I do like Jack Johnson a lot, but I don't think this album is that great. There are some good songs like "All At Once" , "Monsoon" and "If I Had Eyes", but the rest are very chilled out and a bit too slow for my liking. I would say it's good as background music.
In my opinion, his "In Between Dreams" was a lot better!
I am a fan of good old Jack Johnson. Loved his previous album, and when this one surfaced I purchased it straight away and low and behold its good. Its normal Jack, he didn't change or re-invent himself, he simply stuck with what he does best. Now some people would critisize him but I think she is truly talented & atleast u know exactly what your buying. Love tracks: If you had eyes & Alone.
Although there are a couple of good songs is this album its not his best work and I would argue that he wouldn't have become so successful if this was his usual standard.
However, saying this his usual standard is way beyond a lot of other artists.
If you have all his other albums then its an understandable purchase. However, if your not that familiar with Jack Johnson or don't have much of his work then pick up copies of In Between Dreams and Brushfire Faiytales first. They are simply magnificant!
Well it's been a long time coming but Jack is finally back with once again a masterpiece for our ears, heart & soul. A musical genius who continues to stay true to himself through his music & lyrics and still manages to push the boundaries by using solar energy to do it! It's difficult for me to pick a favourite song but if I had to it would be "They do, They don't" which is very true to our current society & our continued ignorance...
I hope you get to enjoy this album as much as I do.
