I really liked Mayer's first two albums, and while this is undoubtedly good stuff, it's not as catchy, and will take a little while longer to sink in. Not quite what I wanted, and I'm, not sure I'll have the patience to listen to it enough to see if it's something I'll end up really liking. He's apparently trying to do depper into blues and avoid the lighter pop that has been so successful for him, but that's sort of what I liked.
