Title: Just Too Damn Mellow
Review: I'm down with the jazzier hybrids. I'm down with the cool guest stars. I'm down with Guru's deadpan rapping style. And I'm definitely down with Jazzmatazz Vol. I, which was plenty of good fun.What I'm NOT down with is this album because, frankly, the rhythms are so limp. Laid back is okay once in a while but there is not one cut here that I would spin live while deejaying--it's all so damn sleepy. Nothing ever rises above midtempo at best, and the downside of having lots of "jazz" all over it is that there are no hooks--just lots of watery, bland music.
Is the review positive or negative?
