heartbreak warfare,
perfectly lonely,
war of my life,
half of my heart,
all we ever do is say goodbye.

They look like, and in turn sound like boring mid 90s ballads. Does the unimaginably arrogant John Mayer really expect us to buy into this facade? It’s ridiculous. Continuum was a masterpiece. It really was. The melodies and the lyrics had so much depth and a lot of the tunes sounded like classic tracks from the 70s. Stop This Train is perfect.

And who said this? “it is a shame artists such as John Mayer, with actual talent, are not wreaking the benefits of putting out a great album” Do you honestly think John Mayer is not benefitting from all of this? He is a multi multi millionaire. Now that’s not to excuse illegal downloading, but artists such as himself make all their money from touring. I buy CDs to have a physical representation of what I’m listening to, not out of respect for the artist, most of it ends up in the legal sectors of labels. Radiohead released their latest album digitally for free essentially and it still hit number 1 almost everywhere it was released physically. MP3s don’t exist. It makes me angry we pay for something that could be wiped by some magnetic field or glitch at any second.

I also support the music industry in other ways, I go to 2 or 3 gigs a week. And it could be said if John Mayer wants to charge me £50 to see him play for 2 hours, i could either do that or buy his whole back catalogue. It all evens out in the end.

This isn’t blues, this is pop. He’s butchered the concept of blues so heavily now it would be an offence to validate this incarnation.
