Binding: LP RecordBrand: Big Decibel EAN: 0075678993954 Format: Enhanced Label: Atlantic / Wea Manufacturer: Atlantic / Wea MPN: 448508 Publisher: Atlantic / Wea Release Date: May 13, 2008 Studio: Atlantic / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: Since 2002's jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Make It Mine" and "Butterfly" refer back to the catchy style of previous albums, there are many other styles and textures on display here. His duet with Colbie Caillat, "Lucky," for example, explores his folkish, acoustic side, as does the compelling "Details in the Fabric," both of which are excellent songs. Mraz gets a little more experimental on "Coyotes," which toys with a clubby electronica and strangely seems to work, and on "The Dynamo of Volition" for which he employs a hectic, rapping-style of vocal over a typically contagious rhythm. His ballads, such as "Love For A Child", "If It Kills Me" and "Beautiful Mess" (these last two saved for the end) show a more sensitive side and even when his lyrics are occasionally clumsy, Mraz manages to make his point in an emotive way. Easy-going and sunny, but with laudable elements of depth and innovation, this is Mraz at his best so far.--Danny McKenna Amazon.com: Jason Mraz's first set of all-new material in nearly three years, WE SING.

 Rating:  - Awesome CDThis whole CD is great. I'm Yours...and Lucky are the best. Def. worth your money. Rating: - New fanI heard "I'm Yours" and was instantly impressed by Jason Mraz. Bought the album and love it from start to finish. Every song is great. I LOVE THIS ALBUM! Rating: - Pure Jason, Totaly EnjoyableDon't know if I'd say best of his three but really great. By coincidence it's playing now in the background. After a month and a half it's still a once a day listen. Rating: - Love himI love Jason Mraz. What a cool style he does. Really makes you want to just chill out and enjoy life while listening to him. He has a really pleasant voice and just a fabulous overall sound and rhythm. Rating: - We Sing, We Dance, etc - GREAT ALBUM!I bought this album based on the strength of I'm Yours, the 2nd track. However, I've fallen in love with the entire thing... some of the songs are sweet, some are sad, some are thought-provoking, some are just plain sexy! I've been listening each day and the album keeps growing on me. I especially appreciate Mraz's positive outlook on life ("I guess it's again my turn to win some and learn some..." - from I'm Yours). Buy the whole album, not just 1 or 2 tracks. You won't regret it! |
