I’ve got all of Mayer’s albums. They all have different flavours. This ones in the title. Reflective and Chill. Nice to relax with on a sunny warm day in the shade. I like to listen to a whole album and this ones put together to do such!
His song writing is as solid as ever. Not a guitar shredding album but there’s plenty of him doing that online. Each track has some tasty soling and many a combination of acoustic strumming and sweet blues soloing. Some favourites are Shot in the Dark and Shouldn’t Matter But it Does.
Like all his work - it’ll grow on you and the songs will become ingrained in your brain :).

John e sua infindável arte de si reinventar!
Reviewed in Brazil on 26 September 2021Verified Purchase
Mesmo sabendo o teor do disco, a proposta pseudo-oitentista, o disco não deixa de ser inovador e moderno.
Um lado enxuto do John que é raro de ver. Muitos dos acordes fogem daquele John que faz o possível para não usar pestana e deixar o acorde aberto. Enfim, baita disco! Não é nem novidade eu recomendar!

Here's my excessively biased opinion...
Reviewed in the United States on 19 July 2021Verified Purchase
First, I'll come clean and say that I've been a die-hard Mayer fan for 20 years, and I can't imagine ever not loving one of his new albums... so you should take what I say with a big grain of salt. That confession out of the way... I'm just back from my weekend "away" with John's new album, and I'm in love! I'll preface my remarks by addressing the poopy heads who criticize him for slapping some previously-released singles onto the album... seriously? I mean, he produced a new album during a lockdown and world pandemic... can you people cut him no slack? Really! When he puts out an album of all NEW songs, people complain that they wish he'd put this or that random single on a studio album! I guess you really cannot ever please all the internet critics. Anyway... when I personally listen to the album from start to finish (which I always do when I first "meet" a new album), it's obvious to me why John included those songs on the album. They work beautifully together, so I'm sure that John chose them because their DNA fit the album, not just as "fillers."
I don't have too much to say about the new songs, as I'm just learning them. Yes, it's true that the album as a whole speaks to John's loss of love. He told us in TSFE that we could expect Volume 2, and here it is. If you live long enough, you will likely experience losing someone you really love and watching that person go off and have a baby with someone else... it's very painful. It's not something you just get over in 2 or 3 years. Lucky for us, John Mayer is one of the most gifted musicians in our world today, and he can turn that deep persistent pain into gorgeous music for us. He's done just that a few times before in the past two decades (cue his self-isolation at Paradise Valley for reasons that don't need mentioning), with masterpiece results.
Even before I heard the album, for some strange reason I knew that "Why You No Love Me" was going to be my favorite. I don't know why I knew this, but maybe I'm just so attuned to John's music now that I've developed superpowers around it. Ha. The first time I listened to it, I was blown away. It brought me back to my childhood bedroom in the 60s, listening to a new Beatles ballad for the first time. It's so beautiful and strange, like Norwegian Wood was the first time I heard it. When I heard that final chord, I said "Wow!" out loud. Since that first listen, I'm rather obsessed with it. Most people online seem to love best the Dire-Straitsy sound of "Wild Blue." That song is also quite beautiful and I can't help thinking of "Sultans of Swing" when I listen to it. My favorite lyric in the album (so far) is the last one in the song: "And you'll never know / The unlikely beauty in letting you go" - just a gorgeous lyric!
The rest of the new songs, I'm getting to know better. And as happens so many times with John's new songs, they are sneaking up on me all stealth-like. I don't always "get" his songs right away, but they always do click eventually. That's not to say that I don't get these particular songs yet, just that I've only listened to the album a few times so far and haven't yet analyzed more than a couple.
As always, John Mayer has created some beautiful melodies and lyrics, which is his forté. Having seen him in concert over 25 times, I have mad respect for the restraint he uses in his guitar playing on his studio albums. Every time a new album comes out, I hear people complaining that they want more guitar. This album is no exception. Don't get me wrong, I would certainly welcome an entire album of John wailing on his guitars. I've said for years that I'd love to see him make an all-instrumental album (wish he had during his "year of silence"). But alas, the formula that's made him the rock star he is today is putting out albums with restraint, and then rocking those songs out like complete fire on stage. I'm not going to complain about that formula, because I love going to see him rocking them out with his band/s. I have a feeling that the Sob Rock Tour is going to kick things up a notch. John is always full of surprises for his fans, and my gut tells me that he's got something special planned for our next musical get-together. Just hoping that the new COVID flares don't force him to cancel the tour, because I miss him and need to see him.
Give me a little more time to get to know this album, and I just might say more. For now, I'll just say that I'm grateful to have new music from John Mayer. It's been four years since TSFE and I've really been craving this. For many reasons, this album hitting my devices has made me feel a little bit normal again. When the actual CD hit my doorstep this weekend and I could look at the liner notes, I was like a kid on Christmas morn. Thanks for that, JM.
