Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Jack Johnson recorded his fourth album using nothing but solar power. This is somehow fitting for a singer-songwriter, surfer, and filmmaker who spends most of his days floating in the ocean under Hawaii's open skies. The forces of nature certainly seem to have found their way into the mellow grooves of standout tracks like "What You Thought You Need," "Adrift," and "Go On," songs so lovely and effortless that you can almost hear the melodies coming to Johnson on a warm breeze that rustles through the coconut trees. Sleep Through the Static documents his best work to date, even better than the Curious George soundtrack. The sedate singer transforms the acoustic campfire strums of the past into sublime, soulful ruminations on his wife, kids, and the state of the world. He even manages to conjure up some real anger on the title track, which is hardly diminished by its lavish grooves and glistening harmonies. --Aidin Vaziri Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Another Great AlbumJack Johnson's at it again with his fifth album, Sleep Through the Static. For any Jack Johnson fan this is a must have as Jack continues to come through with laid-back, feel-good songs.

While it is a good album, some of his earlier albums, namely In Between Dreams and Curious George are better in my opinion. Rating: - Jack Johnson doing what he does bestYou know what to expect when you buy an album from Jack Johnson : laid-back contemporary folk, wonderfully naive lyrics, smooth vocals and low-key production. "Sleep through the static" won't disappoint the longtime fans who can't get enough of this unique and peculiar talent; and apparently there are many of them, since the album debuted at # 1 in many countries. The album strolls along casually, each song perfectly blending into the next, creating a warm and relaxing listening experience. Jack's voice is as soothing as ever, and the entire album is reflexive and perfectly suited to these last winter days. Highlights include "Monsoon", the first single "If I had eyes", "Angel", the catchy "Hope" (which could have been included ... Read More: Rating: - Summery and addictive."Sleep Through The Static" is the fifth studio album from Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson and it is the follow up to his hugely successful "In Between Dreams" album. The singer songwriter that brought you famous songs "Taylor", "Upside Down" and "Breakdown" returns with a very much anticipated fifth album in which his son, Moe, contributed on songwriting for the chorus. Rumor has it that most of his inspiration for his new album came from his family as well as "the world that they will grow up in". This album offers great tracks like "Angel", "While We wait", "Same Girl", "Adrift", "Home", "Hope", "What You Thought You Needed" with his signature laidback sound. Musically (the speed going from slow to fairly slow) ... Read More: |
