I don't know what to say since I haven't heard the cd, which is why I left this with a three stars. John Mayer is an incredible talent, possibly the future of the blues, and Continuum is arguable his best album. That being said, for the large part of North America who already owns the album (the album sold many copies in both the US and Canada) this is another crappy record company exploitation scheme. Again encouraging people to start downloading.
