Buy it, July 10, 2003
This review is from: Coming Home (Audio CD)
If you like John Mayer and wish he had a little hip hop flavor to him, then this is your man. This CD is great from beginning to end, you can just listen to this all the way through. I found it to be a good to listen to when you are stuck in traffic and want to sing along to lower the stress level. He has good lyrics and includes them with the CD. He doesn't change the Cyndi Lauper remake of "Time after Time" too much and its cool how its sang buy a guy. All in all it's a great buy and I highly recommend it, especially for ten dollars.

hmm... Good but nothing too groundbreaking, August 23, 2004
This review is from: Coming Home (Audio CD)
This is a very solid album, and I will not discount the quality of a lot of the songs and the intelligence of some of the lyrics. The title track (and I think, the single) "Coming Home" is the track that sticks out the most to me, though I have difficulty saying that this album has a "hip hop" feel to it, given that that feeling seems to be strictly for the reason that it sounds like the songs have strictly drum machine loops instead of a "real" drummer. There isn't much else that's "hip hop" about it, but that's not what I was looking for in the album, so it wasn't a "dissappointment" for me.
The only dissappointment that I had was because this wasn't as "groundbreaking" as other reviews had lauded it to be and the dissappointment stopped at that. Aside from not being "groundbreaking" this was a solid effort, especially from a first album, and it was well worth the $6 I paid for it to get it used here, so for $6 of your hard earned money, I would have to say RUN OUT AND BUY IT!!! It'll make a nice addition to any collection, and most likely, you'll be the only person on your block to have it, so all your friends can jealously ask "Who is that you are playing in you Stereo?"

This band is sooo so good. I highly reccomend it. This band has so much potential, so incredibly good. Its got a feel good groove going that has a nice rock twist, with meaningful lyrics.
