Apr 25, 2023I think this album is a perfect and cohesive experience with some of the most beautiful songwriting i have ever seen. The messages he gives are personal and emotional and so are the melodies.
I think this project is highly overhated and to me it has connected immediately. I think this is one of the best blues / soft rock albums -

Apr 8, 2021John Mayer at his absolute best. Continuum marks Mayer has transitioning into a new phase of his career and cements his legacy as a great singer/songwriter and a master guitar player. Every track is un-skippable.
9.3/10 -
Feb 8, 2020Mayer’s best work where the guitar leads everything in perfect balance. Blue and pop beautifully combined
-
Aug 25, 2019Beautiful, high fidelity record from a master songwriter. This is probably John Mayer’s best work to date.

May 14, 2016This is John Mayer in the zone, Where he born, Mayer makes the blues accessible. Continuum is the most honest album I've ever heard, It's an escape, a kind of break of the music industry these days, It's Mayer coming of age, There are amazing guitar players, good singers, but this is a musician being a true artist.

May 28, 2015This is a truly great album that I know I'll be listening to in 10 years time.
It perfectly exemplifies Mayer's ability to juggle complex, harmonically rich arrangements with beautifully crafted, mature lyrics and effective, simple melody. -

Aug 25, 2013This is surely John Mayer's masterpiece in my opinion, in which he combines every influence from the blues to the jazz, pop-rock and so on Surely he gave everything of his own punch, this is the album -talking about style- where you can say "wow, this is John Mayer One of the greatest album ever and this is a MUST LISTEN album
-
Dec 21, 2012John Mayer brings a great sounding album as a matter of fact way better sounding album than his newer music.
-
Feb 11, 2012One of the rare albums where I can listen right through and enjoy every single second of it. Slow dancing in a burning room, vultures, and stop this train are the highlights for me.

TroyMApr 14, 2007This 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...........

MelanieMar 20, 2007I 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

ebssFeb 14, 2007At 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

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.

SteveDec 11, 2006Excellent album from John Mayer, possibly the defining artist of his generation.

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.

KidBNov 28, 2006His best and clearly most consistant effort yet. I don't live in America so don't hear that much about him, my friends from the States feel he is over hyped. I just love his groove man, and he's pushing the boundaries of rock at the moment. There hasn't been many consistant records this year, but this is. A grower as all classic albums should be!

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.
