Awesome Album
Any John Mayer fan must have this album and the video was pretty cool too.


Not for me!
I actually liked only about 2 songs on this CD. . .
I gave it to someone that loves John Mayer and actually
likes the fact you cannot understand a single lyric he
is singing!!! LOL.


Great songs to relate and reminisce to. What else to expect from my favorite Libra EVER??? 4.6 stars.
No Such Thing*****
2. 1. Why Georgia****
3. My Stupid Mouth****1/2
4. Your Body Is a Wonderland****

4. 596 = 4. 6

4. 6 stars.


Surround mix sounds weird
1 surround, but I was expecting the mixes to be similar to the ones on "Heavier Things". I loved that they also released this album in 5.

It starts great until it reaches "Neon". Seems to me that some elements of the song are missing (or mixed way too low), like a synth that you hear on the chorus (of the stereo mix).
And 3x5 is even more weird, with a two-note plucking acoustic guitar loop that is (intentionally) burried on the stereo mix here is mixed louder on one of the sides and it's distracting.

I still think it's worth buying because of the songs that DON'T sound strange on the surround mix and the video bonus.


Great Album - not iPod Friendly
That's because, as I gather, I have iTunes installed and apparently it doesn't like iPods. I love this album, but was really disappointed that my CD-Rom Drive in my computer won't even recognize the audio side of the album. So for that, I give the Dual Disc 1 star. I don't see why I cannot enjoy the tunes I buy in a format (or device) of my choice.

I did like the DVD featurette of John's home video of recording the album/touring/about to hit it big. A nice time capsule.
