At their best, they put together this amazing b-boy music that disabused you of cynicism and made you smile because the hip-hop sounded true. At their worst, the shit got really stale and even corny. I am kind of glad it's over, because the last couple of years haven't been the best for them. I covered, reviewed, spoke with, and listened to J5 since college.

I met one of their soundmen on an airplane once and we talked about the band quite a bit, but I never got around to a serious listen until now. Thanx for bringing me up to speed on these guys.
