I think this album was recorded and mixed better than his other cds. If you loved the albums Closer and Awake and you expect more of the same, you might not like Illumin ations because it is very different. 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. It was mediocre, but on Josh Groban's cd it is epic. I had never listened to Nick Cave so I Youtubed him singing this song. ![]() The last song, "Straight to You" is by Nick Cave. The words are poetic, meaningful and just beautiful. I especially love his songs "Hidden Away", "Higher Window", and most of all "Love Only Knows". I was captivated by his song-writing and arranging ability so perfectly showcased in this album. I bought it simply because I love Josh's amazing voice. This is a masterpiece by one of the world's most gifted artists. He also made an awesome Christmas album, by the way. (Songs I highly recommend trying out first are February Song, When You Say You Love Me, Si Volviera s 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.) 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. ![]() Since then he's sold over 27 MILLION albums, all of his albums went Multi-Platinum. I was hooked!Įver 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. 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. And you will wonder why you haven't listened to his music earlier! Seriously, words can't describe how good Josh Groban's albums are!
