If this is actually the pick, I may cancel my Essentials and go exclusively to Classics only.

Hey Kyuuji, wassup!?
Awesome job finding out what the Essentials ROTM is! Gonna dig into this John Mayer album and see how I feel?
Do you like John Mayer’s “Continuum”?
i didn't really care about any of the months, its too much stax, too much old soul and jazz, it just isn't my very specific interest, its better than john "sexual napalm" mayer but still
i can't sit through it... i tried listening to it multiple times... halfway through i get tired of it, maybe because i already listened to the first half so much, maybe because i just am not into skits, maybe because prince paul was great on de la soul is dead but i am not a big fan of his production in the long term compared to other producers, i just dont click with it

This is the worst pick in a while, but I guess I can see why they picked it. Not a fan of the Prince Paul album either, too many skits for me to get through on wax.
because they are 30 something white boys who used to be frat bros who unironically like the white guy with acoustic guitar genre (aka.. bro folk)

Christ, imagine thinking of all the great albums that came out in 2006 and then being told that it's John fucking Mayer and that it's Essential
jesus. lol. this is like a bullshit burrito

I never got the impression that they had a Ryan Adams album lined up. I was in the club around the time that broke, was a massive fan before that and their forum was still up to dangle the carrot.
its a list based on don’t touch if controversial and storf doesn’t like them, whether a faux pas excludes acts he likes is a much less clear situation...

His cover of Bold as Love is actually alright. The guitar work is fantastic if nothing else.
That being said, the album can stay in my moms car, circa 2007, and never resurface for me to listen to.

Fair enough! I totally get that it isn’t your general interest! It’s better to get something you know you’ll love spinning!
Mmmmmm I see where you’re coming from! Half the tracks are skits so it’s not an album you can just play in the background! Can definitely understand why you felt tired halfway through the listen!

I will give John Mayer the fact that he has come a long way from his comments, which were horrible, and has been pretty humble about things since joining up with Dead and Company.
Haven't listened to this album since probably 2006, but I am in.

I think they teased an exclusive of his now-cancelled album.
sadly too much of hearing the white as fuck corny "wow the world is happy" waiting on the world to change on the radio as a kid because fuck it my mom was a fan (she was also a fan of daughtry so dont get her hopes too high up but tbf her favorite artist is george michael). i just immediately am sick of it and want to throw it in the toilet
But nothing followed through to pre-order or even close, it had been up for at least a month in multiple variants before the label pulled it.

It was like every color in the rainbow. I remember mass cancellations everywhere.

How are you? I hope you've been well 
Sorry it's been a bit
. The world events knocked my bounce a little bit and then anxiety kept me from coming back in that "I haven't texted them back and now I can't" way. It sucks. Glad this gave excuse to break through it though 
. Unfortunately my turntable has suddenly stopped working though so no more spinning until that gets sorted 
. Was lovely while it lasted! I'll just have to do what I was doing before and pester the Fresh Grabs thread 
I used to listen to John Mayer a lot a number of years ago and really enjoyed a number of his albums, one of which was Continuum. My only recent flings have been liking "In The Blood" a fair bit and liking that he spoke out in support of trans rights
. Haven't kept apprised of him outside of those run-ins though, and it's disappointing to hear he seems to have support for, or ties to, the right (?) from comments here.

Well if 2020 is teaching lessons, the idea that making judgements based outward appearance is maybe a bad way to go might be near top the list.
But if you gave it a listen and don’t like it - ok.
