Battle Studies

John Mayer's New CD "Battle Studies"

Just right off the bat, not the greatest cd he's ever released.
In a technical and musical aspect, this cd could've been so much greater
especially when compared to his past works. However, wikipedia was right,
this cd is a "fresh" approach to mayer's music. very similar to his first album,
its very pop, very very little blues/ jazz progressions. many of the songs sound
the same, and he incorporates triggers for the first time (drum beats and repeated
drums). His lyrical writing is superb (as always). The cd is "ok" so far. We'll see
what else i discover throughout the "battle studies" adventure.

rating: 8/10
