| John Mayer's "Born and Raised"
I picked it up yesterday and I really like it and recommend it. But with Mayer, it seems like people really like his music or really dislike his music. There's not much of an in-between.
Anyone else heard the album? Thoughts?

| Really slow compared to previous albums. Good music though. I saw him in concert at the Fedex Forum in March of 2010.

I love it. Didn't really care for Battle Studies.

My favorites. He really needs to come out with a Trio studio album. I've been hoping to hear that for years. | |

| I listened to it once on spotify. Seemed slow, but decent.
I really like some of his stuff. Brilliant guitarist, just kind of a dork.
He hit on my wife while Jessica Simpson was with him when he was in Knoxville a few years ago. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Good song. I'm surprised by how much I'm liking this album. I was worried after hearing Shadow Days a couple of months ago. It's grown on me though. | |

| I like the album. His voice is less annoying than usual, and his guitar playing is more subtle than the other songs/albums I've heard, but still effective and appropriate. | |
