John Mayer - Heavier Things

Is this title supposed to be ironic? John Mayer is a guy who seems to know how his instrument works and claims he was influenced by blues musicians. Don’t really want to get too far into the habit of quoting Storm but: there are no balls to this music. It’s also brickwalled to the max. It’s pleasant, but pleasant doesn’t necessarily mean good. Interesting is good and there’s not very much challenging to this album.

In fact I’m just going to say it: This is an ungood listen. It’s boring in its politeness, which sucks considering he can play so well.
