Continuum, the 2006 release by John Mayer, begins with "Waiting On The World To Change", which has never been one of my favorite songs. The song is a justification of passivity and isn't very interesting, but it doesn't set the tone for the rest of the album. There are several stellar tracks on Continuum (three of the first five, in fact), the first of which is "I Don't Trust Myself (Loving You)", which has a nice groove to it and excellent soft horns near the end. I found the lyrics to the next song, "Belief", thought-provoking and the song itself to be a compelling listen due to the chorus and the guitar. Other standout songs include the quieter "The Heart of Life" and "In Repair", which features a solid jam. Overall, Continuum is highly recommended for finely honed and thoughtful song-writing, and solid guitar work.
