| Jason Mraz Waiting For My Rocket To Come |
| This is kind of a guilty pleasure for me but, I've got to give Jason Mraz props. He's a talented dude. His songwriting is strong and consistent, he does a solid job on the guitar and vocally, he's one of the best male singers today. While tihs is mostly a pop album, some songs have tinges of country, rap, reggae and jam to them. Highlight track "Waiting For My Rocket To Come" features Mraz rapping/singing over a funky beat with some nice banjo playing. "On Love, In Sadness" also borders on country and has some excellent lyrics. Overall, a great debut from a talented young man. |

| Minus the Bear Acoustics |
| Minus The Bear's acoustic album offers a short, sweet and pleasant listen. Songs like "We Are Not A Football Team", "Knights", and "Pachuca Sunrise" all translate well onto acoustic guitars and slower drums. New song "Guns and Ammo" is another pleasant listen but doesn't bring anything too new to the table. Only complaint is Jake Snider's vocals fall flat towards the end on songs like "Burying Luck" and "Ice Monster". Overall a nice, short album. |

| Slightly Stoopid Closer To The Sun |
| "Closer To The Sun" is a solid release and that's about it. While Slightly Stoopid does pump out some great, catchy tunes, and solid guitar work, the album runs too long and the songs all blend into one another after awhile. Also, singers Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald's faux-Jamaican accents become very tiring (they're from California). However there are some excellent songs on here like the fast, aggressive "Nothin Over Me" and "Righteous Man", "Bandelero" and "Babylon is Falling" which show the band's heavy reggae influence, or the jammer finale "Open Road" whose hidden track features dazzling guitar riffage. Overall, this is a great CD but nothing ground-breaking. |
