«Good When The Mood Hits»
The fact that this guy would probably be a hit with John Mayer fans is a blow to this guy, since John Mayer is easily one of the worst hacks making music (no, muzak) today. I was hinted to call this guy a slightly more interesting John Mayer with an acoustic guitar. Sure, it's not deep music, it won't start anything, but it's breezy, chill music (not muzak, thank god). It's definitely worth getting.
The sound of Jack Johnson is a good one, it will definitely relax you. It's a very chill album, but it's soothing and makes you feel good, than rather making you feel drowsy, bored, and wanting to rip your hair out. Jack Johnson plays smooth, sharp, refreshing melodies on the guitar, and his very cool voice floats together. The rhythm section really makes it come to life, catchy, groovy, it gives it a great flavor. The percussion makes it even better. It's got great sense of chemistry, there is no arguing with that.
Yeah, it's not great, but good stuff to listen to. I definitely can't recommend this album to everybody, especially since this kind of stuff is probably a fratboy favorite (ugh). No matter, it's still worth listening to.
7/10

«great easy listening»
Been a Jack Johnson fan for a few years now, his stuff is great. Makes you want to kick back on the beach with a chair, an umbrella, and possibly an adult beverage and let the worries of the world slip away!

«Great Guitar + Great Singer = Pure Music»
This album was way good, in fact ALL Jack Johnson music is way good. He makes some great mellow/lazy surf rockin' music. Although, this album wasn't as good as his other three. But it still was rockin' and that's the point. Anybody who plays the guitar will like Jack Johnson's music.
Taylor had the coolest into i have ever heard!
I also enjoyed Holes to Heaven because it had the same tune as Jack Johnson's previous soundtrack hit, Moonshine.
And one last thing, Jack Johnson is NOT a knock off of the Dave Matthews Band!!
