Jason Mraz - Waiting for My Rocket to Come [2002]
Pop December 31st, 2007
Review by J. S. Kaczmarek “jskazzy”
Taken on its own merits, this is a great album. It’s energetic and exciting, it switches styles without seeming disjointed, and it exhibits the skills of a fantastic new vocalist and songwriter. “The Remedy”, overplayed on every Boston station by now, really has a fantastic hook and a strong melodic line. “You and I Both” is a dizzying vocal effort, and other tracks standout as well — “Sleep All Day”, “No Stopping Us”, have a great good-time feel and amazing vocals. The lyrics could be stronger, but they are still compelling.
However, there is a caveat - unbelieveable as it may seem, I know that Jason can do better. I’ve seen two live shows, and while I was happy with this album, i was BLOWN AWAY by his live shows. He has such command and presence, such a powerful and creative voice, and some fantastic musical and instrumental ideas. Unfortunately, the record label packaged all of his songs into the pop/rock mold and out came “Waiting For My Rocket To Come”. If Jason gets enough respect and recognition to be able to produce professional recorded music on his own terms, then we will be in for a real treat.
