John Mayer's new album, Paradise Valley.
Had this in the car the whole weekend and..... I don't know. Not bad, but not really good either. "Frustrating" would be a good description I think.
It's like, say you know a three star Michelin chef - but everytime he invites you for dinner he only serves you a peanut butter and jam sandwhich. Might be a great sarmie as far as sarmies go, but really, is that it? You have the skills to make my tastebuds cry from joy but instead you serve me a blerrie pb&j sandwich..... ???
I hear what you are saying Chris, although peanut butter and jam sandwich is most probably my favourite food ? So I wouldn't mind if Mayer dished out some of those....
His previous album 'Born and Raised' also was pretty mundane, but then I saw him performing some of the songs from the album live with just voice and guitar and it was good stuff. So I don't know if he over does the production in the studio.
Here is the Album version
