "Power in numbers start where the last one left off. Primarlily on tracks like the Cut Chemist produced "Break", the 4 MC's flip different lyrical cadences over a straight up break beat. On "A Day At the Races" the crew invites Big Daddy Kane, and Percy P. to flow over an uptempo track, which takes you back to an era between the "Golden years", and 92, and by the way Akil, Zaakir(Soup), Chali2Na, and Marc7 have no trouble keeping up with the veterans. Other standouts include the first single from the album "What's Golden", which was produced by DJ NuMark, "Thin Line" featuring Nelly Furtado, and "After School Special".

The fellas also hit you with a few unexpected tracks, including "One of Them" featuring JuJu of the Beatnuts, where they go on to exploit the fake thug MC of today, check out the exiting conclusion where Soup rips "if there was no cameras aloud and your bodyguard didn't have to hold your hand through the croud." Another must hear is the smoothed out "Hey", it's definately a track that you can just vibe to.

Jurassic 5 most definately serve up another classic on this piece, and put themselves on another level as far as hip hop groups go today. Lets put it this way each member is a Lion, and when they form together, you get Voltron. That's a powerfull force. At this time the band is definately "What's Golden" in hip hop, but the sales could definately be Platinum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theres power in numbers, especially these 4 emcees & 2 Djs, October 17, 2002
By A. Bedford (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jurassic 5 comes through with yet another album with quality, control and experience. The lyrics have the same positive J5 content but much improved from Jurassic 5 EP release. The beats are more chill and sometimes with a hint of jazz which is more or less the usual J5 style. But if you've liked any of their previous releases you will like this album. The bonus DVD is also a great bonus to the CD. The DVD shows a little bit of each member's life in L.A definitely worth checkin out. Also check out Scratch the movie for a short look at J5 and a little expansion of your knowledge of hip hop.-Peace

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a follow-up. Great hip-hop, February 11, 2003
By Andreas Kaczanowski (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
J5 has been known for their unique lyrical content and assaulting MC styles. Harmonious and teeming with melody, the group truly regains momentum with POWER IN NUMBERS. A great album with an underrated lazy dark jungle beat in "Remeber his NAme" and a powerful single in "What's Golden." Finally there is something decent to play on T.V. considering true talents are shunned from the mainstrstream.

Buy this album if hip-hop's your soul, if harmony is your passion, if music is your life, or if you like to have any sort of good time what-so-ever. Probably the greatest hip-hop album we're going to see, along with the roots, hit the radio and television. And as J5 says, "We keep it true to the game."
