Pros: pleasant, laid-back acoustic pop
Cons: it's the same album that Johnson already released twice in the last few years
Summary: Bring up the name Jack Johnson and it's impossible not to find yourself meandering over to the phrase "laid-back." Sure, other artists have taken a relaxed approached to some of their recordings, but no one else has built their entire oeuvre so narrowly ...

Pros: interesting, catchy, relaxing
Cons: none
Summary: I first started listening to Jack Johnson when I was probably fifteen years old, and still listen to him as much as I did when I first discovered his great music. In Between Dreams is definitely my favorite album of his, because it reminds me of a ...

Pros: Soothing, relaxing, complete album.
Cons: I have to be in the mood, could be different for you.
Summary: Honestly, I wish that I could give you all this background about Jack Johnson and his discography, but I have no idea. All I have heard about Jack is that he is an amazing surfer. This is the only CD of his that I own, so I guess all I can do is tell ...

Pros: Wonderful songs, Johnson's vocals, well-written lyrics...
Cons: ...a few filler tracks, may be too mellow for some
Summary: Jack Johnson's name has often come up in conversations about music among my friends and me. I had never heard any of his music in the past, and my friends would often tell me, knowing my music taste (namely my love for artists like John ...

Pros: Solid to boot, many highs
Cons: You can still want someone less repetitive and tamed...
Summary: While the contenders on JACK JOHNSON's niche - Folk singer-songwriter - get increasingly intrincate and "sophisticated" as the years go by, the Hawaiian citizen is content to rest on his simple laurels. Unadorned acoustic melodies of his ...

Pros: Great beach music for the mellow one who likes introspective lyrics
Cons: Lots of the same thing, over and over
Summary: If you like Jack Johnson and his cool, calm vibe, you'll like this album. Music perfect for sitting on a beach chair and watching the waves crash in. Unfortunately, he's released three studio albums and several soundtracks now, and he's failed to come ...

Pros: Quite a few amazing tracks, very emotional, incredible songwriting, incredible lyrics
Cons: Two weaker tracks...
Summary: You may blame Jack Johnson for making the same sounding music for 3 albums, but aren't we losing sight of what being a musician is all about? Making great music? Well, that's exactly what he does here. If Johnson doesn't expirement musically it's okay ...

Cons: Not much change in tone
Summary: Everybody has those days in their life when they don't want to do much of anything. Maybe you've had a bad week, or things just haven't gone the way that you'd like them to. Whatever the case may be, it just seems like a good day to do nothing. And ...

Pros: Relaxing, mellow, intoxicating, great lyrics, smooth guitar playing.
Cons: May be too mellow for some, much of it tends to sound same-ish.
Summary: The great thing about the guitar is that it can be as much of a rhythmic instrument as it can be a melodic one. Throw in a few slaps along with your strums and you practically don't even need a band! The guitar is an instrument with so much to say. ...

Pros: More upbeat than ever before...
Cons: Simple chords... nothing's perfect.
Summary: Most of my reviews begin with a catchy cliché, but it seems Jack Johnson’s “In Between Dreams” is chalk full of such literacy. So why bother… Since the release of J.J.’s billboard invasion, ...

Pros: A long, cool breeze as opposed to a quick blast of wind.
Cons: Mellow doesn't last forever, folks.
Summary: Remember those York Peppermint Patty commercials from back in the day? "When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty, I feel like I'm transported back into the ice age, and I'm sledding with dinosaurs!" Or something like that. Jack Johnson is ...

Pros: Sunny Sweet Melodies
Cons: None.
Summary: The year was 2001 and coming across the alternative and Triple A radio airwaves was an acoustic track with heavy bass and a melody that pervaded the listener's mind so much that you couldn't get the song out of your head. Jack Johnson was the ...
