Amazon.co.uk Review
Jack Johnson's 5th studio album has been highly anticipated, not only because it's been a while since his last recording (iIn Between Dreams/i), but also because it's his first 'electric' (as in guitar) album. But despite being co-produced by JP Plunier--the man that produces Ben Harper and the mastermind behind iBrushfire Fairytales/i--specifically to shake things up, iSleep Through the Static/i isn't that much of a departure after all. The mix of mellow sing-a-longs and slacker ballads are very much in line with earlier work, even if they do feel a little more mature and come with piano flourishes by new band member Zach Gill. The new maturity is evident not only in Johnson's lyrics, which deal with everything from his new life as a father to the Iraq war, but also from the song arrangements, which foreswear the bigger hooks of previous albums for a more even flow. If that sounds like the album fails to push the envelope musically, it should. The songs here are consistently good, but they're not groundbreaking. It might feel to some like an opportunity missed; but on the other hand Sleep Through The Static is full of what Johnson does best: easy-going campfire songs infused with that eternal stoner-slacker spirit. i--Paul Sullivan/i

 As good as 'Inbetween Dreams' February 26, 2008

He is unbelievable and the best time to listen to his cds are on a lazy Sunday morning! As soon as you hear his voice, you just forget about everything around you. Tracks 1-4 and 10 are my favourite. I've so far brought 3 copies! I cannot confess how much I admire and love this Hawaiin singer. Buy this and you won't be disappointed!!!!

This is the first Jack Johnson album I've purchased. I've obviously heard of him before but never actually been motivated to buy his music and see what it's like for myself and after listening to this album I can't think why?

I've been waiting for this album for ages I can say it lived up to my expectations. I think "In Between Dreams" will always be his best album but "Sleep Through The Static" is also excellnt and I would recommend it. The best songs are, All at Once, Sleep Through the Static, Hope If I Had Eyes. Some of the songs could be a bit more upbeat but apart from that it is an excellnt album. My favourite all time songs are Better Together, Breakdown Times Like These.
