I'm not really feeling "Who Says" either. It's definitely his worst lead single to date. I'm still excited about his album.

@ the hate for Who Says! It's probably my favorite JM lead single yet. There is beauty and charm in its simplicity and I love the lyrics.

Really? Over "No Such Thing" and "Waiting on the World to Change?" I mean it's not terrible but it's not in the league of those, IMO.

Who says might not be that great but I dont think it will ruin him.. I just signed up for a contest where they fly you to New York to meet him and go to his concert and report from it on tv.. I'm so psyched! Heres the contest info so everyone can have a chance to win.. fuse.tv/ontv/shows/john-mayer/contest.html

Really looking forward to his new record aye. Loved Continuum + the DVD's, particularly the trio. Mayer is the man.

What's the song called he's doing with Taylor Swift? I assume it'll be a single at some point.

I can't wait for this, I loved his other three albums, this one should be amazing. I didn't even know he had three other live albums.

Loving the new album, "Who Says" sounds great on the album. It is very cohesive and the simplicity is awesome.

I'm pleased with the album. I don't like it as much as Continuum but I like it more than I thought I would based on the snippets I heard. :)

I am loving the song Assassin! This new album is great! I wonder how it is going to sound live.. I keep seeing this ad that says Fuse Tv is going to be showing his concert on tv tomorrow night. And he will be singing songs from this album! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSL2d8spV-w

The album is a grower but I'm loving it already! Heartbreak Warfare and Half of My Heart are early favorites!

The clips were spellbinding. This will probably either be my fave of his or 2nd after Continuum.

Edge of Desire is just... I literally have no words. I just want to curl up in a ball and not move. That song makes me need therapy, honestly. Song of the Year.

I need a few more listens before I can say which songs are my favorite/least favorite, but these are a few cuts I really dig right now:
Crossroads Edge Of Desire All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye Perfectly Lonely Who Says Heartbreak Warfare
"Half Of My Heart (Featuring Taylor Swift)" is the only song I can not stand right now and probaby won't like anytime soon...

Half Of My Heart...I don't really care about that song and Taylor adds NOTHING. Surprise, surprise...Edge Of Desire is my favorite followed by Perfectly Lonely. Then, Who Says and Heartbreak Warfare.
