Any thoughts on John Mayer's new album? I am a big fan, and of course enjoy the record; but would would love to hear some feedback. My main reason for posting is that I feel John Mayer is one of the few artists out there where high musicianship and good guitar playing are a priority for a pop artist. Norah Jones and others prioritize this as well, but John Mayer I feel in many ways leads the forefront on writing great pop songs with equally as good guitar playing and musicianship. I would like to consider him the Eric Clapton of a new generation.

So, let's hear it; any and all commentary is welcome. Love it? Hate it? I would say it is unfair to compare it to CONTINUUM; his last record, but I am happy to hear any and all thoughts.

Fire Away!
