Summary:
If I recall his albums correctly, my favorite Jack Johnson album is In Between Dreams. Compared to that album, this album would just be average. However, I like the general familiar, relaxing tone of Jack Johnson's music. In particular, it continues to be a source of inspiration to my own music. In any case, I would say I enjoy the album as a cohesive whole in part due to a prior familiarity with his music. Furthermore, while Jack Johnson has released a variety of sounds across his albums, this particular album is similar to his core sound. I would remark that this album could easily become an album that receives a rating lower than the number of times I might end up listening to it (e.g., the equivalent of that comedy movie which you rated 6 out of 10 but watch once a month).

Overall Rating: 4.0/5
Favorite Song: "Love Song #16"
