Seriously, words can't describe how good Josh Groban's albums are! You have to experience them yourself. And you will wonder why you haven't listened to his music earlier! HE IS THE BEST! When I first heard his voice, my jaw droped to the ground, I immediately listen to more of his songs on youtube, and I knew then... I was hooked! Ever since the day when 17-year-old Josh Groban sang in public for the first time, he's continued to amaze with his gifted voice. Since then he's sold over 27 MILLION albums, all of his albums went Multi-Platinum. If you're still debating whether-or-not to buy his albums, go listen to samples of his songs on amazon/itunes, and you'll be hooked, just like I was. (Songs I highly recommend trying out first are February Song, When You Say You Love Me, Si Volvieras a Mi, My Confession, Bells of New York City, Happy In My Heartache, You Are Loved (Don't Give Up), Love Only Knows, Awake, Below The Line.) He also made an awesome Christmas album, by the way. :)Read full review
This is a masterpiece by one of the world's most gifted artists. I bought it simply because I love Josh's amazing voice. I was captivated by his song-writing and arranging ability so perfectly showcased in this album. I especially love his songs "Hidden Away", "Higher Window", and most of all "Love Only Knows". The words are poetic, meaningful and just beautiful. The music is captivating and addictive. The last song, "Straight to You" is by Nick Cave. I had never listened to Nick Cave so I Youtubed him singing this song. It was mediocre, but on Josh Groban's cd it is epic. If you're used to Nick Cave's performance of his own song and like it that way, you probably won't like Josh's version. If you loved the albums Closer and Awake and you expect more of the same, you might not like Illuminations because it is very different. I think this album was recorded and mixed better than his other cds. It seems you can hear his voice more clearly and it almost has a "raw" sound as if he were singing in the room with you. There aren't as many instruments drowning him out and it doesn't sound like he's in a tunnel or echoing at all. If you want the best musical quality and talent available in the world today, you won't be able to turn this cd off. You won't be dissapointed by purchasing Illuminations by Josh Groban.Read full review
First of all, I love Josh Groban's voice and have all of his cds. He is my all-time favorite singer. I have wondered why he had not made another cd in the past. Was anxious to purchase his new cd, Illuminations, but am very disappointed in the songs he chose for this album. It is not the quality of his past cds, but nevertheless I still love Josh Groban's voice and will continue purchasing his music albums. He has the voice of an 'angel'.
Came undamaged as a gift to my mother. She loves this singer so she loved it.
