Opinion: Battle Studies - JOHN MAYER - 2009Original at thatdoesntsoundright (WordPress)
• Tue, Dec 8
By thatdoesntsoundright This a great album that will sell millions, but my personal opinion is that this is too safe, too pop and too I-must-not-lose-my-fanbase. It’s a little disappointing after Continuum and The John Mayer Trio, but for what it is, it sounds right. More JOHN MAYER (so far only one album) HERE.
John Mayer - Battle Studies – Album Review
Original at danthemusicman (WordPress)
• Wed, Dec 2
By danthemusicman On the negative side, not a whole lot to dislike about the album. Those who are looking for a pop hit or dance groove are going to be disappointed, but they shouldn’t be looking to Mayer for that anyway. Mayer has established himself in the music community and you are not going to hear anymore “Y...

By Rolling Stone Norah Jones has effortlessly shifted genres in her platinum-and-Grammy-filled career, and on her new disc The Fall she set out to make an album similar to Tom Waits’ Mule Variations, adding that LP’s producer and guitarist to her arsenal. “For her fourth LP, her liveliest, she rolls with...

By .(noreply@blogger.com) Don't take the title of John Mayer's Heavier Things literally. Mayer offers nothing heavy on the follow-up to his breakthrough hit, Room for Squares -- nothing heavy in the music and nothing heavy in the lyrics. No, Mayer is smooth, slick, and streamlined on his second or third album (it all...
CD Review: Brett Dennen's Hope for the HopelessOriginal at LAist

By Christine N. Ziemba There’s a spectrum of the singer songwriter: semi-hotties who produce pure pabulum (John Mayer, Jack Johnson) to artists with great lyrics that we’d much rather listen to than moon over (think Bob Dylan and Van Morrison). And then there’s everyone else.

By Paul Roy To me, the sugary pop-rock of John Mayer's first few albums are like a big bucket of Halloween candy.

As a hard core John Mayer fan, I enjoy this double CD set. I especially love "Blues Intro" and John's rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues/Make Me Wanna Holler." The rest is same ole, same ole, but the set is worth having if you love John playing the blues as much as I do. In concert, he does...

Longtime listeners have seen it coming: it was only a matter of time before John Mayer dropped the pop star pretense and proved he could really bring it. Chalk it up to one too many Dave Matthews comparisons, or the cupcake-sweet residue stuck to his image after the success of "Your Body Is a W...

By contact@tryjm.com (Susi) Then there are those who listened to "Your Body Is A Wonderland," "Waitin' On The World To Change," or some similar pop-happy tune about a dozen times on the way to the concert and spent the night wondering when he'd play "Daughters."

By noreply@blogger.com (Susi) Mayer has made himself an easy target for this kind of a discussion. His relationship with Aniston follows well-publicized flings with Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Minka Kelly. He was also rumored to have dated Heidi Klum. And he once hit on Rikki.
