The album sounds ok from what I've heard so far, but I hate "Bigger than my Body." That song just sucks -- sounds massively overproduced.
All said, I don't really like the direction JM is taking, but that's because I think he's more talented than the music he's making right now. He's a great guitarist and a decent vocalist, but I don't really think this album showcases it.

im in the music video for btmb. im a pretty big fan of john mayer for his acoustic stuff which there is a lot of.
i havent listened to the new album yet but bigger than my body to me isnt a very good song.

picked it up this afternoon and love it... as JohnCU said, the "Tracing" song doesnt really describe the theme of the album... "Tracing" really fits his old style of complex acoustically driven songs, with optional band support. his new album has simpler guitar chords that are meant to fit with a full band.
he did a great job of explaining this shift and the reasons behind it in his NPR interview. theres a link to the recording of the interview at the top of that page.
my only real complaint is Come Back to Bed... the live version is sooooo much better, not just because of the extra jamming and energy, but because it lacks those horrible saxes... i would really like to know wtf he was thinking when they did that:brokenheart:
but the rest of the album is great... i highly recommend it

I love the extended jam sessions on Any Given Thursday. My GF loves JM, but hates the instrumental portions of the CD. We were driving in the car the other day and I was jamming to the instrumental part of Covered in Rain and she FLIPPED TO THE NEXT TRACK:| Oh man was I pissed, but I held it in

OMG!! I about lost it. I started gripping the steering wheel REAL hard, then I just looked at her and smiled and said "I see you got tired of hearing his solo" to which she replied "Why can't he just get to the damn words"

This interview is damned good. And you're right Oscar, it does explain his change in rythm.
I was just grinning from ear to ear when he was talking about how Room for Squares was all about movin' movin' movin' and he started laying down pieces from each song from that album

JM is awesome, i got his albums and his dvd. hmm... heavier things is not as good as RFS tho. I think i still like RFS better.
oh, btw, where do you guys get the acoustic versions of the songs from heavier things? please let me know asap!
John has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. I'm not a huge fan of his music. I wouldnt go buy his CD's, but man his voice could just melt me.
LOL. No one is in Dave Matthews league b/c he is so f'ing terrible. I would rather watch paint dry than endure an album of that pompous dick.
Edit: JM sucks ball$ also.

you have to put the cd in your computer, then (if it doesnt autostart) you double click the CDExtra.exe on the cd, then click the star icon which will bring you to a site that lets you sign in and view the videos of the acoustic versions of clarity and come back to bed.
glad to see people have an open mind about music here...
