Music : To the Sea

Rating:

- 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.

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 !

Sometimes I ... Read More

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 ... Read More

- "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). ... Read More
