Amazing guitarist! Sep 01, 2009
Just warning you: I haven't written any reviews for a while, and I'm not very good at it, but here goes:
Rolling Stone recently (well, in 2007, so not so recently) labeled him as "Slowhand, Jr." in reference to Eric Clapton. Maybe it's the timing of when I discovered this album, but I've been listening to a lot of Clapton's stuff as well, and I must say I agree. Mayer is a master of the blues guitar. He produces a crisp, clear sound with every note he plays, regardless of how fast it may be.
Highlights:
"Waiting on the world to change": politically charged lyrics, great jam, you've probably heard it on the radio.
"Belief": one of the best guitar songs I've ever heard from any singer. Great harmonies during the chorus.
"Heart of life": very calm, beautiful lyrics.
"I'm gonna find another you": OK, so this one was not released as a single, or given any awards. But I think the lyrics are hilarious, and the performance of it is great.
"Say": only on the newer version of the album. You've undoubtedly heard this on the radio. The lyrics are good, but the chorus is VERY repetitive. The best part about this one is the guitar - I'm usually not a fan of high-pitched guitar playing, but the execution of this one is phenomenal.
One last thing: I had heard a lot about this album (I'd heard a couple songs on the radio), but I had never actually heard it straight through until a few weeks ago when I stumbled across it in the public library. Most of what I'd heard was not positive, but I figured - why not? I checked it out and listened to it, but I wasn't planning on liking this album at all. It grows on you.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you consider looking up this album. I'm definitely glad I did.
 He's still got it Aug 05, 2009
If you liked his other albums, then you'll most likely like this one as well. Music's still great, lyrics are just as meaningful, and his voice is just as entrancing. It also includes a few hit tracks from the live recording of the John Mayer Trio - Try album. All in all, if you're a John Mayer fan, it is a necessity for you to purchase this album. Don't worry - you'll love it.

Over here in Europe, John Mayer is pretty much unknown. I saw his perfromance at Michael Jackson's tribute concert, and thought I'd try a bit further.
From what I read and heard on the net, Mayer wasn't going to be my cup of tea. I like my guitarists heavy and soulful, sometimes shredders, but also bluesy.Then I found a three cd box (his three studio albums) set for a fair price...
Mayer falls in the soulful, bluesy category. He's good at what he does, altough his songs are a bit too "poppy" and could do with longer solos to my taste. the production is clean (too clean IMHO), but again, in that kinda music, it's okay.
So, overall, I'm quite pleased with this cd, but Mayer is not gonna become my new guitar hero, and I believe he might be a bit overrated.
In my opinion, there's a bit too much of Sting and Clapton in his music rather than Hendrix or Zakk Wylde.
Still good music, easy listening.
