Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Turin Brakes}' third release blends the lighthearted escapism of their debut and the slickly produced escapism of their sophomore release for a satisfying, tambourine-slapping good time. Acoustic guitars are still the thing and {$Ollie Knights}' voice is still a cross between {$Jeff Buckley} and early {$David Bowie}, but the songwriting has improved drastically. {$Knights} and his duo partner, {$Gale Paridjanian}, have never been considered the greatest lyricists, and while the somewhat improved prose on {^Jackinabox} won't change that, the arrangements are much tighter than ever and cover up whatever lyrical deficiencies the charismatic, freewheeling attitude of the band doesn't. When they offer upbeat, infectious, neo-hippie numbers like the funky {&"Asleep With the Fireflies"} ({$Jamiroquai} for the acoustic set) or {&"Over and Over"} (a playful, nearly {\cabaret} song), the album excels and fits summery afternoons like a glove. The wistful {\ballads} are more hit or miss, the widescreen {&"Road to Nowhere"} being an example of direct hit with the meandering {&"Forever"} being a tedious miss that feels totally out of place. Sliding guitars, xylophones, and {\electronic} touches flush out the sound, and the duo's complete involvement with the recording -- producing, engineering, etc. -- gives it a comfortable, "at home" feel. Fans won't be disappointed in the least, and with so much growth displayed, they should probably make room for converts. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
