Yeah, and do you see that there is a hole right in the middle of that tree? That must have hurt.
Honestly, I find Jack Johnson to be one of the few artists I have a negative physical reaction to. Like I start feeling kind of ill and I'll at ease and like I have to leave the room. That mostly has to do with the fact that all of my friends at work when I was 18 and 19 loved him and listened to his music constantly. I was battered by the sound of JJ's "laid back" and "mild, nonchalant and soothing" music and voice for like 10 hours a week at work. It drove me nuts. And everyone in the office thought he was really great and lovely and deep. They all had boners for the fucking bore and I had no idea why.
Anyway, the music itself and as itself is nothing too offensive. His voice in small doses is nothing too offensive. But in large quantities it has been known to kill people's vitality and interest in life.
Jack Johnson's not someone I'd want to binge on, by any means, but I like him in little doses (outside of the whole Curious George soundtrack, really). He's done some good stuff, and he's great live. Apparently he's playing the Monterey Bay Aquarium and giving a speech with a family friend of ours' there but I'm out of town that day ... UGH. _________________
I listened to about half of this last night before kissing the night farewell, and didn't plan on finishing it until later today, but my School's internet is being spotty so The Times They Are A-Changin' will have to wait.
I'm loving the feeling of this album, it's so laid-back, it's so witty, it's so comforting!

To CubaZed, SuedeSwede, and Goodsir, this album was decent. Not much more, background music for my IDM desire. I'd rather listen Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, or really any artist in that vein. It was extremely monotonous, but good. I'll check out other releases.
Baths! I love Cerulean, but not Obsidian. His last record was good, but towards the end, the style felt tired. This EP fixes all of that. Perhaps that is due to the 20 minute duration, or the acoustic guitar, but this effort is wonderful, just below Cerulean on my list. The title goes well with the EP too, for that when I'm listening to this, I feel like I'm at the bottom of an ocean.

Hello! This album surprised me, arguably the most out of everything that I've listened to this week. This album isn't too heavy, it's not too frightening, and it's not too lengthy. This reminds me of the first time that I ever listened to The Decemberists' The Crane Wife with it's lengthier, eye-opening tracks. I really get a desert vibe from listening to this, akin to Queens Of The Stone Age's Songs For The Deaf. In brief, I loved this album and it's now on my chart!

I'm on a journey to finish BEA's Top 1000, and this is one of the albums that I was looking forward to the most as I remembered that Swedenman said something about having a shirt of the album art of this album.
This album is noisy, perhaps too noisy at times, but it's fun! The short track lengths work extremely well with the loud instrumentation that's paired with Dopethrone-esque vocals. I liked it as a whole.
