Power In Numbers

Not the worst ever, but I still can’t stand the genre.

Listened Before? N This was ok. It was not what I expected at all. I thought it would be electronica but it's classic-style rap. I didn't mind it but it's not my favorite. Added to library? N Songs added to playlist: What's Golden

It is okay. Not so amazing.

Albumik znany i wyopiniowany, sluchany w zamierzchlych czasach poznawania czarnych brzmien, fajnie przypomniec czasem takie klasyki, power in numbers nigdy nie byl moim ulubionym krazkiem w dyskografii J5, ale nie sadzilem, ze plyta jest az tak nierowny, nie ma tutaj jakiegos spojnego theme a kazdy z trakow stara sie robic cos innego niz poprzedni, zwlaszcza od strony produkcyjnej za ktora stoja dj nu-mark i cut chemist, lirycznie i pod wzgledem flow chali 2na nie ma sobie rownych, chociaz to moze zasluga ulozenia zwrotek, bo wiecej tutaj kawalkow podzielonych na zwrotki pomiedzy ekipe, zamiast barterowych wymian wersow ktore mozna uraczyc na debiutanckim J5 czy quality control, na plejke dodam whats golden, bo chyba najwiekszy szalgier bandy wedlug spoti, a jakos nie mialem jeszcze wrzuconego, dzisiejszym odsluchem jedynie potwierdzilem swoja wczesniej wyrobiona opinie na temat tej czesci dyskografii ekipy z LA

Just okay

Felt like it was the same kind of drum beat for most of the songs. Kinda grooved to a few, then felt like I'm hearing the same track as the album moved along. Can't say I disliked, but nothing I'd upload to my library. Bonus for the song with Nelly Furtado. Something about her voice I dig. 2 for me. Really hoping for something new for me,soon, that makes me feel wow, what have I been missing?

Alright

Dd not listen

Jurassic 5 have never really appealed to me, I think it's the back and forth between multiple rappers that just makes my head spin. They've definitely made some excellent songs but overall this album just all sounds the same to me

not my style...

I quite enjoyed the old skool breaks, but that was about it. This is an album to dance to, rather than to listen to. No bad thing, but perhaps listening through my MacBook on Spotify didn't do it justice.

Early hip hop and drum and beat that hasn’t aged well.

Good beat, but not my style

Meh

Hip-hop suave y con variedad de estilos dentro. Para amantes del género

It's alright, but I just don't get a lot of enjoyment out of hip hop. 2 stars.

2, not great

Wasn't a big fun, had a couple of listenable tracks but nothing great 4/10

I put it on and tuned it out completely while I was working this morning. Nothing resonated, nothing stuck. I know the name Jurassic 5 and I know they had a major hit at some point in the early/mid-2000's but I could not recall for the life of me what it was and I don't think I ever heard it while this album was on. Just a very meh listening experience overall.

Rommelig

Ik vond het op een gegeven moment saai worden omdat alles op elkaar begon te lijken. Zaten leuke stukken tussen maar als geheel toch niet heel boeiend.

In het begin leek het me een fris deuntje, daarna niet meer zo.

Maybe it's a bad day, but I didn't like it too much. There isn't anything particularly bad about the songs, they are just too much the same as any modern hip-hop, but they haven't anything special for me.

was inoffensive but almost offensively so - get me. 2. passed me by.

Some pretty good production and music here but rap just doesn't do it for me. I did manage to make it through about half of this album - some parts sort of OK but couldn't take anotheer 8-9 cuts.

Definitely better than most rap I've ever heard. I listened to 8 full tracks without needing to skip any. That's way ahead of the vast majority of rap albums. Still, I see absolutely no reason to listen to the rest of this. I can't understand why this album is supposed to be particularly relevant (the Wiki article offers no clues) and although it's better than most rap, that doesn't make it good for me.

Run of the mill rap. I hate rap.

Nah.

this style of rapping is sounding pretty dated now

No me gusta pero es bueno. 2.

i should like this more than i do. its actual hip hop, its rappers with really listenable flow and its not about bitches and hos. its just a bit cheddar. i don't get how this will play out for the list - the self titled album and quality control are both far superior to this cheesy crap so i'd expect them both to be on the list. if this is on the list over the self titled then that would be straight up mental.

Freundliche Flows, ich würd’s mal als Millenium Style zwischen dennStühken bezeichnen. Sehr nett auch, aber: mir auf Dauer zu eintönig.

