Summary: At this point, it all sounds the same.
Comment: I really like Jack Johnson's music and my saying that it all sounds the same isn't a bad thing. He's very dependable in his style and tone and I often listen to his work when I'm trying to relax and have a little time to myself. He's harmless, doesn't demand too much from your senses and just seems to want to keep on grooving, doing the right thing. Those are the things that I love about J.J.'s sound.
The album was made on solar power and the producers went the extra mile with adding the track names to the cd player's LED readout. Albums that cost a lot more to make don't even do that. You can just tell that Johnson believes in what he's doing and loves why he does it. Comes through in every lyric of every song.
It's not the best album I've ever heard, but like I said, it works for what I need it for. "What You Thought You Need" is a fantastic song with an awesome rhythm guitar riff. I recommend this album wholeheartedly but Jackson is an acquired taste. Give him a chance and you might just acquire a taste.

Summary: Creative Songwriter
Comment: I have liked Jack Johnson for awhile and am enjoying this CD as much as the others he has released in the past.
He is a good blend of songwriter with interesting style of guitar playing and is one of the consumate singer/songwriters around right now with a blend of surf/acoustic material. When I had heard there was going to be a change up on this record from the past I was hoping it was not going to be a radical change for change sake and lose what I like about him. Fortunately he is still the same.

Summary: Just Love Jack Johnson
Comment: I have purchased several of Jack Johnson's CDs through Amazon.com and really enjoy listening to his music. When traveling, my husband is always looking for and playing one of these CDs.

Summary: A lovely Album
Comment: Filled with soothing and relaxing tunes. He will always be in my top ten of singer-songwriters...with his beautiful voice. However, there is a sameness to his music....one of the reasons I follow a new emerging SS Arrica Rose who truly takes risks in her latest album, La La Lost with a variety a musical styles...lyrics that are quirky but with depth and insight...each song... more powerful than the other.

Summary: Great Tunes
Comment: I love this CD and so does my 3-year old daughter. She loves "If I had Eyes" and she makes me play it over and over. I really like all of the tunes - an overall solid recording. Although, I do have to say that I liked Jack's last CD a little better.

My friends and I have just finished recording a new album called Sleep Through the Static. At this point in my life I weigh about 190 lbs and my ear hairs are getting longer. I also have a couple of kids. My wife popped them out, but I helped. Some of the songs on this album are about making babies. Some of the songs are about raising them. Some of the songs are about the world that these children will grow up in; a world of war and love, and hate, and time and space. Some of the songs are about saying goodbye to people I love and will miss.
We recorded the songs onto analog tape machines powered by the sun in Hawaii and Los Angeles. One day, JP Plunier walked into the studio and told us, "It has been 4 to 6 feet and glassy for long enough," and so we gave him a variety of wind and rain as well as sun and so on. And Robert Carranza helped to put it all in the right places.
After inviting Zach Gill to join Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski, and myself on our last world tour, we decided to make him an official member of our gang. So our gang now has a piano player, which probably makes us much less intimidating, but Merlo, our bass player, is 6'3" so we are still confident.
All of these songs have been on my mind for a while and it is nice to share them. I am continually grateful to my wife who is typing this letter as I dictate it to her.
I hope you enjoy this album.
Mahalo for listening,
Jack Johnson
