As a musician who loves every side that John Mayer has to offer (from RFS right up to Continuum)I can honestly say that John Mayer is one of the few artists that every thing he puts his finger on turns to gold.The Fact that he surrounds himself with much older amazingly talented musicians is just a small testament to how pure-bred his talent is. Name me another artist who has millions of teenage girls screaming, not only to chart-topping pop songs, but a fifteen minute guitar solo? Turly a feat for music I'll say!!! I don't have a witty little quote to describe how multi-dimensional the artistic, and musical value of his writing is but all I know is he is a fifteen-year old guitar players hero. Thank you John.

John Mayer... oh John Mayer. A talented blues-guitarist he may be, but "anyone can play guitar" if what Thom Yorke has to say holds water. Writing a song that is not complete pants to play guitar along with might have been a nice start for Mr. Mayer. His words are empty, the music hollow, and everything he is doing that might be construed as good music has already been done better by someone else. A lot better. Unfortunately, the songs are catchy enough that I will still ave to listen to loads of Dave Matthews fans raving about this album endlessly, so that they can have some "credibility" in between listening all kinds of derivative pop bilge.

I thought I would hate this. Really. Waiting on the World to Change is annoying to hear on the radio, but on the album it's the standout track. Before you listen to the album, you have to realize that the only fast songs are WOTWTC and Bold as Love. Once you realize that, the album is amazing, with plenty of heartbreaking ballads. The only songs that aren't as good are the last two, but their lyrical content makes them perfectly placed at the end. Quick Picks: Waiting on the World to Change, The Heart of Life, Bold as Love 5/5

This is one of the only cds that I have on windows media player with a perfect 5 star on every song, that's coming from someone that basically listens to Hip Hop and R&B, that's telling how good this one is...........

I comletely fell in love with this album. Slow Dancing, Belief, Gravity, Vulture, basically all the songs are brilliant. And his live performances are even better

At first listen, I thought continuum was a disappointment. I was so wrong. In fact, it's the best and the most entertaining cd I ever bought. It does need twice and more listening to get it kick in, and once it does, you'll get addicted, especially to Vultures, I don't Trust Myself, Bold as Love