2/5 naaah

Not my cup of tea. As most more "old school" rap albums, this one does not click with me

okay hip hop sound.

meh

Not for me.

Noen kule låter, kul produksjon til tider, men føles som en tannløs parodi av A tribe called quest som kom 10 år for seint. fordi det er så mange i gruppa varierer det veldig på kvaliteten på flow. mye opp og ned. STERK 2stjerner

Not bad but just not my style

one of the songs said Gene Simmons

great beats and smooth rhymes. Definitely has racial and political underpinnings. One of the best rap albums?

Whatever

a rap album for people who don't like rap. corny, very early 2000s. well produced but sort of uninspired. run time is too long. nothing on it screams "must listen to before you die".

I guessed from the cover that this is a hip hop album, and sure enough I was right. I usually don't enjoy hip hop much at all, so this was a pretty painful listen. I gotta be honest, when the music is this simple and repetitive the chances of the album getting even a mediocre rating from me were fairly low from the start. After a couple of songs, I began to lose whatever little interest I had in the album, and soon I could no longer keep up with the lyrics and zoned out. I am reviewing these purely subjectively, so this album gets one star.

no mi tipo de música, no me encanta el rap

Not mine

Not my vibe but understandable why people love it

yea not great. cant say much else

Not

Once again, it is not really something I would normally listen to. It is surely not bad at all, but not for me.

Not a rap fan

Not my vibe

2 - TERRIBLE

Alternative hip hop built from warm soul samples, crisp boom-bap beats, turntablism, and tightly coordinated group vocals feels like watching a team of exceptionally skilled street basketball players effortlessly passing the ball between each other—while I am just watching the ball passed back and forth, occasionally impressed, but never fully understanding why anything matters. For me, the album plays out with that same sense of distance: competent, well-executed, but tactically opaque and emotionally flat, loosing my attention fast.

I gave it another try this time, but no, hip-hop isn't music. What I heard wasn't as bad as other hip-hop albums. But I didn't feel like wasting my time on stuff I don't like. 1/5

really don't like this stuff

Schon ganz gut flowy und vibey. Aber beats sind bisschen lame / ändern sich zu wenig während einem Song Dnf

No me dice absolutamente nada

did not listened, sorry to this album

Meh

Good message. But corny.

No es mi estilo.

salam alaikum

Not my thing

Horrendo hijo deputa

I understand why people would like it but it's just not my thing.

klonk als Weird Al op een zeer slechte dag

Didn’t listen tbh

Nie voor mij

3/10

Jurassic park Jurassic coast Jurassic period Jurassic fossils Jurassic dinosaurs Thats five

Hip-hop isn’t usually my thing, and listening to this album hasn’t changed my mind.

longest hour of my life

Nort for me

nah

Did nothing for me!

A lot of the albums suggested here are middle school albums like intro to music stuff

À la tercera canción ya me vi el cotarro. A la sexta ya se me hizo bastante insoportable ni como música de fondo. No llegué a acabarlo.

One song... on an Lp of 17 total? This is a must hear LP?

No tengo ni idea de esto. Por favor, que no sea nu metal, esa portada me hace sospechar. Por favor, nu metal no. Peor: es un disco de gente hablando rápido. Paso. La vida es demasiado corta como para esto.

Not really my type of music.

Not my cup of tea

This is extraordinary. People go into a studio to record this stuff. Then other people pay money to buy or stream it. Then someone decides it's one of the 1,001 albums one should hear before one dies. Nope, beats me.

As Pearl Jam sang on Vitalogy, this is not for you!

Incredibly boring. With albums by People Under the Stairs, Edan, The Streets, and The Roots, 2002 was filled with innovative beats. Power in Numbers pales in comparison.

No. 1/5

Not for me

no me gusta

The T-Rex is not from the Jurassic... Track 6 "A Day At The Races" just dropped this to a 2 star ⭐⭐ just for that wtf. Ok... Its giving a 1 ⭐ that track 14 "One Of Them" has completely ruined this album for me way to many slurs Never recovered 😔

not my vibe

Rap is bad. Slow rap is just as bad

Boring and forgettable west coast hip hop. Really don't see why this was on the 1001 albums list 2/10 Favourite: None Least Favourite: None

Damn boring

Not a fan

Alternative title: Hip Hop by the Numbers. 1/5

what in the world… another hard listen. 💔 i normally do not like hip hop, but this one especially was just not my cup of tea. i could not even listen to the whole thing—i got to about five songs before i gave up. perhaps it is just not my mood lately, like i just do not want to listen to something like this, and i could not force myself to fully listen. i can understand how people might like it to some extent, but i just was not feeling it. not a bad album or artist—everybody just has a different taste, and this one was not mine. ❤️

This is my second hip hop album in the same day. I probably haven't listened to as many hip hop songs as I listened to one after another today in my entire life, so now I feel like I've experienced a brain trauma. Or at least like millions of my brain cells died. But at the end I started to move my head a little bit, so I guess there's progress.

