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

John Mayer's third studio album follows the multi-platinum "Room for Squares" (2001) and "Heavier Things" (2003), and marks his first turn as producer. It is his most soulful, cohesive collection yet and he says it's no accident that this project is where all of his efforts, his potential, and his disparate influences fully come together.

 Continuum....Review....! December 30, 2008
Continuum......n...A continuous whole quality , or series ; thing whose parts cannot be separated or separately discerned .
Another great Album by John Mayer....for sure . He's got a lot of talent , and will be around the music business for many years to come . I have to admit.....I was a bit disappointed , with this Album.....oh don't get me wrong . He's very satisfying to listen to . But....I received this album for Christmas.... . I also have his album " Where The Light Is " . Nine out of the thirteen tracks on " Continuum " ....are duplications of those same tracks from " Where The Light Is " . Only difference , one is " live " one is studio recorded . I was looking for something new....from John , in the way of titles .
Great Record December 28, 2008

My roomate introduced me to John Mayer's music a couple of year's ago and this was the first record she played for me. It is wonderful - he is an amazing guitar player and songwriter and is one of my favorites. Though everyone knows "Change The World" one of my favorite songs is "Belief" and its lyrics.
The best of John Mayer December 21, 2008

I really love this CD. The best songs, of course, are "Say" and "Change the World" but most of the other songs are very enjoyable also.
I LOVE THIS CD! December 14, 2008

I bought the CD for a few of the better known songs and now am in love with the lesser known ones. This is a great CD at a great price!
Even if you aren't into 'You're Body is a Wonderland' December 12, 2008
I can tolerate John Mayer's earlier hits more than the other junk that's on the radio, but I never bought any of his earlier albums. As soon as I heard 'Waiting On the World To Change' I went out and bought this album straightaway. It helped that he started appearing in music magazine's top guitarists lists... and I feel like this album is the kind of music that he wanted to make when he started all this. He wrote those cute poppy numbers to be able to get to a place where he could write this new music. He has managed to combine his pop/singer-songwriter stuff with blues, to make a really great album that I think would appeal to both crowds. People joke when they hear I like him, but hey, he is a REALLY talented musician and it's time that those of us that value that start paying attention to him.
