Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. Indeed, he 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 remeniscent 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

Chronique amazon.fr

Deux ans après ses débuts multi-platinés, avec l'album Brushfire Fairytales produit par J.-P Plunier, (l'alter égo de Ben Harper), Jack Johnson, offre une deuxième fournée de bonnes vibrations aux amateurs de paix et de sérénité. Comme l'ex skater Tommy Guerrero, ce natif de Hawaï ex-surfer professionnel aime les ballades mi funk, mi blues (parfois parfumées reggae "The Horizon Has Been Defeated") polies à la guitare acoustique, et enrobées d'une basse discrète et de percussions. Ses chansons nonchalantes confiées aux bons soins de Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys, Beck, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), Jack Johnson s'adonne à quelques considérations sur la guerre ("Traffic in the Sky"), le monde capitaliste ("The Horizon Has Been Defeated") et la jeunesse ("Cookie Jar"). Puis, il retourne dans son hamac face à la mer bleue. Humaniste mais pas prêcheur. --Sabrina Silamo

chilled out tunes... (2004-10-07)

Fab....the perfect album for the perfect summer....listened to this the whole time I was travelling Canada....great times!

Great CD (2004-07-06)

Jack Johnson's On And On is a great CD to just chill and listen to. Has great guitar and vocals throughout the whole CD, not just a few good songs like most. My favorites are Gone, Taylor, Holes To Heaven, and Wasting Time. Also, most of the lyrics on his songs hit deep and actually mean something. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Ben Harper, John Mayer, or OAR. They all have that mellow and laid back vibe.1. Times Like These-great song, i love the verses in the song, not a great chourus2.Horizon Has Been Defeated-great sound, not great lyrics but good to listen to3.Traffic in the Sky-one of my favorite songs on the album, I believe that many people who wanna mellow out will enjoy this.4.Taylor-great guitar, decent lyrics, one of my faves and shows a good message if you pick up the subtext5.Gone-in my opinion the best song on the CD, great lyrics and decent music6.Cupid-good song not my fav but still good7.Wasting Time-decent sound but GREAT lyrics i love how he points out "Everybody else"8.Holes to Heaven-good guitar, good lyrics, good vocals, good bass, and good percussion, all around good song9.Dreams Be Dreams-like this song because I think Jack shows your part of himself and what he is feeling10.Tomorrow Morning-starts kinda slow but still a good mellow out song11.Fall Line-again not one of my faves but still easy to listen too12.Cookie Jar-nice'n slow13.Rodeo Clowns-a little more upbeat kinda reminds me more of ben harper with a little less bongo14.Cocoon-very slow and a nice chorus15.Mediocre Bad Guys-doesnt sound like typical Jack Johnson but I love the chourus16.Symbol in my Driveway-good way to end a CD and I think its a nice song Anyone I have ever entroduced this CD to has loved it. No matter the age, sex, race, or anything everyone from my dad to some of my friends we all love it and I would reccomend it to ANYONE

the best (2004-07-02)

this cd is mello and relaxed but at the same time it is interesting and ear catching and it is great for repeated listening. it has a simplistic style that cannot be touched is is by far the greatest thing i have heard in a long time.im going to go see them in tahoe in august and i can not wait!!!

overwhelmed with overhyped and underfed lyrics (2004-07-02)

when jack johnson's audience turned the corner from cult surfing followers to AAA radio america, he didn't change anything and that, right there is a positive. regardless of genre, whenever that corner gets turned on its preverbial head, the music changes - mostly for a poppier and more horid direction. so congrats to jj for staying away from the trap. however, just because he stayed away from the trap, does not validate the critical calls of "classic!"

cries of deep lyrics are pseudo back handed. when compared to many of his contemporaries, songs like "cookie jar" may hold some weight, but overall this album still enduces those frat boy party mentalities. which, in all honesty, is the audience around the corner - doing a keg stand. it still remains that the height of lyricism remains from the hungry unknowns. if the minimalistic acoustic driven rock is your fancy and you need some lyrics worth a second thought, my you might want to check out Blue-Eyed Son's "West of Lincoln." i heard "The Tide" on a local college station and at first was appauled that his voice reminded me so much of Elliott Smith, but all was soon forgotten with the catchy hooks and wonderful melodies. i broke down and bought the CD and was happy. And if you're reading this review, you might want to think of turning another artist's corner - or at the very least, checking it out.

there are positives to say about mr. johnson. sure, you throw it on at a party and the guy pouring the shots at the ice luge might hit you with a double b/c of his fascination with this surfing/acoustic ape of an artist. but please, don't fool yourself into thinking that this is some of the greatest song writing of the last century, its not even the best over the past five years.

Jack present wisely how minimalist music can be extraordinary.
