A lot of people like this "Uberjam" album. I haven't heard it, but "Uberjam 2" was pretty good.

This album is quite good, and has him in a more modern abstract post bop style, as opposed to his usual funk and RnB records.

Wait a minute.

you linked to what people say on this site, but what about what they say in general ?
I mean, a lot of jazz lovers probably don't even know about this site...

Allmusic has some good reviews, as usual:

http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-scofield-mn0000677991/discography

As far as a resource that provides an opinion consensus pulled from many resources, I do not know of a resource like that at this time.

I suppose someone could combine ratings and reviews from allmusic, downbeat, allaboutjazz and several other sites and arrive at some sort of overview, but I don't know of anyone who has done that.
