Continuum is just the current stage in Mayer's trip, but he has taken a big step toward finding himself. As he sings on "In Repair," "I'm never really ready . . . /I'm not together, but I'm getting there."

The 28-year-old Mayer takes the next step in his musical evolution with the aptly titled Continuum, his least forced and most soulful set to date.

His self-produced third album, Continuum, is a John Mayer record par excellence: taut, melodic, well sung, impeccably played...and deadly dull.

Give him the Grammy already. This album is an A+! I'm grading the songs on the sex scale: I Don't Trust Myself with Loving You is pure foreplay. Gravity is guaranteed to result in serious sex. Way to go John! |

I think this is a very good album he reall brings a new sound that you kind of heard with the trio. He is really starting to find himslef i think you can tell through the music. Lots of credit for throwing in the hendrix track but when are we gonna see him cover SRV. |

I absolutely love this album. Don't judge it after listening to it once...listen to it a few times first. Give it a chance. I'd say my favorite song is "Slowdancing in a burning room... (#8) definitely listen to that one... |

I am honored to be a fan of John Mayer. He is a brillantly talented musician who has just now produced his best album yet. I could not be happier with the results. The rhythm is amazing and the lyrics are beautifully written. I absolutely love this CD and I highly recommend that everyone gives Continuum a try! |

This record is not over produced and its obvious that John didn't have to fight to keep it the way he wanted it during the recording process. The mellow, melodic and bluesy riffs put you in a groove that can set your whole day right. It's not a hurried record but rather lets the listener relax and enjoy John's voice and amazing sense of melody. The musicians are top notch and know how to carry a vibe. This record should have a whole lot of awards coming at it for sure. |

John Mayer has accomplished an impossible feat. You feel his music, not just hear it. It is not just good lyrics. It is not just good music. This CD reaches me on a deeper level than anything else. It is a perfect combonation of heart and soul. Continuum is something beautiful. |

This album is just great. I really dont have the words to describe its superiority. John Mayer can really compose - the lyrics are so profound. I like every track to bits. Every song evokes different emotions and you can really feel what he wants to portray. My favourites are Stop This Train, Dreaming with A Broken Heart, Bold as Love ... you know what .. |

Continuum surpasses any expectations a hard core JM fan may have had. It becomes an obsession and affects you to your very soul. Every track/lyric is better than the last. The only thing better is to see the Mayer in concert. It takes your breathe away. His talent as a singer/song writer/guitarist is timeless. Stunning! |

his soul music has been unparalleled since song like led zeppelins "since ive been loving you" was debuted. his creativity has not only put me into peace many afternoons, but it has also shown me a new kind of soul music that can only be outdone by the likes of SRV, Page, and clapton. Maybe overrating, but this album speaks volume to the growth in mayer and his music over the past decade. |

It's great to hear Mayer play music that he's always wanted to play, instead of the mainstream pop that the media feasts on. His voice has matured, but his guitar is really what steals the show here. Listen to "Bold As Love" and you realize that he's more than enough to keep up with the legends. |

I'd give this brilliant album a 9.5 if I could. Even a 9.75. But I can't bring myself to give an album a 10 (though I concede that it deserves it). I never would have considered myself a Mayer fan until I heard the album and (more importantly) let it stew. Mayer uses his significant (yet understated) songwriting abilities to get your attention and then hooks you with his much heralded guitar genius. Get this album. You will thank yourself. And, if you have the opportunity, see him live. I fully believe that the studio version of John Mayer pales in comparison to the intense performance he gives in person. |

His best album yet, definitely. John is the single best guitarist in todays music. Oh, and John is following the roots of blues, not metal. So, no SRV, man. And he's been doing Hendrix for like, what? 3 years, now? |

By far, JM's BEST album. I can't ever get sick of it. Went to see him in OKC and he rocked the house, not to mention he's hilarious. But I think this John Mayer is less like the John Mayer we saw in the beginning. His music has grown and matured with him and that's what I admrie about this CD. It's not just cheesy lovesongs anymore, its about life, and being scared and being bold. Like the song says, "I'm bold as love..." Hnoestly, if you didn't rate this a 10, you don't know much about music. |

John mayer is my favorite artist yet, sure you can listen to any artist and get good lyrics. but if you were to to take john and line him up with any 5 chart toppers to today, he would definately seporate himself from the competition. I think its that way because people relate to not only whats on his mind but whats in his heart atlaest I do. And I applaud him for keeping it real. Any way the album says all that and more. JM ROX |

Continuum is by far the most innovative album Mayer has strung together in his entire career. He has come a long way from his 'No Such Thing' days, and has finally found where he stands as a musician, as an artist, as a man. The Grammy floated right over Timberlake to John for a reason; this album is Mayer at his best. |

Continuum is proof that John Mayer is not like most of the artists out there today in the mainstream. The guy can sing and play amazingly well and he has a purpose and reason for playing. His lyrics are inspiring and his heart is in this world with political issues etc. My favorite songs would be Belief, Bold As Love, and Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, but this is one of the only albums I have ever bought where I have liked every song on it...thanks John for showing people the real meaning of "music" again |

This is the best CD of the year, it's deep lyrics actually have a deeper meaning than what you hear and the amazing guitar riffs to go along make it great. Its not a CD you will skip around on either all 12 songs are amazing and you don't want to change from one to another, you can just listen to all of them. |

With this album you can relax, put it in, turn it down and flop on the counch with a good book. Or you can hype yourself up, get in your car, pop it in, turn it up and just drive. Singing along of course. John Mayor is amazing artist and will reel you in, again and again and another time for good measures. You'll enjoy "Continuum" |

This was the first John Mayer album I have ever purchased. I saw the advertising for this album in a commercial and something told me to go pick up this album. He is one of the most talented and creative artist i have ever listened to. This album has had an immense impact on me and got me into blues music also. Since the day I brought this album I also picked up all of his older records since. Over each of his albums he has steadily improved. One can listen to this without skipping any songs. His music is just so inspiring! |
