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.

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 .(noreply@blogger.com) Don't take the title of John Mayer's Heavier Things literally.

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.

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."
