"There's no doubting the man's chops. Battle Studies is a real study in craftsmanship and understated guitar ninja-dom, and musos will thrill to Mayer's deconstruction of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads." But the solemnity is suffocating." rollingstone.com
Bible belt -- Diane Birch POPULAR
"Bible Belt percolates an earthy warmth with songs trimmed in the familiar tones of old Wurlitzers, buttery New Orleans bass lines, twangy guitars, and a soulfully inviting voice that pulls from Laura Nyro’s penchant for putting a womanly groove into a melancholy tune." itunes.com
Full circle -- Creed POPULAR
"Creed's first album since 2001 ... Despite half a decade apart, Creed still has that deep understanding of each other’s ability to be able to explore their full range of old." angryape.com
Planet country -- Lee Kernaghan COUNTRY
""People like us" is a dedication to nurses and truckies, title track "Planet Country" is a call to arms for country people everywhere. Overall another excellent album firmly cementing the King back in his throne!" abc.net.au
Soulbook -- Rod Stewart POPULAR
"On his sixth straight album of cover versions, Stewart finally reaches the era and style that defines his musical identity. His affection for the material is obvious, although over-familiarity with these Sixties and Seventies soul classics suggests upmarket karaoke." telegraph.co.uk
The circle -- Bon Jovi POPULAR
"Bon Jovi fans who have not been put off by recent output will find plenty to love here. The band long ago developed into a slick, stadium-filling act, and although this album marks a slight return to their more traditional rock roots , not much has changed." bbc.co.uk
The fall -- Norah Jones JAZZ
"Thanks to the involvement of folks like Ryan Adams (who cowrote one song) and Kings of Leon producer Jacquire King, The Fall has been billed as Norah Jones' rock album. In fact, it's something even more surprising: a hot-blooded soul record from the queen of the even keel." spin.com
