Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

[zumbo]

I have been enjoying this music on Time Warner digital Music Choice. I decided the sound was so clean, this should be added to my collection. I looked for DVD-A, but it seems there is no DVD-A or SACD avaliable. So, I was off to the house with the cd. This is, by far, the very best sounding cd I have ever owned. My sub is working it's @$$ off. It's mostly acoustic, so the upper end is crisp and clean. The vocals are mellow and peaceful. My wife's Bose in the G35 coupe never sounded so good. I actually liked them with this cd. (ALOT )

 

[Rob Babcock]

I don't care much for it. But I loved his previous one. Go figure.

Jack Johnson is a crook. He doesn't even sing. He talks, soflty. Its the cheapest get rich quick sceme.

Before you buy another CD, Think to yourself, do they really deserve my money? Have they done anything ground breaking at all? Are they even talented?

I learned 3 jack johnson songs(guitar) in an hour. Thats Pathedic! It should take days to learn a song. I mean, his songs aren't even long! GOD, I HATE JACK JOHNSON!

Don't beat around the bush, Sheep. Tell us what you really think.

 

[rollinrocker]

Sheep, why did you learn his songs?

 

[zumbo]

ROTFLMAO

You will understand when you get older. Sound preference changes. Musical taste changes. Things calm down. It's nice to sit with the wife and enjoy peaceful mellow music.

My question is how is his music any different than any other pop artist? At least his music isn't computerized cRAP music with someone talking about their Ho over a rhythm track. If it is that easy maybe you should consider a career change??

Thanks for the suggestion Zumbo.

Just because you can learn a song in an hour doesn't mean it's a bad song. It's all in how notes are played/phrased. Some of the best music ever made is simple. Go tell B.B. King that some of his simpler blues songs suck.

Why is it so many people feel songs have to be so layered and complex ?

At least Jack writes his songs and plays an instrument. You may not like his style but at least he can sing, play, and write music.

 

[Sheep]

I used to be in a band. If I was the one making the decisions, we would not have played the songs. But, because there was more members I didn't always get my way. I even had to play an ashlee simpson song. I vomitted afterwards.

Softly talking isn't singing, and don't you ever call it that again. Strumming basic cords followed by a repeating bass line isn't playing an instrument, and don't you ever call it that again.

I know all pop songs are the same. Thats why I don't Listen/support them. I also don't listen/support rap artists.

She wouldn't be my wife if she liked jack johnson

If you guys want to hear what I listen to, I will give you a list of bands. I'm not going to try to change your mind, but I do want you to be aware of how easy it is to do what jack johnson does, and any other pop/rap star.

Would you pay full retail for BIC speakes when you can get them for cheaper? No. So why pay for music this mundane and crappy. He basically writes the sound track for purgatory.

Heres a list of bands.

Death By Stereo
Poison The Well
Thrice
Alexisonfire
The Blood Brothers
The Mars Volta
Atreyu
Killswitch Engage
My Chemical Romance
Opeth
Rage Against The Machine (Oldy, but a goody)
Underoath

Feel free to look into these bands. If you want to re buy a whole CD collection.

The youth of today. I see what my parents meant when I was a teen. You will get there sheep, it's inevitable. Oh, and good luck on finding a hot wife listening to that mess.

P.S. Rage is pretty cool. But, talk about basic, the drummer sucks. He fits the band though. Not everyone can be Neil Peart. I see you don't list TOOL. If technical is what you want, they deliver.

P.S.S. The point of this is the sound quality of the disc, not the music on it. It's perfection.

 

[Sheep]

I listen to tool too, but not often.

You would be suprised at the girls that listen to this. The one who turned me on to The Blood Brothers is quite hot. And The Blood Brothers is the hardest band I listen to.

You have to remember that Rage was at its peak in the early 90's. They were a ground breaking band, and they are so much fun to jam to (Played Killing in the name and Bombtrack in front of 1700 people )

If you buy music for sound quality, you need to be shot. Sorry, I just think thats the lamest thing I have ever heard. If I want a test CD, I will download it. Oh wait, you go to jail for that

I used to bang my head, but like I said, you will change when you get older. It happens. When I was a teen listenig to crap, all the hot girls listened to pop junk. I never, ever listened to that crap. And I don't today. And yes, I purchased this for the sound quality. And yes, I do enjoy it.

My musical taste.
Led Zeppelin/Plant, Rush, Tool, Godsmack, System of a Down, Alice in Chains/Mad Season, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Soundgarden, 311, Primus, and Sevendust to name a few.

 

[Sheep]

You should listen to Thrice, and their new album Vheissu. Its a very relaxed album, but there are moments with some vocal rage. I personally think you will like it, if you like SOAD and godsmack. The Mars Volta is another great band with no screaming at all. They just rock. They use saxophones and brass with fast guitar.

I went to the Death by Stereo site. Can't take it. Let me explain. Any music that sounds like dona,dona,dona,dona,dona,da dona, da dona, da dona dona, dona, dona, dona, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Sucks. Plain and simple. However, I do understand music that is not technical. I am a drummer, and have been for a little over twenty years. I have never played live, and probably never will. Neil Peart of Rush is my favorite. I can play ten or fifteen songs by them. But, I don't limit my music preference by the ability of the drummer.

Isn't this the reason we are here? To have better quality sound. Thats like saying you wouldn't put headers on a hot-rod to make it faster.

 

[Sheep]

Why do you think I said go look at THRICE!

Death by stereo is a hard band. And it takes more then one listen you know.

I like music for the music. If the quality is 128Kbps, so be it. Better then simple plan or ashlee simpson.

Crap. Plain and simple.

Check out Clutch.

Click on multimedia, and scroll down to audio. Have a listen.

Check out the videos on the multimedia page. Incredible.

 

[Sheep]

that website looks like alien vs predator. Crap. Plain and simple.

Did you even listen to any music on the website? You can see some of their video.

If you did listen to thrice, and didn't like them, the try the mars volta. I don't think you can preview anything on their site, it didn't work for me.

I can send you a song or two over email, as well as a really good thrice song.

[zumbo]

Yes I listened. Not my cup of tea. Check out the videos on the Clutch site. Watching for the first time myself. They remind me of Helmet.
