Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Jack Johnson's 5th studio album has been highly anticipated, not only because it's been a while since his last recording (In Between Dreams), but also because it's his first 'electric' (as in guitar) album. But despite being co-produced by JP Plunier--the man that produces Ben Harper and the mastermind behind Brushfire Fairytales–-specifically to shake things up, Sleep Through the Static isn't that much of a departure after all. The mix of mellow sing-a-longs and slacker ballads are very much in line with earlier work, even if they do feel a little more mature and come with piano flourishes by new band member Zach Gill. The new maturity is evident not only in Johnson's lyrics, which deal with everything from his new life as a father to the Iraq war, but also from the song arrangements, which foreswear the bigger hooks of previous albums for a more even flow. If that sounds like the album fails to push the envelope musically, it should. The songs here are consistently good, but they're not groundbreaking. It might feel to some like an opportunity missed; but on the other hand Sleep Through The Static is full of what Johnson does best: easy-going campfire songs infused with that eternal stoner-slacker spirit. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description

'Sleep Through The Static' is the fifth album from former pro-surfer, filmmaker and singer songwriter Jack Johnson. Recorded in LA's Solar Powered Plastic Plant the album sees Johnson stick to his signature laidback rock sound while picking up the electric guitar in favour of his acoustic which hasdominated his previous recordings. The single 'If I Had Eyes' is also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let The Voice Play, 7 Feb 2008
By Angel Delta (Southsea Hants) - See all my reviews
  
With his first four albums selling more than 15 million copies, Jack Johnson is clearly doing something right for a lot of people out there. So, is this album more of the same?

I suppose it depends on how deeply you listen to the lyrics. From a sense of the overwhelming responsibilities of bringing kids into the modern world, to the anti war stance of the title track, to questioning the purpose of his own life, there is certainly a more philosophical side to this release. In contrast, there is a gorgeous love song to his wife and a reflective ode to his young children.

Ultimately, it doesn't particularly matter what the lyrics are about. Jack delivers what he does best: a laid back, smooth and melodic voice singing with jazz, pop, reggae and even rap inflexions backed by a tight and restrained band that lets the voice take centre stage.

Producer, J P Plumier, knows what's important: let Jack write some good songs and let the voice play.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not one for oldskool JJ fans, 7 Mar 2008
By R. McCardle (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got hooked on Jack Johnson back when he was releasing poppy slices of summery happiness on Brushfire Fairytales and On & On. He's released quality tunes of a similar ilk ever since, so I didn't feel the need to listen to this album before buying it. I wish I had...

Whilst not bad in itself (his songwriting skills are undoubtedly awesome, although not to my taste this time), the album is filled with slow, depressingly melancholy stuff, which wouldn't be out of place on a Norah Jones or Katie Melua cd. If you're into stuff like that, and you're looking for a way into JJ's stuff, then this is perhaps the album for you. For everyone who's expecting a fun-filled album like his past stuff - avoid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and Calming, 18 Feb 2008
You know what you are going to get with Jack Johnson and I think that is a major part of the appeal. The songs are so lilting and relax the soul to take you under that palm tree by the lapping waves wherever in the world you might be. The first two thirds of 'Sleep Through The Static' is up there with Jack's best work although I'm currently finding the end of the album a little too slow (and sad) it may grow on me with time. All in all though I would recommend this album.
