Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, the Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. "What will be will be / And so it goes" he sings on "Times Like These," the opening track. Thankfully, Johnson is never too mellow, and there's a "Don't worry, be happy" vibe to most of his music. "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" even has a pseudo-reggae feel to it. Although classified as an alternative musician, the singer-songwriter's compositions owe much to past hits. "Traffic in the Sky" is reminiscent of Jim Croce's "Operator" and Looking Glass's one-hit-wonder, "Brandy." On the splendid "Taylor," Johnson sounds an awful lot like Donovan. And "By The Way" recalls the Lovin' Spoonful. -- Bill Holdship

Rating: - My favorite Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson has become one of my favorite artists.Perhaps it's my mellowing with age, but I find his music bothcalms and cheers me up. I enjoy music that I can sing along with- at least a little bit and after a couple of listens to his CDs I usually can.

If you're someone who needs deep meaning in your music or artists that are obviously troubled, then Jack Johnson is probably not for you. However, if you want a CD that you can throw in and leave in for a while, I think he's the ... Read More
Rating: - I love Jack Johnson!
I love Jack Johnson! I have all of his cd's but this one is my favorite one! I especially like "times like these" and "taylor"

This is definitely a cd you'll want to listen to over and over again!
Rating: - I've got em all- This is the one.
From a very big Jack Johnson fan who owns every one of his albums, this is the one I would most hate to lose. Music is too subjective for me to give meaningful descriptions of the songs, but suffice to say, if you like Jack's music, you'll love this album.
Rating: - Just what I was looking for
I already own In Between Dreams and love it.Before buying this album, I read all the reviews and now that I've listened to it, I have to agree with the critical reviews - most of the songs sound very similar to one another as well as to his other works.But that's what I wanted.I don't buy Jack Johnson to be wowed by the variety and breadth of his musicianship, I buy it because it's mellow, chill music, perfect for a rainy Sunday morning or an evening stroll.So if you're looking for that, you'll ...
