91This body of work will be a wonderland of hits in time.
-
Those who just enjoyed the sound and feel of Room for Squares should feel right at home.
-
An equally available yet more sophisticated album.
-
70As Mayaer talks himself in circles you hear an artist facing massive success, and retreating from it. [Dec 2003, p.112]
-
70Like [Norah] Jones, Mayer never lets his personality talk over his elegant melodies, but unlike her, he has range. [Oct 2003, p.112]
-
60It's the kind of record you hate yourself for liking. [Dec 2003, p.132]
-
60A sophomore effort that doesn't have as many drawbacks as one might assume.
-
Overall, ''Heavier Things'' is snappier than, say, a Bruce Hornsby CD, if not as rockin' and emotion-drenched as the latest from Dashboard Confessional.
-
50Sadly, Mayer's idea of a good time involves hiring jazz musicians to make himself sound like '80s James Taylor. [Dec 2003, p.128]
-
While he's technically adept at playing the blues, it's perfectly clear the only heartache Mayer knows how to emote comes the morning after a night of hearty partying.
