Basement Jaxx Rooty

3.5 out of 5 stars - "...Fine-tunes their classy thump into a pop-house hybrid that owes something to Prince...the Jaxx have assimilated Prince Roger Nelson's gift for fusing genius grooves with unstoppable melodies..."
Ranked #3 in Spin's "Albums of the Year 2001".
8 out of 10 - "...What's great is the way they go from cartoon disco to sick drug-noise; from imagining Prince as a Chicago house auteur to perfecting Brazil-as-utopia samba-house....every track has that special Jaxx signature..."
"...Where heart and feet meet and lovingly coexist..." - Rating: A-
4 stars out of 5 - "...A hugely engaging follow-up to REMEDY....another brilliantly messy blueprint for UK dance music..."
7 out of 10 - "...R&B flavored pop songs..."
5 out of 5 - "...Stealing the lead back from Daft Punk...re-connecting house music to pop, and punching through house's over-glossy current incarnation with the kind of edge that living in south London cannot fail to provide..."
"...Pushing their own stylistic boundaries, composing an album that is typical and unpredictable in almost every way..."
4 discs out of 5 - "...Sonically, the duo throws interesting and unconventional stuff atop their super-snazzy tracks: punk guitar distortion, electro beats, Tijuana sass, munchkin raps, and sampled organs..."
Ranked #21 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
"...In pursuing the anarchic, joyous mash-up of their debut...to its twisted conclusion...Jaxx find themselves in androgynous, genre-bending territory that is Princely in spirit..."
Ranked #13 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
8 out of 10 - "...Breathtaking...As a manifesto fir unity, ROOTY is unbeatable..."
