Análisis (en inglés) - :
Like a few other notable sophomore records from {\hip-hop} acts ({^De La Soul Is Dead}, {^The Low End Theory}), {$Jurassic 5}'s {^Power in Numbers} is darker than their first full-length; not as fresh and exuberant, but much more mature and intelligent. Granted, fans may not be happy to hear they've changed the formula so soon, or that the production doesn't play a starring role as it did on {^Quality Control}. Instead, {$DJ Nu-Mark} and {$Cut Chemist} play it close to the vest, setting off the rhymes with a few well-placed beats and split-second samples (as well as the usual flute loops). Of course, allowing more room to hear four of the best rappers in {\hip-hop} twisting tongues and telling tales has to be welcomed, and {$Jurassic 5} prove up to the added responsibility. Displaying a focus and intensity basically unseen in {\rap} music during the past decade, the group practically bursts with message tracks; the skeletal first single {&"Freedom"} finds {$Chali 2na} and {$Akil} delving into the concept as it relates to everything from Third World poverty to the American penitentiary system. {&"Remember His Name"} and {&"Thin Line"} (the latter with {$Nelly Furtado}) are dark tales of urban passions, and they're a step forward in that it's not just the raps that are intricate, but the storytelling also requires a few listens to understand. The group still has plenty of time for a few old-school anthems like {&"What's Golden"} and {&"A Day at the Races,"} with {$Big Daddy Kane} bringing his alliterative ammo to the track. And the instrumental jam {&"Acetate Prophets"} shows {$DJ Nu-Mark} and {$Cut Chemist} refining their skill for merging {\turntablism} and excellent productions. Perhaps the best statement of {$Jurassic 5}'s purpose comes from the group itself, on {&"If You Only Knew"}: "What we do is try to give you what you ain't used to." [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