Not my kind of music, painful...

woof

Jurassic Park 5. No movies. I thought there were no movies here. I can’t watch the dinosaurs. It’s too early. I specially the fifth installment. Do the dinosaurs open a prehistoric human park? That might be an interesting take. Well if it’s not a movie, I genuinely have no idea what this is. I am so incredibly tired today. I believe that in an attempt by the powers that be to monetize every aspect of my life, I have finally succumbed to whatever brain damage has been inadvertently caused by the cheap/addictive ingredients in everything. At least I’ll fade into the static abyss listening to another of “one of the most essential albums to ever be reased.” It’s not a reggae album is it? Oh no. This might just be an intro. Let us pray. Oh it’s a rap album. An entire triceratops worth of relief has washed over me. I mean the radio announcer voice guy needs to hang up the microphone forever, but this song is fine. There he is again. That voice needs to go. It’s not good. Based on these lyrics, I’m worried I’m not mistaken in assuming this crew is indeed one of the “corny-ass” variety. Chorus is bottom 5 of all time. A few of the rappers have good deliveries, but the lyrics are terrible so far. Beat is more what I’m interested in, but we’re in the lyrical miracle zone big time. I don’t know if it’s the brain damage, but this puppy sounds like rap written for a rapper that has a small part in a teen movie. “A Day at the Races” was in something. I don’t know what though. Master Blasters mentioned. Kevin Nash seething. I’m just not getting into this at all. This sounds slightly cooler, but everything feels so generic. Best song so far though. What’s Golden is not a question posed by these young fellas, but rather a statement. The verbal Herman Munster. Alright. I’m done. THIS SUNDAY, A RAP ALBUM SO BAD, COMMON HAS ASKED FOR A FEATURE 14 SEPARATE TIMES. We’ll settle for Nelly Furtado following this dope giving us a “lesson in friendship.” The movie trailer voice is really the issue. Another slog through the most mid rap ever released. Dad’s riffing off of a sugar hill gang beat. Well after another forgettable track/interlude, we get an eerie beat on “One of Them.” Immediately ruined by testosterone supplement commercial man. The other rappers help a little bit, but I think they’re making fun of intimidating rap. Oh my god they’re making fun of guys saying “fuck the police.” Jeeeeeez. Hey. We’re just 5 dads and uncles trying to get you out to a party. The party that’s the place to be, there won’t be guns, but we will be rapping the whole time. Anyway, we are also going to sing THIS song about it and hire a nameless feature to repeatedly whisper “Hey” in the most despicable fashion as we go to the party. So how many tickets can I put you down for. Hey? Hey. I AM somebody ok? This is like that James Brown/Afrika Bambaataa song. PEACE, LOVE, UNITY, AND HAVING FUN. Well we got an elephant sample. No rapping. Best song by a country mile. It’s still a huge sampling mess but hey, no “my mind is minefield where I play Minecraft in a raft, call me shaft. I write lyrics in space, can’t you see my face, I’m winning the race, brace, yourselves for a rockin’ MC a man who’s in the place to be, with me a ha ha ha.” That’s this whole thing. This thing isn’t offensive. To anybody. It does all it can to offend absolutely nobody. I find that in itself to be a grievous offence. I can’t even really put my finger on exactly why it’s so bad. Probably the brain damage. The quotables made me cringe rather than get excited. I mean I do love a good cringe here and there, but this hurts. These lyrics man. Nothing clever. If this came out in 1986, I’d be marvelling at the beat and it would probably be a lot of fun, but two thousand bloody two??? We are almost a decade removed Ready to Die at this point. You guys talk about how rap is bad when they talk about guns and drugs, but those rhymes are a million times better than whatever this is. At least drug rap has clever wordplay and is a reflection of some kind of heavy experience. “Power in Numbers” is an album that is ABOUT writing words that rhyme in a sleep inducing fashion. The power in numbers, hey? Well get ready for a Jurassic 1 (star). 1 HIGHLIGHTS: Acetate Prophets, “One of Them” had a good beat! I wish it was one of the songs they were attempting to criticize.

