1) Amazon.com
Continuum is about as apt a title as it gets for John Mayer's third studio disc. Every element, from the peerless guitar playing to the plainspoken poetry of the lyrics to the breathy-sincere singing, makes a return from previous efforts. But to weakly pronounce this another worthwhile effort from an artist the world has come to expect a whole lot from and then call it a day would be no minor misdeed, because it's also the best, boldest disc he's ever made. Taking maturity as a theme throughout, Mayer tackles a batch of adulthood's bogeymen: indifference on the uptempo chart-climber "Waiting for the World to Change," aging on the melancholy-sweet "Stop This Train," and emotional trainwreckage on the big-rocking "In Repair." That's not to suggest he's turned overly introspective--check the Jimi Hendrix cover "Bold As Love," where he hits one home for guitarists who've been living in the shadow of legend everywhere, and the hard-charging "Belief," which benefits from a mesmerizing, liquid groove. Continuum may be the third in a series, but a creative cop-out this is not; Mayer is his generation's musical superman--powerful, unassailable, and magnetic. Hand that man a cape. --Tammy La Gorce

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.More from MayerRoom for SquaresHeavier Things Try!, the John Mayer TrioInside Wants Out (EP)Any Given Thursday (CD) Any Given Thursday (DVD)

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Rockin   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
John Mayer knows pain and he can belt out a song like no other, I recommend this particular album for anyone trying to get over a break up. This album can help to heal your soul

2) Easy to digest   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Catchy songs that are able to please a diverse set of tastes (my six month old likes it), Continuum will meet or exceed any expectations one would have of John Mayer considering his previous efforts. LM's music has moved into a more soulful, bluesy direction. Let's hope that effort continuues...

3) Just Beautiful.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This music is so fun to listen to I bought it for my long-distance friend so we could share.

4) Real Growth   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was more than pleasantly surprised hearing this album. JM is not standing still. For me, Stop This Train and Dreaming With A Broken Heart are standouts. But, the whole album is good or better.

5) Such A Sweet Sweet Album.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
There were standouts on John's previous material such as: Neon, Back To You, Only Heart, Why Georgia and Something's Missing,...but this album reveals not only some fine fine music, both in performance AND production but some very thought provoking and clever writing skills as well !!! This may be our next Eric Clapton !!!I can't wait for his next one !!!
