    I think the CD RFS is great. John Mayer is definitely an under appreciated new talent. He is singing, writing & performing from the heart… and yes I said – writing. ½ of the artist today don’t know what “writing” means ...because they aren’t the ones writing their music! If you think he is JUST recycling old material then you must not have any artistic bones in your body. It takes times to write and produce a CD that is meaningful – I am sure he could produce a CD every 6 months (like some people do) if he wants to diminish the quality of he’s work and sound, but why would a true artist do that? I saw his concert last night and he does have a new CD coming soon as his fans already know. As for mistaking him for DMB – you say that like it is a bad thing. DMB is another band that embodies amazing musical skills – I think the problem is that some people (stega1) are so fixated the fact that DMB obviously had the recognition of this type of sound first, that you then see John Mayer as being a knockoff instead of seeing talent for what it’s worth.To anyone who denies his talent (you don’t necessarily have to like his style or message to see that he along with his musicians are talented) question - Can you play the Guitar (or any instrument)? Do you write your own music? If so then think of the groups that influenced you and I am sure in some way shape or form you resemble them as well. because everyone resembles someone to a certain extent! Music has been around too long to not resemble someone else!It was good to read the thoughts of others. Peace. Read more Less

    The best male album i have bought

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 13, 2002 | 1 out of 1 found this Room for Squares review helpful

    I was totally enamoured by the song "No Such Thing" that I craved it. He mixes so many different genres to create a sound that is totally his own. I bought this cd without hearing anything else off of it and was totally surprised and pleased. His sou...nd does remind me a little of Dave Matthews but they are totally different! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Room for Squares

  • All Music Guide

    Two years after his full-length debut, Inside Wants Out, singer/songwriter and guitarist John Mayer recorded this sophomore offering, Room for Squares. The album was produced by John Alagía. The producer had worked with artist Dave Matthews on a few albums first and those influences show through clearly on this recording, taking it in a somewhat different direction than Mayer's first, and mostly acoustic, release. There are 13 tracks on Room for Squares. Mayer wrote or co-wrote all of the songs. He does a decent job performing them, but many of the numbers show a singer who hasn't quite reached his zenith. The talent is there and with time to find himself and his own style and voice -- instead of Dave Matthews' -- the rest will fall into place. Still, this album is one that Mayer fans won't wish to pass over. It does have more than enough strong points to make it worthwhile.
