Virginia exile Jason Mraz grew up listening to Dave Matthews and Agents of Good Roots, local heroes whose frat-friendly influences are much in evidence on his major-label debut. Producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer) augments Mraz's SoCal cohorts with Agents' rhythm section, dramatically expanding and polishing songs like "Curbside Prophet" and "You and I Both," which previously appeared in looser, less developed versions on Mraz's self-released live recordings. But fans from the singer-songwriter's coffeehouse years need not despair. Mraz's witty lyrics and easygoing folk-blues stylings (think Jack Johnson on Prozac) are still very much in evidence. He's also in fine voice and, on two standout tracks--"Who Needs Shelter" and "Absolutely Zero"--rivals Neil Finn in his ability to invoke the spirit of Paul McCartney. Waiting for My Rocket to Come showcases an artist who, while still finding his own direction, is clearly off to a great start. --Bill Forman

 Interesting album. 3.8 stars. March 15, 2010
Adrian the Complex Lonely (USA)
Some of it sounds the same after a while though. But all in all, Jason Mraz has constructed an album that is decently interesting to listen to. If you still haven't had the chance to hear this one, then I will tell you it's really laid-back and somewhat eclectic. There is folk and pop. A light reggae pop song ('I'll Do Anything'). Maybe some light rock thrown in for good measure (see 'Too Much Food'). Nothing too heavy or threatening. In return, what can be said is that it's relaxing at times, even lulling. :D
Mraz's strengths are his lyrics and the speed that he can sometimes spit them at. 'Curbside Prophet' is the song that shows this the best. Not my favorite song, but does he GO on this one! The song is just about Jason thinking he's got so much in him, but he's waiting for his chance to really shine.
But after a while, the album does get a little boring. For some, on repeated listens, they may find themselves skipping through just a bit, especially towards the middle/end of the disc.
Not having much more to say about the CD itself, I will get on to the rating and my favorite tracks.
3.8 stars or a 7.6/10.

 This is not a CD--- March 13, 2010
nobody (where ever)

I wish I could give a review of this disc. However as my computer will not recognise it I have not been able to play it. And I can not put it on my IPOD. I can only assume the copy protection is keeping me from enjoying my purchase. I therefore give this CD (??) a thumbs down. Now I've got to contact Amazon, get a return authorization and pay the shipping from Iraq just to get a refund. Interestingly enough, nowhere on the disc or package is there the CD logo as is required if the product is a genuine CD or DVD. Since Amazon has listed it as a CD then they have misrepresented the product. And before anyone tells me that my computer cd rom drive is at fault, the 4 other cd's that came in that order played and imported fine into I Tunes along with the other 800 some odd cd's also imported into Itunes.

I ordered the CD, it arrived well within the allotted time frame, online it said great quality, and it was practically brand new. The seller description didn't exaggerate, and the price was fair. Good Deal!
Great CD September 2, 2009
BI Developer (Danbury, CT)
This is one of the best CD's I've bought in years. I bought because I was familiar with only one song but ended up liking all the songs. His music does not follow the current trends, so it was good 10 years ago, it's good now, and probably will remain good 10 years from now. He's got great vocals and the band is tight.
 An Upbeat John Mayer August 2, 2009
Humming bird (United States)
I really like this CD. He sounds like an upbeat John Mayer. Where as I am not saying I dislike John Mayer, when I want something a little more upbeat I can put this CD in. I gave him 4 stars because I haven't heard his other CD yet so I can't actually give a full review of his work. But so far I really like it.
