VIMTV Episode #19: John Mayer – Battle Studies

Jake: Not Recommended, 65/100

Tom: Recommended, 70/100

Overview: For his fourth major release, John Mayer cuts back on the jazzy instrumental jams and focuses on the pop songwriting. The songs tread more into the adult contemporary genre, and they’re pretty good, but drag on a little long at times. Good album, but certainly doesn’t live up to his previous work.
