I'm honestly a bit shocked at the quality of this album. I've been an MMJ fan since the era between It Still
Moves and Z, and have since watched one of my favorite bands hit on some serious peaks and valleys. I've, in
recent years, been able to wrap my head around what they were attempting on Evil Urges and found Circuital
to be at least a rebound after that divisive record. Essentially, I've watched an edgy band lose some of their
distinct edge over the course of years and experimentation. The Waterfall was a vastly surprising return to
form, in my opinion after not entirely loving JJ's debut solo record. This album came out of left field, as it as
an oddly erotic, confrontational blend of psychedelia, funk, R&B, and a lot in between. Jim sounds back to a
pivotal, mysterious point of view I haven't - really, honestly ever heard him sound like - and it's freaking
awesome. I wish this album gained a bit more traction, because as a companion piece to The Waterfall, I think
is a showcasing of a comeback happening before our eyes.
