Far Side of the World is the twenty-fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and was released on March 19, 2002. It was Buffett's first album since forming his own record label Mailboat Records in 1999.

Reception

Critics have generally found the album to be subpar. Spin magazine described Far Side as "mellow and reflective" without being "too sleepy or pretentious". Although popular among Buffett's fans, the music style was criticized as not being popular for a wide range of audiences.
