9. Look For The Good (2020)
“It’s amazing the good vibes that emanate from this album, it’s all joy. I think it is a very positive music that makes us remember in these times of adversity, that not everything is sad and grey, there is also happiness and joy surrounding us.”
8. Tonight, Not Again: Jason Mraz Live At The Eagles Ballroom (2004)
“On this disc he shows why he’s quickly gaining a rabid fan-following. His voice soars like it doesn’t on his debut album _Waiting For My Rocket_ and his stage-banter is charming (though often a bit odd). He speeds up a lot of his already more upbeat numbers (see the smoking version of “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)”) and this, surprisingly, gives he and his band more room to work with rhythms and phrasing.”
7. Yes! (2014)
“Yes! is a little different from a typical Jason Mraz CD. He’s always been a great lyricist with catchy music. But I feel like Yes! departs from his normal sound that somehow captures both a high energy mood with a laid back feel. The music in this CD is a little more mellow overall. But his lyrics seem to go to the next level on this album, showing even more depth to his songs that we are used to.”

6. Beautiful Mess: Live On Earth (2009)
“His music is heartfelt and fun with lyrics that actually mean something. In the world of music these days it is rare to find a man and his buddy who work together to bring about some of the funniest songs of the year. I can say with 100% certainty that his live shows are better than his recorded stuff which makes him all the greater in my opinion. Jason Mraz is special, I am glad he chooses to share his mind with us”
5. Love Is A Four Letter Word (2012)
“The best way I can think of to describe this album is to say that listening to it gives me the feeling of falling in love. It took me a few listens to truly love it (with the exception of 5/6 and In Your Hands which I loved from the very first time I heard them) but now I can’t stop listening to it. My favorites are 5/6, The World As I See It (and the second part of it – not sure if that’s a hidden track or part of the same song), In Your Hands, Who’s Thinking About You Now?, and Everything is Sound (not necessarily in any particular order since it changes daily). I absolutely recommend this album but I would suggest listening to it a few times before deciding if you like it or not.”
4. Live At Java Joe’s (2001)
“Picture yourself in a small coffee house, with a smattering of appreciative listeners. Picture yourself sipping coffee or a glass of wine, a few feet from Jason. He’s sitting on a stool with his acoustic guitar, Toca next to him. The two of them are in perfect sync as they mesmerize you with their unbelievable talent. In this venue, Jason fully demonstrates his incredible talent for scat singing. You will be thoroughly amazed that a human voice can do what he does. He has the perfect instrument, God-given. “Common Pleasure” will blow you away.”

3. Mr. A-Z (2005)
“From start to finish, this album is consistently pleasing and catchy upon first listen. I never knew Jason Mraz before this album but I picked this up in preparation for a Mraz/Dave Matthews concert which my friend got me a ticket for and _Mr. A-Z_ blew me away.”
2. Waiting For My Rocket To Come (2002)
“Albums like “Waiting for My Rocket To Come” can really do and artist good, but also scare the living crap out of them. The problem is it’s an original album ,with original sound and styling, and it’s will be very hard to follow up. This album keeps up with itself one track after another, and features so many different kinds of musical motive and lyrical sense. No matter if it’s a single or not, I love every song on it. It will be interesting to see if this continues in Mraz’s career.”
1. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things (2008)
“In my opinion the very best pop album of modern age. The soul Mraz puts into his songs is astounding. This record contains a fairly large variety of songs, which stretches from the traditional “Love for a Child” being a fantastic singer/songwriter-ballad, to “Butterfly”, an awesome and funky tune, to “Make it Mine”, a groovy tune with harmonically elements directly from jazz. Of course it also contains “I’m Yours”, one of the most overrated songs ever in my opinion. But hey, it’s a nice feelgood-tune, and I like it despite the fact that I’ve heard it a billion times on the radio.”
