Our Review

As a much-respected young guitarist, John Mayer doesn’t rely on his guitar solos to get him through. To his credit, Mayer plays in service of the song. For his fourth studio album, 2009’s Battle Studies, Mayer settles into an adult-contemporary atmosphere where his youth is given a serious growing up. His sense of humor can he hunted down on the acoustic stoner shuffle “Who Says,” where he slyly jokes, “I don’t remember you looking any better / But then again, I don’t remember you.” But mostly, Mayer prefers the solemn tones of the U2 chime of “Heartbreak Warfare,” the Peter Gabriel ethereal moan of “All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye,” the Don Henley pop of “Perfectly Lonely” and the Elton John melody of “Assassin.”  His duet with country sweetheart Taylor Swift on “Half of My Heart” portrays him as a guy keeping an eye on his next stepping stone. “Crossroads” brings him back to the blues in time to turn it into near techno. “Edge of Desire,” “Do You Know Me” and “Friends, Lovers or Nothing” end things with a tender soft rock touch.

Not Continuum, but still good (4 stars)
With "Battle Studies" Mayer tries to go back to the well that produced the phenomenal success of Continuum. Utilizing war as a metaphor for romantic relationships, Mayer creates a semi-concept album that meanders through several different genres, yet abandons much of the blues blood that Mayer has worked hard to convince us courses through his veins. For me the standout tracks are "Perfectly Lonely" and "Crossroads

Perhaps a better album name: "Battle Studies" by @johncmayer (2 stars)
After the release of “Continuum” and his “Where The Light Is” Tour, I couldn’t help but get excited with John Mayer’s up and coming “Battle Studies,” but I found myself in mid-July uneasy with the progress of the album and by the time he released his single “Who Says,” a very anti-climactic and bland song to choose for a single, I was concerned with the possibility that this album was not going to be the album Continuum w

Mayer Strikes Again (5 stars)
I remember when John Mayer's career first began and I thought he was just another pop star (which he was at the time). But he is one of the few artists left in the business who gets increasingly better with age. Ever since he strayed away from his pop-icon-for-teenage-girls image and fully embraced his out of this world talent the music world has welcomed him with open arms, and for good reason. Continuum is one of my favorite albums of t

After making his introduction as a sensitive, acoustic-styled songwriter on 2001's Room for Squares, John Mayer steadily widened his approach over the subsequent years, encompassing everything from blues-rock to adult contemporary in the process. Arriving during the tail end of teen pop's heyday, he crafted pop music for a more discerning audience, spiking his songcraft with jazz chords and literate turns of phrase.
