Customer reviews


« Excellent music, perhaps not quite as tonal and involving as his previous titles »
I like this music, that's all there is to it. With that said, I found a lot of his earlier music to be much more emotional and engaging. This title had the right words, but didn't seem to have the quiet passion of his earlier work. Maybe it was just the noise level; the volume and intensity of sound on this CD is mostly constant, which relegates it to background noise more sing-a-long (at least in my car).

I still like it.

« COMPRESSION ! »
I'm a JJ fan boy and like or love all of his music. This is however a very poorly mastered and compressed album. Not until the third song do you start to hear the texture of Jack's voice. Throw on his first album after listening to this one and you will see what I mean. Compressed and in your face with little of the emotion that is present in the previous work. This one is getting traded ... Sorry buddy !

« Pleasant Yet Insipid »
I heard this here and there, and thought I'd buy the album. It's pretty okay, and I enjoyed it for a bit and then realized it is actually completely lacking depth. Jack Johnson does not seem to have the capacity for any sort of angst - he has one mood, like some sort of happy go lucky robot. Probably good for some settings, I don't know - playing at a pool party where the guests are all 21 year olds in some nether region between hippies and preps. But in some ways, it's sort of good. Sometimes I like it a lot, other times I cringe at the thought. The instrumentation and production is well done. I don't really understand.

« Same stuff that still blws. »
Jack Johnson blws.
This is music for Art or Film majors at UNCW to play on their acoustic guitar to try and pick up women. You can't get any more lame and desperate than that.
Enjoy listening to this guy while his music is being played at the *2010 Little League World Series* along with the Jonas Brothers!

I used to somewhat enjoy a few songs off his 1st album. I really did. It was somewhat new and catchy. That was when I was 19 and a Sophomore in college and used to get high. It's just super lame now to come across people who are like 25 and 26 that solely want to buy a ticket to a Jack Johnson show just to go get high in the lawn. And then on top of that, I'll ask these same people, "So are you a big JJ fan?" And they're like "Nah, not really, I'm not a 'JJ Fanatic' persay, his music is just real CHILL. I mean, it's CHILL man. It's CHILL music. It's like sitting at the beach and smoking pot. It's so CHILL. How can you not like CHILL man?"

How about this: CAN your Latest Jack Johnson CD, Go pick up a TOKYO POLICE CLUB album, and never use the word "CHILL" in your vocabulary ever ever again.

« "From The Clouds". »
This is a great new CD release "To The Sea", even better as a follow-up to the 2008 release "Sleep Through The Static" by the talented Jack Johnson. The tracks:
1."You And Your Heart" - great opening track, typical Jack Johnson sound (rated 4 stars).
2."To The Sea" - great song & title track (rated 4 stars).
3."Not Good With Faces" - solid track (rated 5 stars).
4."At Or With Me" - great up tempo track (rated 4 stars).
5."When I Look Up" - solid track (rated 5 stars).
6."From The Clouds" - excellent track with a great guitar melody & sound,my favourite from this CD "To The Sea", hence the title of my review (rated 5 stars).
7."My Little Girl" - solid laid back track (rated 5 stars).
8."Turn Your Love" - wonderful track with a beautiful melody & guitar (rated 5 stars).
9."The Upsetter" - (rated 4 stars).
10."Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology" - a good jazzy track (rated 3 stars).
11."Pictures Of People Taking Pictures" - solid track (rated 5 stars).
12."Anything But The Truth" - another good track (rated 4 stars).
13."Only The Ocean" - a good closing track, keyboard predominant laid back track (rated 3 stars).

Overall rating of this album is 4 stars, well deserved by this wonderful CD "To The Sea", by the talented Jack Johnson, a highly recommended listening.
