Now if that doesn't make you look in the mirror and question who you are and the world we live in, well you just are not hearing this young man’s message.
Mayer’s guitar playing is clean, sharp, and biting all at the same time. His vocal style is relaxed yet very effective because of the way he brings each word from his toes to his lips; it all comes rolling out with meaning, like something he holds very close to his heart. I especially enjoyed the irresistible hooks and rhythms of “Vulture.” And oh the words, my oh my does it hit you square between the eyes. This album is so good you could choose any one of these tracks and make it a single and it would zoom up the charts. Yes, it's that good.
Continuum is a true classic of our time, a sparkling and memorable production that deserves all the gushing and media attention it has been receiving and will continue to get many years from now. John Mayer arrived a few years ago but this time out he has made a statement that he is here to stay and expect more of the same in the future. As we are waiting for the world to change, we can listen to good music and do our part to change it.

"Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" is my favorite track, but there is no question for me that this is his best album yet and one of the best albums of the year.
