Jared Wolfe of the Cornell Sun reviewed John Mayer’s latest effort ‘Heavier Things’, giving it 4 out of 5 stars. He writes, “This time around, Mayer has pulled a Dylan and pretty much abandoned his acoustic guitar in favor of an electric. What’s more, he has teamed up with producer Jack Joseph Puig, who has steered Mayer’s sound in a totally new direction — one in which faux-church organs and a Spectoresque wall-of-sound actually have a place in his songs. Mayer has written songs just as poignant and melodic as on ['Room For Squares'], but it is sometimes difficult to notice it underneath Puig’s slick and superfluous production. Fortunately, there is absolutely no filler on the album, and underneath the ‘heaviness’ of Puig’s production we find what made us fall in love with Mayer the first time around: the charming simplicity of his melodies and his introspective lyrics, now deeper than ever.” Read more.
