Josh Groban is making it hard for anybody who can't say "classical crossover" without smirking to maintain an acceptable level of snobbery. Awake, his third studio disc and arguably his most personal--he co-wrote four tracks and favors his native English over Italian--boasts as many bold names as any tricked-out hip-hop disc: Dave Matthews, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Imogen Heap, and Herbie Hancock contribute in various capacities, and a slew of behind-the-scenes collaborators best known for their work in mainstream pop circles deepen the dimensions of a style widely considered claustrophobic. For all the studio doors that got opened to create Awake, though, Groban's signature sound never once slipped out to take the air; "the voice"--that hypnotic, spun-silk wonder of an instrument--is as concentrated as ever, and Awake, in addition to showing off its many splendors, serves as a vehicle for parading its versatility around. While "Un Giorno Per Noi," the deeply romantic theme to the 1968 film Romeo E Giulietta, delivers the Groban that fueled the sale of 16 million previous discs to soft-hearted fans, "Machine," with Hancock, gives up a new form of funk: dignified, classy, and surprisingly unstiff. --Tammy La Gorce

 Amazing! August 18, 2008
Kay Pole (Marriottsville, Maryland)
This is an amazing CD if you are a Josh Groban Fan. Even if you are not, it is a good way to hear a diverse selection of his amazing voice. It is a great CD.

There are no words to describe Josh Groban. He is phenmoninal! It doesn't matter he doesn't sing in English, just so long as he sings. My favorite is...When You Say You Love Me. His voice just lifts you up.

 Not his best, but definitly worth buying June 10, 2008

I really think Josh's all time BEST is his CD, "CLOSER," but this one is still a good one. My ratings for his CD's are as follows: "Closer," His self entitled debut album "Josh Groban," and then his newest CD, "Awake."
I wouldn't say Awake is his best accomplishment so far, but it's a good listen nevertheless, and one which I believe all avid JG fans will appreciate, even if they don't enjoy every single song.
