With a CD cover like that, there's no excuse to not buy "Rooty"...

by   paulyoungotti , top reviewer in Music at Epinions.com ,  Jul 10, 2002
Pros: Melting pot of differing musical styles. Unlimited ambitions musically. Attention to detail.
Cons: Flirts with the line of complete pop crossover danger a few times too many.
The Bottom Line: Meticulously produced, and far-reaching in influence, "Rooty" is a funky, feel good record that will get your hips twitching, your head nodding and your feet moving.
Review: House has always appealed to me in small doses. This mainly British music form is a specifically formed “big beat” style of music – undertaking musical influences from funk, soul, hip-hop, R&b and numerous other styles of music. It’s fun, upbeat...

Everything Basement Jaxx does is awesome!

by   x_snowqueen_x ,  Feb 5, 2004
Pros: Great Beats, Great Songs, Very Creative
Cons: Nothing!
Review: Don't listen to these pansies who gave this album two stars. They aren't judging it fairly. The whole album is great. When they complain it is too pop. Well I like it a little catchy and fun. Rather than some artsy crap like some other electronic ...

The House That Jaxx Built

by   stoffy ,  Oct 1, 2003
Pros: A interestingly wide range of styles and sounds
Cons: Sounds better in the club than on the CD player
The Bottom Line: An interesting range of influences give rise to an interesting and highly listenable album
Review: A munching gorilla set against a background of stars and vivid pink isn't a look that too many music stars would go for on the front of their albums. However, Brixton's Basement Jaxx aren't your orthodox band. Known to their mothers as Simon Ratcliffe and ...

Well, it's better than Britney

by   Evo ,  May 14, 2002
Pros: Superbly produced pop music that'll please your little sister
Cons: That singing needs some tolerance
The Bottom Line: It's pop. And that means girly vocals. But don't worry - it's good quality pop.
Review: You can tell from the cover that she'll like it. Your little sister, that is. When you're faced with choosing between Britney Spears and Basement Jaxx for a birthday present, Basement Jaxx wins every time. And not just with your nine-year-old siblings....

Very clever, But not very dancy.

by   darkstaredits ,  Feb 16, 2004
Pros: The trademark Basement Jaxx sound bytes are very entertaining
Cons: The music can annoy very quickly.
Review: If you can call this house then I'll kiss my a*s! This isn't exactly what I would call a dance floor house album. It very VERY clever with the little sound bytes and production but is a little silly at times. (well I guess this IS basement Jaxx..) ...

Sophomore Slump

by   dj_spectre ,  Jun 27, 2001
Pros: Stronger material is catchy, danceable
Cons: Lots of album filler; uninspired lyrics; not innovative enough
The Bottom Line: An ultimately forgettable record. Not terrible though, and may provide decent background music, but don't expect any more from Basement Jaxx's sophomore effort.
Review: Rooty is British production duo Basement Jaxx's second full-length release, the first being Remedy. What the listener gets with this release is a pop-house style comparable to that of Daft Punk's Discovery album. Basement Jaxx's...

Staying Put in the Basement

by   rahu69 ,  Jun 26, 2001
Pros: Romeo, Get Me Off, Where's Your Head At & Do Your Thing.
Cons: Some of the worst, cheapest sounding tracks ever can be found on this album.
The Bottom Line: This album is one of extremes - the good songs are really good and the bad songs are really bad. This is one time that the bad outweighs the good.
Review: This has to be one of the cheapest albums ever produced. At least Prince's early "experimental" work had its redeeming qualities. Basement Jaxx's version of funk on their sophomore release "Rooty" is extremely garage sounding. "Breakaway" and...
