This album just proves that chilled out acoustic musicians are very very under-rated. Jack Johnson is one of the most talented people in the world of music. All his songs have laid back and make you smile every second you listen to it.
Top Songs: Better Together, Banana Pancakes and Breakdown
I highly recomend this album for people who just wholey LOVE music :)
Jack Johnson is a great artist and in my opinion this is his best album so far. There are some brilliant songs such as "Better Together", "Do You Remember", "Banana Pancakes", "Good People" and "Staple It Together." The rest of the songs are good also, as part of easy listening.
good stuff, good songs, i'm a fan, sure. and i would love to see him perform live but he doesn't seem to know where belgium is!
but if you know his former albums you'll miss something: the sparkle is not as sparkling anymore. maybe because the undertone of this album is more melancholic? and the other ones had a little more of that very nice naivity in it, accompanied by a very simple riff or melody, that thing that makes you say: yes, it's like that. you feel it too? and then you simply continue to sing along...
I first heard "Better Together" when I was on hot, sunny holiday driving to the beach, and knew I just had to get the album. It's great for chilling out and relaxing to, even if its a cold and frosty day. Its easy listening to and certainly gets you singing along to it. The thing that makes this album truly stand out is the amazing vocals and acoustics. At this price it's a definite buy!
if im being honest i never really heard of jack johnson before this album came out, but i really rate him as an artist, you can really tell from his songwriting that he truly loves life and looks on the bright side of everything. a great album to listen to when your chilling in your house or lying in your bed. such a relaxed album, brilliant.
Unknown to somepeople, This is Actually Jack Johnsons third album, and by far the most commercial, and it is understandable why it has become so popular. Full of feel good summer tunes it brightens up even the darkest of days. 2 of Jack's Biggest hits are included on this album, "Better Together" and "Good People" This is a great CD to have on in the car or on at a party. Some people say it all sounds the same, but in my opinion it is all sounds the same because it all sounds great! I would highly recomend adding this to your cd collection..
