We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things Image
  • Summary: The third album for the San Diego-based singer-songwriter includes songs that first appeared on three EPs.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 12
  2. Negative: 0 out of 12
  1. His third studio CD, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., includes pleasantly lightweight jams with beachy guitars (''Live High''), R&B horns (''Make It Mine''), even playful scat singing (''I'm Yours'').
  2. Mraz shines brightest on a pair of '70s-style piano-pop songs. 'Love for a Child' would be solid midtempo Elton John, complete with lyrics (viewing a failing relationship from the child's perspective) just oddball enough for Bernie Taupin.
  3. The album is harmless fun, and the funky, groovy, hook-dominated tracks are impossible to hate.

  1. If you don't like this album, you have no soul. The crazy part is how many people still don't know about him. Def worth checking out. Yes, this review is late but I stumbled upon the CD lying in an old box and crap and just had to say something about it. All around feel good album. Expand

    I like Mraz, but almost hated this derivative album. Not only heard Eminem in there, but also (gasp) Drake Bell?! Sounded like weak first album. His sound present only on a few songs. Expand
