John Mayer - Battle Studies

At times a bit too introspective and vhimsical, but vhen Mayer hits the right notes, he really hits the right notes. Sadly vhat most of vhat this record is comprised of though, his die hard fans vill swoon over and love, but as 4 drawing in nev fans or people on the fence about music, he wont see much of a Continuum.

Keith Richards - Talk Is Cheap

Keith has 3 near classic rock songs here, namely "Take It So Hard", vhich is a reach out and grab ya guitar god riff. Also "How I Wish", which is just plain fun, and "Whip It Up" which if produced better could again stand on it's own. I love Keith, but he lacks the overall polish that makes good songs great

Bon Jovi - The Circle

While the tracks are not bad, by the end they start to sound the same. What Bon Jovi did good in most of his other records is the variety of different tracks throughout the record. In The Circle every song sticks to a classik rocking rhythm, which on it's own is not bad, but the bar has been set and Bon Jovi didn't quite make it.
