In
the Continuum album John Mayer continues to demonstrate his impressive guitar chops, a more mature songwriting style, and a richer, deeper sound. The material here as well as the overall sound and timbre easily trumps a majority of Mayer's earlier and previously best material. I am glad to see the virtuosic Mayer (where his guitar chops are concerned) actually embrace the blues-side of rock and venture out in a direction that showcases that bluesy-soulful influence. If nothing else, Mayer's Continuum is easily Mayer's most soulful LP. Highlights include the beautifully simple, "
Waiting on the World to Change" and the touching "Gravity."
