John Mayer - Battle Studies (2009) New Album


I must say that after the Continuum and the live Last year "Where the Light Is" one of my favorite albums, whether it was still on vinyl I would have eaten, where there had been a change in the trend of the artist from his "Pop / rock / blues" to the blues, especially Songs made with the trio, looking forward to this new job.

I wanted to see whether changes Rock to the Blues with grain would go further improving the quality of this artist ultimately defined not by chance that the new Clapton especially for his skill and similarities English guitar icon.

Well I must say the disappointment is so great, I heard a couple of times to make sure that I was in a sort of head injury on the first listen, but I have to say that a third time, I can not inclined to listen, so Pop songs and little or nothing blues and just a couple of songs really up to previous work in the studio, I'm afraid I've lost the chance to finally evolve, or maybe I just do not understand it because it's just jumped in head the classification Billboard's rock albums in the U.S..

pieces that deserve to be heard and identified the 'Half Of My Heart, "" Perfectly lonely, "" Edge of Desire "the rest is really all garbage, and does not withstand even the cover of" Crossroads "by Robert Johnson we had great versions made by Clapton with Cream and alone.

Then if we make a final comment is that sometimes an artist to rise to the top and be successful living on a couple of excellent album and a great promotion or image, and I hope this is not the case with Mayer on his young age and that the disc is just a hiccup, but there are artists / guitarists Blues / Rock who have churned out works much better Dear one after the other as Joe Bonamassa Gary Moore or but do not have the same luck of sales and reputation, especially in Italy, unfortunately.
