Waiting for My Rocket to Come Best Review
The first time I heard "The Remedy" I was driving a remote stretch of highway in the pouring rain. It was a black night.
But within the first few bars and two lines of lyrics, it literally stopped me in my tracks. I pulled over, hit the flashers, and cranked the volume.
I wished there was cell phone service to call the station and find out who this fresh voice belonged to! It took awhile before I found him, but fame has a way of rewarding great talent. The next time I heard another song, I became hooked on his voice.
Yes, there is a wee bit of similarity re John Mayer, but it's a long stretch. Each has their unique gifts.
I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Waiting for My Rocket to Come Overview
His debut album is packed with witty, wordy, smart, funky & astonishingly catchy pop songs that do right by the best singer-songwriter traditions of Elektra. 2002.
Waiting for My Rocket to Come Specifications
Virginia exile Jason Mraz grew up listening to Dave Matthews and Agents of Good Roots, local heroes whose frat-friendly influences are much in evidence on his major-label debut. Producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer) augments Mraz's SoCal cohorts with Agents' rhythm section, dramatically expanding and polishing songs like "Curbside Prophet" and "You and I Both," which previously appeared in looser, less developed versions on Mraz's self-released live recordings. But fans from the singer-songwriter's coffeehouse years need not despair. Mraz's witty lyrics and easygoing folk-blues stylings (think Jack Johnson on Prozac) are still very much in evidence. He's also in fine voice and, on two standout tracks--"Who Needs Shelter" and "Absolutely Zero"--rivals Neil Finn in his ability to invoke the spirit of Paul McCartney. Waiting for My Rocket to Come showcases an artist who, while still finding his own direction, is clearly off to a great start. --Bill Forman

Interesting album. 3.8 stars. - Adrian the Complex Lonely - USA
Some of it sounds the same after a while though. But all in all, Jason Mraz has constructed an album that is decently interesting to listen to. If you still haven't had the chance to hear this one, then I will tell you it's really laid-back and somewhat eclectic. There is folk and pop. A light reggae pop song ('I'll Do Anything'). Maybe some light rock thrown in for good measure (see 'Too Much Food'). Nothing too heavy or threatening. In return, what can be said is that it's relaxing at times, even lulling. :D
Mraz's strengths are his lyrics and the speed that he can sometimes spit them at. 'Curbside Prophet' is the song that shows this the best. Not my favorite song, but does he GO on this one! The song is just about Jason thinking he's got so much in him, but he's waiting for his chance to really shine.
But after a while, the album does get a little boring. For some, on repeated listens, they may find themselves skipping through just a bit, especially towards the middle/end of the disc.
Not having much more to say about the CD itself, I will get on to the rating and my favorite tracks.
3.8 stars or a 7.6/10.

This is not a CD--- - nobody - where ever
I wish I could give a review of this disc. However as my computer will not recognise it I have not been able to play it. And I can not put it on my IPOD. I can only assume the copy protection is keeping me from enjoying my purchase. I therefore give this CD (??) a thumbs down. Now I've got to contact Amazon, get a return authorization and pay the shipping from Iraq just to get a refund. Interestingly enough, nowhere on the disc or package is there the CD logo as is required if the product is a genuine CD or DVD. Since Amazon has listed it as a CD then they have misrepresented the product. And before anyone tells me that my computer cd rom drive is at fault, the 4 other cd's that came in that order played and imported fine into I Tunes along with the other 800 some odd cd's also imported into Itunes.
Gets the Job Done Right! - Chad G. Rose -
I ordered the CD, it arrived well within the allotted time frame, online it said great quality, and it was practically brand new. The seller description didn't exaggerate, and the price was fair. Good Deal!
