I’m a Curbside Prophet
I know that this CD has been out for awhile but I finally got around to listening to it. I really really wasn’t too excited about hearing this album because I hated the first single, The Remedy. If you haven’t guessed by now I’m talking about Jason Mraz - Waiting for My Rocket to Come. I really liked the next single, You and I Both, and bought the song off iTunes. I finally got to get the whole album and when I listened to it I was totally surprised. The songs were often cheery and Sublime reggaeish type songs, but then there was the more serious slow type songs. These are the songs that I am really hooked on, namely the song Absolutely Zero.. This song is absolutely amazing. It is slow and his voice in this song is high quality to say the least. I put this song on repeat for about 2 hours of my day. There are some other really good slow songs especially The Boy’s Gone. His lyrics are sometimes cheesey just like in the Remedy but other times they are insightful and creative.
I would recommend this album to any “pop” genre fans and also to the more “folksy” crowd. I give this album 4.8 out of 5 stars. I would have given it 5 stars but I really really dislike the Remedy.
