5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Second Album, September 7, 2010

Jukebox's second album, Everything Under the Sun, fully delivers--with track after track of JTG's unique brand of pop excellence. Their songs are full of energy, catchy choruses, and pure artistic skill. Like the original JTG album (Let Live and Let Ghosts), Everything Under the Sun has a wide variety of tracks and sounds, but now with an extra coat of audio polish and skill brought by two+ years of touring and song writing since the original's release. This album is fantastic, and every track is a piece of art. Definitely check this one out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE GREAT POP, September 18, 2010

This fantastic collection of pop songs begins with a pop masterpiece "Schizophrenia" that is not just a pop song, it is a magnificent pop composition. Yes, there's a difference. After Ben Thornewill lays down his two melody themes, the second of which is a killer two-bar hook, he then manages to stuff into the rest of the song a dizzying array of musical variations on his two-bar hook and his two melodies that owes as much to a classical music composition as it does to a standard pop song. The breadth and creativity of this display is astonishing. The support provided by Tommy Siegel (guitar) and Jesse Kristin (drums) is pitch perfect, particularly the way Kristin drives the coda to its ending. In another era, this song would be all over the radio by now and people would be comparing Thornewill's songwriting ability to a certain Paul, a certain Brian and a certain Prince.

By no means do I wish to downplay the songwriting of Siegel. His contributions to this album are quite strong, particularly "The Sun Interlude" which leads into "The Stars." Siegel also possess a great sense of song composition. All of the songs on this album possess something that is special and there isn't a weak track in the collection. As a work of art, it is the stand-out album of the year; the one I will most certainly continue to enjoy and return to in years to come. Plus, for those old enough to recognize the reference: "It's got a good beat, it's easy to dance to, I'd give it a 95." I knew nothing of this band until I saw them on Letterman on September 1, 2010 and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Talent this rare is, well, rare. A must buy for those who appreciate great pop.

Everything Under The Sun is a delight to listen too. Brings a smile to my face. Knowing that many out there are looking at reviews to see what the Band is similiar to... I would compare them to Ben Folds Five mixed with a bit of Keane and just enough They Might Be Giants in there for amusement.
