Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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.

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

- Slow Burning Beauty
"Slow Dancing In A burning Room"...Priceless.From the very first note my heartstrings were pulled.
One must hear it being sung by John (L.A.)to get the full affect behind every note... Not Since Barry White's "Whatever We Had, We Had", The Temptations' "Memories" or even Enya's "Evening Falls",have I felt such an embrace of the bittersweet taste of love and the joy of being alive to experience such human musical brilliance. Savor it...don't swollow just yet... As Barry put it, "...such sweet sorrow"
Thank you John Mayer. Your gift has made room for you and the rest of the world to enjoy. Priceless.

- Continuum...Love This Album
If you are a fan of John Mayer's, his 3rd album will not disappoint. Less
poppy; it is more mellow, jazzy and relaxing than his ealier work. His style here...a combination of poetic lyrics and breathy heart-felt singing is a bit reminiscent of female singer-songwritersNelly Furtado and Arrica Rose. My favorite track is "Vultures" and its fabulous harmonies.

- Stylish, well balanced guitar and vocal
John Mayer's guitar and vocals both are stylish, smooth, understated, controlled and hugely appealing. Mayer is among the best working today.

- Refined Calm and Gratifying
John Mayer is a talented musician, coming forth with a momentous blues flair. Mayer grasps a Stevie Ray Vaughan like vocal style, but manages to stray far enough to make his own unique writing style. While lyrically he isn't too impressive, the way the music and words swimmingly connect indubitably make up for it.

Guitar work is often subjected to speed equals talent. With "Continuum" one might realize the delicate, but rather tight guitar segments are works of art that require much consistency (something many guitarist lack). Pulsating rhythmic flows really add to the character of track 5 "The Heart of Life". One may already be familiar with the single
"Waiting On The World To Change" due to extensive airplay, none the less it remains a catchy radio staple. Many of the tracks feel fire place warm and inviting to the dismays the songs underline. The realizations and pictures in ones mind "Stop ... Read More
