In Between Dreams - Music Review
Review by schectergitarrguyy

Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: In Between Dreams
Record Label: Brushfire Records
This is a very different type of music than my last CD review. I may be a metalhead, but you gotta appreciate the slower, more laid-back stuff as well. The only genre I can think of to put Jack's music in is either Lite or Island Rock, because some of his songs have a kind of islandy feel. Lyrically, he writes about everything from just sleeping in on a rainy day, or how humans are clueless to the world and are lost in their own way, and everything in between.
Guitar Style:
It's mainly acoustic guitar throughout the whole album, but there is some electric. Some songs have an almost swung feel, others are just so melodic and happy sounding that you cant resist dancing. Sometimes he's incorporates an island feel, other times you can tell its more of a Rock feel. The Vocals pretty much follow the set style of the song, but he's a good singer.
Guitar and vocals done by Jack Johnson.
Guitar and Vocal Style Rating: 10/10
Bass Style:
Its not always heard, but when it is its unmistakeable what it is. It's always got the same type of vibe as the guitar does, even if it's playing a completly different part.
Bass done by Merlo Podlewski.
Bass Style: 10/10
Drum Style:
It's again the same style as guitar, but i like the drumming because Adam Topol does some damn good work on the drums and additional percussion such as bongos as well.