This is a truly dreadful and boring album.

Certainly not my thing.

Too corny

Absolute shit...again

no me gusta el rap

Just no...

Boring. I favor music over lyrics, and there's no music to speak of.

Yuck

rubbish

I can understand why there are so many people raving about this album, or about the group. However, I can't share the sentiment... Not a fan. 1*

Great another piece of hip-hop crap. Fantastic another album of songs that all sound exactly the same. Can't tell you much I've been looking forward to that. And what's with the garbage filler that makes it sound like you are listening to an awfull radio-station. What's the point of that besides being extremely annoying. Oh and finally why does Spotify tell me that this is the "Explicit Version" WTF is "Explicit" about the mind-numbingly bland and boring lyrics. Managed to get about halfway through this before I couldn't take it anymore.

No thanks

Je ne connaissais pas ce groupe. J'aurai préféré ne jamais le connaitre ... arrêt au troisième morceau.

If you enjoy rap, it ok

Not my thing

Well this album has the dubious distinction of being the first time I have given a 1/5 three times in a row. Well deserved in my view! Only to be surpassed if another 1/5 turns up tomorrow. As I seem to keep on saying this type of music not meant for likes of me so I cannot give a meaningful review. Getting worried now that with all these 1 out of 5’s turning up my streaming and Roon algorithm’s will start thinking I actually like this stuff. Or maybe this is just an April fool and this album will get replaced by a 5/5 classic after 12 noon? (Addit - no such luck!) 1/5 1/4/24

Not to my taste. Though I liked the classical flute

Nah

This did nothing for me.

Not my jam in any way

Not for me

Boring and repetitive.

Jazz or rap? Not sure. Like the jazz, not the rap.

I don’t particularly care for rap.

Never heard of this group. Not a fan.

Not for me

1/5 this album came out 20 years too late.

Nah, not my style

I listened to the entire album with an open mind……I still hate rap and hip hop. Not my thing. Too much the same. Fast talking’s the game, but it’s lame, inane, insane, trying to make a name, get fame, but I want none of it, no fun in it, put a gun to it and blow that shit away.

I do not enjoy most rap "music" as there is very limited (if any) musical instrument talent. It's all about the lyrics which tend to be vulgar, degrading to women, very juvenile, and immature.

Ei hyvä

Finally.. the first rap album I've gotten on this thing! and its one that I couldn't really get into.. I definitely appreciate this style of hip hop, a lot of old heads would say its the best and I recognize it for what it is but I just could never really get into the kinda boom-bap sounds. Its just not really my style but I know others would appreciate this and I know its a great album. Overall: 1.6/5

Not really my kind of music

Not good.

Þetta er ekki eitthvað sem mér finnst skemmtilegt. Algjörlega gleymanlegt og snerti mig ekkert.

Not for me.

Interesting music. However, a bit hard to listen to. Not something I would listen to again.

Testou minha paciência coma sequencia de discos de hip hop, e para piorar, este foi o mais ruim.

Ok

Not keen on rap. Quite jazzy though.

Mince

I thought this was pretty good. Originally a four… until about twenty minutes in, where it became a three… so why the 1? ‘One of Them’ is pure homophobia. It’s not satire, it’s complete shit. I shut this absolute nonsense up as soon as I realised.

En lyssningsbar låt och det måste då betyda 1 i betyg.

Meh

Absoluut mijn ding niet

Det här sög, rappandet varierar från dåligt till helt okej, beats varierar från dåligt till helt okej. Alla teman har gjorts på intressantare sätt tidigare och ljudet som helhet låter som att de apar efter rappare som gjorde sin musik 10 år tidigare. Refrängerna låter tvingade och har väldigt lite att säga. Rapparna själva låter väldigt sterila, tråkiga, stela. De älskar att skryta med hur bra flow de har och hur bra de är med pennan, vilket gjorts tusenfalt bättre tusen gånger före detta album. Det är också ett tema som blir tråkigt väldigt snabbt. På 2000-talet fanns en hel massa alternativa hiphop-album som är mer nyskapande och underhållande, Power in Numbers är inget man måste höra före man dör.

8 or a 9. Could definitely be a 10 depending on my mood
