Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
One of 2006's best albums!
Nelly Furtado may have been 2006's best new album but singer-songwriter John Mayer comes in 2nd with his album "Continuum." I love the hit single "Waiting On The World To Change" which should have been a bigger hit. At least he is having sucess with his hit single "Say." While he may be known right now for dating actress Jennifer Aniston, we often forget that he is a musician first. In this album Mayer gets right aside other artists and bands like Eric Clapton and Dave Matthews. This is a fun, laid-back listen. The single "Gravity" will have you singing along just like "Waiting On The World To Change." Every song is worth listening. John Mayer could be hailed as the best male singer right now (Sorry, Justin Timberlake!). Overall I would definately reccomend his most recent album "Continuum." I can't wait for another album from him!

"Love, Love, Love" Did I say Love? I do.
Not much to say here, except, this is by far, one of John's best works.
Great songs, great production, simply great!...
Love, Love, Love.
Thank you Mr. Mayer.

Nobody's Hero
Well Mr. Mayer believes that we should all put down our GH controllers and be like him. But who wants to be a loser?

Mayer's Masterstroke
The magic of John Mayer's music lies in the way how simple and easy to understand it is to an average listener, while keeping excellent quality that should satisfy even the most morose and sharp critics. It is no exaggeration to name "Continuum" not only one of the best albums of the decade, but also to demand ensuring it a place on TOP 100 lists of all time and adding John Mayer to Hall of Fame. I give such praise very rarely, here are my reasons:
1) songwriting is extra strong
2) every man can identify with lyrics, John Mayer is not playing too intellectual or sophisticated, yet the words are by no means trite
3) and maybe the most powerful side of the album are its instrumental performances and arrangements.
Mayer, an excellent guitar player (who else could cover Jimi Hendrix's "Bold As Love" profusely and not make it sound out-of-place on a breezy pop-blues album like this?) surrounded himself with a group of equally excellent musicians (e.g. Pino Palladino), giving each song its very own feel, making them uniformly beautiful, different from each other and at the same time wonderfully accessible.
Lyrical side is strong, too - while John's unassuming modesty encourages every listener to confide in him with his broken heart or joy in return, Mayer touches also on the worldwide events ("Waiting On A World To Change"), even doing it in an irresistible musical way (witness "Belief", one of the best-arranged tune of recent years). And when you think that the next song just cannot be so great as the previous one, comes the ballad "Dreaming With A Broken Heart" or a closer "I'm Gonna Find Another You", where a simple, light breakup tune is profoundly helped by a bluesy structure.
Thanks, John. This album should stay immortal.
