Album Review: Jack Johnson - All The Light Above It Too

StarStarStarHalf Star

"A brilliantly raw album with a positive message about retaining perspective."

More Jack Johnson Jack Johnson Profile

From the steel guitar on opener Subplots, Jack Johnson's Hawaiin home still holds an obvious influence on his music.

On his seventh studio album, All The Light Above It Too, you'll find the formula of relaxed, mellow, island vibe music, with sometimes-deep lyrical messages Johnson introduced us to over 17 years ago. His smooth, soothing voice delivers commentary on current issues, expressing dislike of "Paranoid us-against-them walls" (My Mind Is For Sale) and media overexposure (Sunsets For Somebody Else).

All The Light Above It Too is a brilliantly raw album with a positive message about retaining perspective despite all that's going on in the world today.
