melbDec 25, 2003I absolutely love this album. I have had it for about 2 or 3 months and i havent gotten sick of it. It just has something about it that captures me. John is so talented and he really outdid himself. Way to go John.

J.D.IvesSep 27, 2003John Mayer is a pure example of a musician. He writes his own songs, plays on his own tracks, and seems to NEVER take a break.. This album is a must for all fans of John Mayer. He bridges the gap that Room for Squares left by placing "Heavier" guitar riffs and more emotionally charged lyrics. The man in a genious.

rubenfApr 20, 2005not the best album, but it is very good. john mayer is very creative but he does'nt show it. some great up beat songs make up for lowsy beats and borings lyrics. i think next time around he'll make it a classic.

LizANov 23, 2003This is a great album that shows how much John Mayer has grown as not only an artist, but as a person as well.

DannyWOct 20, 2003At the beginning, I thought the album was gonna disappoint me as my friend told me that teh album had been messed up by the effects. It turned out that Mayer's contagious interpretation of music could still stand out and make it work.

EricOct 7, 2003"Inside Wants Out" . . Great, "Room for Squares" . . . Fantastic, "Any Given Thursday" . . . A sign of GREAT things to come. "Heavier Things" . . . What the f*** happened. Don't get me wrong I think Mayer is an amazing guitarist when he lets the blues flow, but heavier things is simply a jumble of effects, and weak riffs.

MarkGSep 30, 2003An interesting album, as Mayer experiments with jazzier textures and rhythms, but it lacks the pure brilliance of the first CD. This album tries too hard to NOT be pop, which, ultimately, is its downfall.

ValerieVSep 21, 2003Every time I listen to it, it sounds better and better. There are moments when that what I've just got to hear. It fills a place inside of me that wants to be soothed and enlightened at once.

christieSep 25, 2003John Mayer is amazing! His voice is like butter the way it is so smooth.. Heavier Things doesn't have just one song that pops out, but all of them do.... i've had the cd for almost a month now, and i still don't have a favorite! i can't narrow it down enough! YAY JOHN MAYER!!

BeeboSNov 23, 2004While Mayer is a very capable musician, the hushed, back-of-the-throat affectation of his vocals grates after awhile, as does his overarching pretentiousness. This isn't the worst album ever, but I also think that in 20 years Mayer will only be remembered on "Soft Rock of the 00's" compilations sold on late night tv.

TaraMar 16, 2004This album shows how versitile he is as a songwriter. It includes slow and fast songs, jazzy and rock songs, etc. There is something for everyone. This CD (along with other Mayer cds) never leave my player. He is very talented and will contunue to be successful in the years to come!

MojoAs Mayaer talks himself in circles you hear an artist facing massive success, and retreating from it. [Dec 2003, p.112]
