Free Music Review: Jack strikes again
Hit: 4 Stars
You know what to expect and Jack delivers, even though this latest collection is not as instantly listenable/sing-alongable with as In Between Dreams. The album's high popularity in the UK is deserved but a couple of tunes would benefit from and be more memorable with more substantial percussion support and some island-evocative sounds - a la Clapton or Brian Wilson. This is a difficult music genre - island/surfing? but Jack Johnson definitely is a premier practioner of his art. Free Music Review: It goes on

Excellent addition to the collection. Nothing necessarily "new", but it keeps in touch with the familiar JJ styles and gives a variety of moods to deal with.Free Music Review: Another great album

First, I must say thank you to Allison, a sweet, lovely girl whom I met recently that suggested I give this album a listen. I even asked "Who is Jack Johnson?" He's definitely an artist by all defintions and one with plenty of soul and passion that can be felt through the rhythm of his songs as well as his ability to set poetry-like phrases to a flow of music-"I could give you promises for keeps. And I would only take them back if they became your own and you give them to me," he says in "What You Thought You Need." Some other standout tracks include the title cut, where Johnson writes with refreshing honesty as he observes the pace of society with a real time questioning of our integrity("We went beyond where we should have gone") and "If I Had Eyes," a sweet sentimental tale featuring a calypso groove and smooth jazz guitar that makes the hook too good not to enjoy. Having already occupied the #1 spot on Billboard's Album Charts for several weeks, Johnson seems to be ascending from his small but loyal following to a wider, mainstream audience, and he deserves it. I would even say a Grammy nod should take place next year because music lovers will feel like modern music has had a sort of awakening. The perfectly mellow, feel good album is just what we needed.
