Having listened, in absolute joy, to the ‘Try!’ album,’ I think that playing live is what JM was born to do. And I don’t think any of his other records touch it. There’s a reckless abandon in his playing that just shines, without for a moment making it sound sloppy or unconsidered. It’s so obvious that he’s enjoying himself, there’s so much energy to it. And that’s great fun to listen to.

But I think the good stuff on ‘Continuum’ is really good and the sort of thing that people will still be listening to in thirty years time, happy that they’ve discovered it all over again. I could live without ‘The Heart of Life’ track but I get why he wanted it on the album. I found his lyrics before I ever heard his music and I loved how he told stories with his songs. Musically, it’s the little touches that he’s added, that you wouldn’t necessarily pick up on in the first sitting, that make this, over all, a genuine pleasure to listen to.

I bought this album HAVINGNOOOOCLUE and now I cant stop listening… it is truly addictive! He has these lyrics that are so honest and sweet. I love the vibe on this cd, the actual music just seeps into your skin… haha i was singing “i dont trust myself (with loving you)” all day the beat/melody was stuck in my head… DID I MENTION I LOVETHELYRICS!! I cant get enough of this CD! I feel like his voice just travels through my veins making every inch of me feel soooo good and relaxed. YOUMUSTMUST give this a chance YOUWONT be dissapointed.

“Who do you love me or the thought of me? me or the thought of me?”

John’s BEST album yet! If you haven’t gotten it, run and get it now!
