Summary: A Terrific Artist
Comment: I've never listened to Jack Johnson before, I had never heard a single song by the guy. This album was lent to me by a friend and I have to say...It's awesome. If you haven't heard it already, you need to find a way to aquire it. Every song is good and perfectly displays how talented this guy is. Every single solitary song on here is worth of an A.
His lyrics are smart, he's got a soothing voice and he's a great guitar player. He's like a reborn James Taylor. The tracks are:
1. Inaudible Melodies
2. Middle Man
3. Posters
4. Sexy Plexi
5. Flake
6. Bubble Toes
7. Fortunate Fool
8. The News
9. Drink the Water
10. Mudfootball
11. F-Stop Blues
12. Losing Hope
13. It's All Understood
I've pretty much summed up every thing I need to say about each track, but I'll add a couple comments. First, the best song on the album is "Flake". "Fortunate Fool" has great music to it. And "The News" has some really good/deep lyrics.
GRADE: A

Summary: Who's The DJ??
Comment: This album can only be described as the feeble roaster. Which means that it is the whole platter! I got into this when I was down with the whole construction thing. I mean like, cabinets are cool and everything, but I was in it to win it! Back when I was in a speed-rap group called the OFC (which was me (CIRCLE), JMak (POWER), and Chucwick (CIG), we had a hit called "Fool, I just broke you off so fierce you didn't have time to race the rooster." That was totally siccmade. Anyway Jack Johnson was a real big inspiration to the OFC. We had a cd that sold real big in the hood called "Fool, buy this cd or you wil be broken off in the worst way while I make a new boat for myself." This album made sure that we were famous for days and we were just swimming in chicks. In fact, one time we were in a room and we ended up on the ceiling because there were so many girls there singin our song "Fool, I broke you off that means you're a turnip." To sum this all up, you might not be as bad as OFC, but you can still try and buy this album of Jack's.

Summary: No fire here
Comment: Wasn't a great CD. Not bad either. Have to be in the mood to listen to it. It's not one you would put in the player to just kick back and listen to.

Editorial Reviews:

Fans of Willy Porter, Ben Harper, and G. Love will all want to check out Jack Johnson's engaging folk- and blues-inflected pop. Born in Oahu, Hawaii, Johnson, a former surfer and film-school graduate, has a knack for acoustic ballads whose calm surfaces hide a subtle but strong lyrical undertow. "It seems to me that 'maybe' pretty much always means 'no,'" sings Johnson on "Flake," which features crony Harper on slide guitar. Production by J.P. Plunier (who also handles Harper's recordings) is simple and uncluttered: acoustic guitar and drum tracks share the foreground with Johnson's easygoing vocals, which evoke everyone from G. Love (who recorded Johnson's "Rodeo Clowns" on his Philadelphonic album) to Nick Drake to Willy Porter. And while Johnson may not have Porter's guitar chops, these songs have a relaxed beauty and understated depth that reward repeated listening. --Bill Forman
