Was expecting more

I decided to buy this album because of the song I'm Yours. It's a unique, catchy & beautiful song. Plus it was the first song my little sister & I heard when we stepped onto our first cruise ship ever! Someone was doing a cover of I'm Yours, and it was breath taking! On top of this, my lovely sister actually memorized all the lyrics & sang it to me because I kept asking her to sing it to me when I was trying to fall asleep in hotel rooms after the cruise had ended. haha, She's freaking amazing. Anyways, the c.d was a bit of a let down. But then again, sadly, most always thing happends. You hear an outstanding song, buy the album & find out the majority of the rest of the band's music is horrible & sounds nothing close to the hit you were sold by the radio & m.t.v. Nine Inch Nails is the major exception to this rule! Splendid records, all the way through & the radio hits are never the best song on the album! (At least this was always true in the past. As of lately NIN last couple records have been a bit off, or at least an unexpected different approach to music making that doesn't seem as flawless as in the past. But it's still fantastic none the less!) Sorry to get off track. Back to the Jason Mraz CD....I plan to continue listening to it & see if it possibly grows on me a bit or what not. It is possible that the first time through, an album could really rub you the wrong way or that you are not able to catch on to the "catchy-ness" an all. But first impressions, it seemed like an over abundance of chummy lyrics that began to lose their meaning or effect around track 4, & the music is not very impressing either. I'm Yours is still just radical though. Art work on the cd cover was worth a few bucks though! ;) Thanks again for listening! ChristiAna in Portland, Oregon
