We still won't be moving to the new Building today. A sense of urgency is what we lack. The whole installation process is under some big 'red tape' in need for some approvals or something. It's a whole exodus of an entire project team from one location to another come on get the setups ready and then work on gathering the approvals and licences.
Battle Studies, John Mayers latest new album. I'm a big fan, I like that raspy sound of his, the way he arranges his music and his guitar. GwaaaD!!! he's good with his guitar, he's not like those metal band guitarist guys. he's more of your Clapton kinda guitarist. There's hoards of similarities in their styles and the music they offer. I've heard all three of his previous offerings. 'CONTINUUM' being my favorite.
Now about Battle Studies, well it's not that bad, but when you compare it with 'CONTINUUM' it's not that great. It's no-where near great. Most of the tracks are titled with battle terms and stuff, like 'Assasins', 'War of my life' and 'Heartbreak warfare'. It's like those very typical tracks of his. Love is the prominent theme in most of the tracks. When you hear it for the first time you even feel like it sounds just the same like his tracks from 'Room for squares'. All of them slow numbers, with not much of a variation in music or the vocals. There also is this cover of 'Crossroads' by 'Cream' in this album, a good cover might I add. So you could just tag all these songs as 'easy listening' and just loop it once of twice. Not one of the 'must have' John Mayer albums I must say. You could just stream this on the net and leave it. I guess John has lost it this time, maybe it's because he's a bit distracted from what he does best. Seems to be focusing more on chasing girls these days.
Verdict:
Favourite tracks: 'Who Says', 'Crossroads' (cover from Cream) and 'Half of my heart'
Buy or Stream: Stream
