"This album sounds alot like Mortal's Pura in a way, and it's great. I'm not a big fan of the direction that Jerome and Jyro took for Fold Zandura so this is a great breathe of fresh air. I miss the techno side of Mortal. The album has great drive to it, and the songs are quite catchy. It doesn't push the musical boundaries like Jyro's earlier albums or like the newest Mortal album (Nu-En-Jin), but the songs are better than anything you'll hear on the radio, and that makes it worth buying alone. It's hard to find, so snatch it up while you can."

Mortal...fold zan..... JUGGERNAUTZ!!!!!!

"Howdy all! Ed here from Next Gen Radio, fm88.1 in J-Ville,
Florida. I was blessed to get the J-Nautz cd early for radio
airplay. WOW! OK.. what can I say!! The J-Nautz cd is
awesome. The sound is a mix of early MORTAL (evident in the
guitar tones) Argyle Park-ish electronic treatments (but still
VERY Jyro-ish),and of course, shades of FZ appear throughout the
album. 10 tracks of awesome music. Lyrically, Jyro has assembled some beauties! I will attempt a breakdown of the tunes here...1) "The Reach" - The opening guitar chords are Mortal to the
core. I mean.. this could have been on Lusis, guitar wise. The
electronic treatment is what really separates this from that
era, though. 2) "UR" - Mucho electronic treatments! Beautiful lyrics. 3) "Everyday" - This one could have fit on a Argyle Park cd, as
far as the sound. Faster BPM drum loops, with lots of low end
bass action. 4) "Fury" - Wow.. this is one of my favs! Play this loud!
Pretty heavy guitars.. heavier than the FZ sound. Lyrically..
this is a song that totally fits in with what's happening in the
world today. Awesome, and insightful... Musically.. this could
have been a new Mortal tune. Heavy.. low.. Genuis! Jyro.. you
never seem to cease with musical growth!5) "Mandarin Sky" - A sweet song in memory of Gene Eugene..
vocals by the beautiful wife of Jyro, Carla.6) "Pacificoaster" - This one totally fits with the self-titled
Mortal cd. Very instrumental, for the most part. Very well
arraigned!7) "Everlasting"- Jyro... to the core! Beautiful chorus, and
musically enchanting! It's heavy, but not... all at the same
time. VERY catchy! Drum machine?? Certainly doesn't sound like
one. Crank this one!8) "Don't Be Afraid" - hmm.. a mix of AP, with older Mortal.
Low keyed rap vocals from Jyro. Wow.. it works! A tough
sounding song, with the BPM's that gets your head, and body
moving! Well thought out!9) "Believing" - An instant radio hit (in my opinion!). Not too
often a song like this appears. wow... WOW! Guitars..
programming.. and lots of it! Give this song LOTS of listens,
and hear how many things are going on at one time. Electronics,
hums, splashes, keys, guitars.. and vocally.. this is one of
Jyro's finest ever!! I've listened to this over 30 times
already. and I get goose bumps every time. 10) "You Are The Light" - A FZ song! The evolution of FZ
continues on with this song. Beautiful Praise song, the way
that you would expect only from Jyro! Beautiful, melodic, with
some graet occasional heavy guitar riffs that really sets this
emo-ish song with some flavor! Overall.. this disc is a MUST-HAVE for any fan of FZ, Mortal, or
great music! Use headphones, with the bass up!
Jyro... you are AWESOME! This was worth the wait!
