WILBURDOct 6, 2006Wow, I can't believe such a number of people could be negative about this album. I like all JM's stuff and find very little to criticise here. Only time will tell if it replaces Heavier Things as my favourite because it's a record that I never got tired of.

BBDec 10, 2006An instant classic - this will prove to be a defining album for John Mayer and one of the top releases of the decade.

RebekahFSep 18, 2006Mayer gives us a new look at old sounds. An album of twelve songs that are all at once diverse and tightly intertwined around similar themes of love, loss, betrayal and above all, coming of age.

jenniferJan 25, 2007Starting with track 2 you immediately feel the down home blues influence in the music and I love it! Belief if beautiful, Gravity is nice, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is hypnotic. This album has soul and I love the fact that his guitar is getting some real attention on this CD. Make sure you pick this one up. It is well worth it.

ChuckNov 10, 2006There is nothing better than driving at night with the top down listening to a little John! He is truly one of our generations best talents and should be celebrated. Bravo John, Bravo!

SarhaHOct 17, 2006When I first listened to this CD I thought it was pleasant enough, but after listening to it a few more times I've picked up on more depth and nuance of both the music and the lyrics. Similar to the lyrics on Heavier Things, it seems he starts with poetry and then adds music. However, the music itself feels more like learning the blues; gentle but rich. Love it.

EmmaROct 4, 2006John never ceases to amaze me. His new music is every bit as uplifting and soothing and humanity inspiring as always. Continuum is a source of great musical joy. The Heart of Life is one of the most heart warming songs I have ever heard. This music just simply adds to one's quality of life. Thanks

BruceROct 5, 2006This is the first John Mayer album I've heard and I bought it primarily due to Steve Jordan's involvement. What a pleasure to listen to. Mr. Mayer eschews the more maudlin traits of singer-songwriterdoom for a tasty mix of jazz, funk and folk. It's fine from start to finish and, yes, the boy can play.

annmariemSep 12, 2006Nicely shows John Mayer growing up - while he's not all grown up yet - I'm enjoying this faze of his life.

LuisGSep 12, 2006in keeping true to himself by avoiding over produced albums and passing songs "continuum" offers an escape on what radio passes for music these days.. mayer shines making doudt, love, loss and any emotion worth experiencing ... not far fetch to call his work " GENIOUS" his bluesy, r&b , rock infused tracks stay with you and trigger a tear, hope and complete serenity... I LOVE THIS MAN !!!!

JoshBSep 16, 2006The best Mayer album to date. No other recent artist has successfully explored other genres of music as well as John has. John is doing something no one else is and he's exposing the masses to the coolness of the blues and just original music in general. See you in Oct. 8th for the John/Sheryl show. Thanks for rocking.

BlenderWhere his earlier music was a parade of bright primary colors, these plaintive melodies come in delicious shades of gray. [Oct 2006, p.138]

While Continuum doesn’t necessarily contain a sure-thing pop hit, it’s one of the few mainstream pop/rock albums that’s satisfying from the beginning to the end.
-
With no edge to the songwriting and with such spit-polished, tasteful production, Continuum just doesn't convince as a heady, soulful rock album or as Mayer's creative quantum leap forward.
