John Mayer's progression as an artist has been an intriguing one. The move from his acoustic folk debut INSIDE WANTS OUT to the electric pop of his breakthroughs, ROOM FOR SQUARES and HEAVIER THINGS, showed him to be a singer, guitarist, and songwriter of range as well as commercial durability. Mayer then confounded the critics who dismissed him as a Dave Matthews clone when he released a raw, rootsy, blues-based live album with a trio that featured ace session musicians.

The horizons of Mayer's musical world continued to expand with 2006's CONTINUUM. Mellow and soulful, yet textured and sophisticated in execution, CONTINUUM incorporates all the elements of the artist's previous releases while raising the bar on craft, musicianship, and tunesmithery. Classic blues, R&B, and soul are the major touchstones here, but Mayer doesn't merely ape his influences; instead he assimilates them into a personal singer-songwriter mode that is as affecting as it is understated. Mid-tempo and downtempo grooves dominate, but the man still has a way with a lilting, folk-tinged melody (as on the lovely "The Heart of Life"). Mayer's deft guitar work and increasingly nuanced singing take center stage on first listen, but it is his heartfelt, beautifully written songs that truly make CONTINUUM shine.

John Mayer's third studio album follows the multi-platinum "Room for Squares" (2001) and "Heavier Things" (2003), and marks his first turn as producer. It is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet and he says it's no accident that this project is where all of his efforts, his potential, and his disparate influences fully come together.

3 stars A legend in the making
John Mayer is going to be one of those musicians that pass the test of time. There isn't a bad track on the entire CD. A wonderful voice and excellent guitar work throughout. You'll find yourself walking around with the song "I don't Trust Myself" replaying in your brain. A sound decision to buy this CD.

3 stars just curious..
Didn't John Mayer appear in a Dave Chappelle skit a few years back? I believe he played guitar as Dave explain how different races reacted to certain musical instruments.. a very funny skit!!

5 stars A new fan.
His first 2 albums I was not a fan of but after I heard him play live I got his live trio cd which is awesome too. Although this cd doesn't have the same energy it is still an awesome blues/rock cd.

4 stars Not a John Mayer fan, but love this album.
While I'm not a fan of his earlier work, as soon as I heard "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room," I knew I HAD to check this album out...and I love it. It's mellow, blues-y, and pop-ish...but yet seems to be a bit deeper than most pop I've heard as of late. I definately reccomend checking this album out, you will not be disappointed!!
