All about the Wordplay, All about the Sound

byDrFaustus Feb 15, 2003
80 Helpfuls 81 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Several great songs that tweak the traditional acoustic pop vocal trend
Cons Some of the songs are rather formulaic and derivative
Recommended it? Yes

As we stumble our way through these early years of the new millennium, it's still an awfully big challenge to nail down exactly which musical trends are taking the reins for tomorrow's world of popular music. So many musical trends have jumped into the spotlight, only to shrivel and waste away in... Read full review »

Pros Smile!
Cons Frown.
Recommended it? Yes

Who says there's nothing worthwhile to be found on pop radio?

I'll be the first to admit, I can be an indie snob from time to time, finding the most obscure little treasures that nobody (OK, almost nobody) would ever buy and spending paragraphs detailing each and every thing that makes... Read full review »

Pros Simple sound, great replay value. Great wordplay. Serious talent waiting to be discovered.
Cons Hey, nobody's perfect.
Recommended it? Yes

The music world has been trying to fuse rap and rock for the longest time now. Throwing rappers into rock bands (and vice versa) and letting them shoot the bull. Then we've had rappers that did everything from bust rhymes over radio friendly melodies to borrow Aerosmith samples. We've even seen a... Read full review »

I'll Do Anything To Get You To Buy This Record....Except Get Naked...Well....On Second Thought....

Pros great wordplay, vocals are extremely soulful, a worthy opponent for Mayer
Cons boring at times, can be considered goofy
Recommended it? Yes

It seems that, nowadays, putting the phrase "soulful singer-songwriter-guitar player" in anyone's artist bio is sure to make them stand out. Like anything else in the industry, there's a set way of doing things and screw everyone who actually tries to break the mold. While there's a spare few who... Read full review »

This is a strange enough new play on words.

Pros Quick and clever wordplay, amusing blend of genres.
Cons Production and pacing could be slightly better; a few immature lyrics.
Recommended it? Yes

"Who is this Jason Marz guy??!!"

That was my first reaction upon seeing the name Jason Mraz mentioned repeatedly in connection with other modern-day, acoustic guitar slinging singer/songwriters such as Dave Matthews and John Mayer. Perhaps it was the weird surname that was giving me a... Read full review »

Pros The lyrics are great and Jason's voice is unique.
Cons I'm only fourteen - damn those statutory rape laws!
Recommended it? Yes

The Main Idea:
In late 2002, singer/songwriter Jason Mraz released his cleverly titled debut record, Waiting For My Rocket To Come, to little fanfare. However, with the success of the first single the following year, Mr. Mraz found himself on top of the music world with his even more clever... Read full review »

"Rocket"-ing Straight To The Top: Jason Mraz

39 Helpfuls 40 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great lyricist, awesome vocalist, kinda funny in a geeky kinda way.
Cons Sound at times, is too similar to John Mayer.
Recommended it? Yes

Jason Mraz is the latest entry into the male singer-songwriter sweepstakes, following in the footsteps of current torch bearer/hearttrob/Grammy winner John Mayer. A Virginian who cut his teeth in NYC, Jason's witty lyrics, nimble guitar playing, stage presence and overall look bear extreme... Read full review »

The Remedy Is The Experience

Pros A good mix of pop, rock and jazz
Cons A couple of fillers but they arent exactly bad songs
Recommended it? Yes

One of the surprise inclusions on my top 10 albums was young up and coming singer songwriter Jason Mraz. The surprise package came through listening to Virgin radio, the various acts they play on there that seem to have a good sound and worth checking out. Along with Mraz I've also found Damien...

Pros Clever and well-written lyrics, catchy songs and beautiful ballads, Mraz's talent...
Cons ...a few mediocre tracks, Mraz still has room to grow (read review)
Recommended it? Yes

I can't remember exactly where I was in 2002 when I first heard The Remedy (I Won't Worry) playing on the radio, but I specifically remember taking note of the song and immediately liking it. Soon after, I learned that the upbeat single was a product of Jason Mraz, a fresh face in the... Read full review »

Pros His lyrics, his voice, his melodies, his musicianship.
Cons Some people might think that he's trying to be too clever.
Recommended it? Yes

There has been a massive movement the last couple of years for the sensitive, slightly dorky but cute as a button musicians. All though a lot of talented musicians have come from this "nice guy's finish first" movement, to me the most enjoyable has to be Jason Mraz. Mraz draws on his sensitive yet... Read full review »
