Hit: 4 Stars
The big handed John Meyer has grown up before our very ears. While he was a younger guitar godlet, his musical range (especially lyrically) was still that of a kid. He wanted to break away from that mold with his power trio album, Try! Live in Concert, it isn't until now that Mayer sounds like his own man. "Waiting For the World To Change" is the calling card, when he sings
"One day our generation
is gonna rule the population,
so we keep on waiting,
waiting on the world to change."
You can see the youthful kid become a more idealistic adult. And those "Clapton Jr" comments that have swirled around him? They are now 100% apt. Mayer is flowing his blues as naturally as they come. When he tackles Hendrix's "Bold As Love," you have to admire his guts. "Belief" and "Vultures" are mature songs that show a huge leap from Heavier Things, where his sound and lyrics are fully formed and beautiful.
His band, now under the core of bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan, mixes rock and blues, pop and jazz in a smooth and clear and cool finished CD. The dictionary defines continuum as "A continuous extent, succession, or whole, no part of which can be distinguished from neighboring parts except by arbitrary division" and the seamlessness of the 2008 model of John Mayer meets that definition. "Continuum" is the work of an artist approaching the peak of his powers, and rates as an album in the league of his older peers.

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 This Train" paints is memorable. While warm, the songs drift. Some songs feel dragged out or filler like, but it could be due to the slow pace. The album never fully utilizes a over drive, and has no need to.
The undeniable single coil blues driven guitar sound is there. The production quality and vocals there. Replay value their! The variety of songs offered is a handful of listening pleasure. 4/5
