    ben kweller has had lunch with madonna. that's just cute. his songs are sort of immature, but i love his voice and he has a f*ckload of talent.

    I really love ben kweller, so maybe i'm biased..but if you like Ke, Travis, or John Mayer, then this guy will suit you right down to the ground. It's got his heart in it, and it sure got mine...*kirsty*

    Its an album loosely built his own problems and insecurities. Problems 18-20 year old Americans can identify with. His words are heartfelt and quirky at the same time, the music is infectious.

    sha sha isn't a bad album but the title track among others are too long for my tastes and don't lend themselves to getting replayed. i may want to hear the album once in a year and have no subsequent desire to hear it again

    Melodically, this matches The Lemonheads at their best. [Aug 2002, p.126]

    Three or four songs short of a really strong album. [Oct 2002, p.107]

    Granted, Kweller is still searching for an unique voice, as his music still wears its roots a little too blatantly, but he’s definitely on the right track.
