So it's 2006 and J5 are still sticking to their schtick as Daisy Age fetishists, living in a world where The Chronic had never been released.
 
They're still bitching about the state of modern hip hop, happily ignoring the 21st century innovations of artists/producers like the Neptunes, Danger Mouse and Timbaland. But maybe ignorance is bliss after all. 'Work It Out' is a chirpy summer tune, the sweetest fruit from an otherwise under-ripe album. The short verses mean that we don't get enough of what we really want: Chali 2na's bear-like baritone. He's the verbal Herman Munster, you know. He says so on the live B-side. Anyway, there are enough of the tried-and-tested vocal interplay between them and the sunny soul chorus shines through the song. Yeah, it's sung by Dave Matthews, but we can pretend it isn't. Ignorance is bliss, remember?
 
Mat Croft - 8/10
