DanielleMJan 20, 2006Wonderful....easy to listen to, and makes you want to sing along--though it is tough to keep up with Mr. A-Z

NewMrazFanMar 4, 2007This guy is amazingly talented. So poetic in his songwriting. And he sings like no other. One of the nicest pop albums I've heard.

ElisePNov 7, 2005Had to warm up to it since I iwas used to his live stuff, but I love it. I love Mraz's voice and lyrical style. I can't stop listening to it.

MightyMouseAug 13, 2005Not the deepest album, but Mraz does a good job of putting together some infectious beats with utra-feel good lyrics. No mind blowing affair by any measure, but certainly better than the current 49 critic rating. It's found a place in my iPod.

NicoleBAug 13, 2005I thought this CD was so much better than his first you can really tell Jason had a lot to do with what went onto the album. To me if there was one word that could describe this album it's sexy.

-
CathyMAug 14, 2005I think Mraz has some growing to do but I liked the salsa sound to some of the tunes. Overall, he is a master of wordplay.

KatieInsectAug 22, 2005I love you Jason! All I listen to anymore is your music. YOu are a master of words, and melodies. I must admit, your first album was better, but Mr. A-Z did not let mr down. O. Lover is fun to dance to, and I sing to Geek in the shower everynight. Never stop making music!!!!!

EllieDSep 27, 2005Give the guy a break on this album, i have to say that its definatly as good as his last and 'did you get me message?' is an awesome song!

JaxCSep 4, 2005awesome cd, he really exhibits his versatility in all different styles of music and how he has grown up from "Waiting For My Rocket to Come". although, i love him when he keeps things simple with him and his guitar, this album really showed off his ability to add neat effects where he wouldn't be able to do live. sounds great!

BillOct 17, 2005Critics be damned! It has a completely new and fresh sound that doesn't just throw guitar rifts or poorly written lyrics out there. It brings a new feel with jazzy style and originality that so many cookie cutter bands can't compair to. I'd highly recommend this and other works by Mr. A-Z.

CelesteLAug 29, 2005I was very impressed. I saw him in concert in Seatlle and the album was just like it. It's great to finally hear someone with real talent that doesn't need a voice-editing machine to be able to sing. I'd love to jam with him sometime

LockeAAug 31, 2005Pretty awesome CD, but is missing "Waiting For My Rocket's" original class and distinction. However, he still remains one of my favorites.

GreyHSep 26, 2005Jason Mraz is an incredible talent and this CD showcases his AMAZING vocal skills. It is his best CD? Probably not. But It's still an incredible one. Critics claiming that he is self-absorbed and those mindless drones claiming that this isn't real music have nothing of substance to back up their ridiculous claims... they are just hopping on a bandwagon.

JonGAug 21, 2006This album is absolutely amazing. It's so different from Waiting for My Rocket To Come, but it's still very Mraz. THe entire album is amazing, but if I had to pick standouts, they would be: Bella Luna, Plane, O. Lover, and Song For A Friend.

JeannetteMNov 5, 2005Although I do agree that Jason's older stuff is a lot better, I still love this cd and think that new "mr a-z" Mraz is 100 times better than pretty much anything out there

BeeOct 17, 2005Hey, this cd RAWKS. I love the song "Wordplay". Jason Mraz is extremely talented.
-
-
MandieLOct 28, 2005This Album is amazing, I agree that his live stuff is phenominal, but isn't live stuff always better(or it should be at least)? This Album has been in my player since it came out and i don't plan on taking it out anytime soon!

For those who enjoyed the wise-ass undercurrent of his debut, this will be a delight. For those who enjoyed "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)," there will be too much narcissistic tomfoolery here to make this enjoyable. For those who never understood the appeal of Jason Mraz in the first place, Mr. A-Z will make them realize that they've really been taking John Mayer for granted.
-
Fortunately, producer Steve Lillywhite is on hand to clean things up, giving even the most bumbling lyrical experiments, such as "Wordplay" and "Geek in the Pink," at least the illusion of a newfound maturity.
-
There's an overriding sense of preciousness that permeates "Mr. A-Z," and a few instances ("O. Lover," "The Forecast") where his homages to '70s AM radio sneak over into copies.
