   Trite and boring. This probably would have been a mediocre album had there not been an attempt to cover a song by the White Stripes. Consequent this attempt, and Jack Johnsons miserable failure, I’d have to say this is a downright bad album. Jack Johnson sounds mechanical and as a man who lacks a soul. Over-produced and over-reaching, I try to find at least one thing redeeming in something, but in this album, I cannot.

   I hope Jack Johnson has an alter with Nick Drake’s picture on it and many lit candles around the picture in his house. Is it just me or did this guy completely take Nick Drake’s sound and style?

   Don’t get me wrong - the music sounds good - I can enjoy it.

   Just because pop music has an acoustic guitar doesn’t mean it’s any more sophisticated, or any less predictable than Jessica Simpson’s latest single. Jack Johnson isn’t interesting enough to be either loathed or enjoyed, really; It’s inoffensive music for an easily offended mind. And I’m sorry to say, but the album cover is honestly unsettling. I hope you’re not trying to lure children to your house with Curious George drawings, Jack…

   Only a guy who’s been considered “dreamy” or “swell” all his life would make music like this. It’s the sort of numbing, neutral, middle of the road pap that has such little inpact on any living thing that one wonders why the effort (& believe me it couldn’ have been much) was even made. I wouldn’t be surprised if he falls asleep in the middle of recording sessions; or maybe they just wheel his entire bed into the studio. He’s like Perry Como on morpheine.

   This is the “hunky dory” b.s. music that I’m confident is playing in hell.

   Jack Johnson has gained widespread admiration and commercial success on his own terms with us own unique style. His music was not afraid to color outside the lines with long guitar riffs and soothing lyrics. His music seems to be written as if it was made to appeal to himself and his loved ones and that is was makes it so sincere and enjoyable.
   
   The Soundtrack from Curious George somehow fails to capture this magic. It does not sound like a commercialized Jack Johnson, or even Jack Johnson at all. It sounds like a studio cover band trying to perform in the style of Jack Johnson.
   
   This is not a bad CD, but if you are looking for mellow, unhurried and sincere Jack be prepared to be disappointed. The closest comparison I can make is with the Counting Crows appearance on the Shrek soundtracks. It may technically be him, but it just does not sound right.
