Mayer is churning these out pretty quickly. One of the more popular tracks from Battle Studies gets visual aid, and it’s another live-based effort. I think I prefer this video (not the song though) to the Heartbreak Warfare video as it’s not just a live performance, but other bits from the tour too. Worth a watch. Check out the audio for an acoustic version of this track here. Probably the best track from Battle Studies gets some video time. Given that the track is awesome, I’d hoped for a little more than a live performance video, but I’ll take it (although the audio for the song is the album audio, and not that of the live gig). If you want to watch him perform this live, click here for a performance from February. You can also get the audio at that link if you don’t already have it. Haven’t watched this yet due to a rather important football (soccer for you Americans) game going on right now. However, it’s halftime so I won’t hold it back from those of you who aren’t watching it. Looking forward to checking this out though, and you can grab the audio/the full mixtape here.
Bishop Lamont brings some personal lyrics to this one, a marked change to his usual content, and it’s pretty good stuff. Nice stories told throughout, and definitely a good display of ability. John Mayer’s hook is awesome as you’d expect, and makes this track very good. One of the better songs I’ve heard recently, and one everyone really needs to check out.
This has the exact same hook, and appears to be destined for Rhymefest’s upcoming El Che album, and will definitely appear on his upcoming mixtape. The production has changed, and I’m not sure if it’s better than the Wale version in that sense, but the verses are just as good and this is definitely one worth checking out if you liked the previous version. I honestly and truthfully completely love this song. It was one of my favourite songs of 2009, and I still play it all the time. Mayer performs it really well, and I’m surprised at how well everything sounds in this performance. It’s in glorious HD too, so it’s a treat for nearly all of the senses. Be sure to do your ears more favours and grab the .mp3 of the original. Fans of alternative and/or mellow music need this. You’re here to be eclectic, not narrow.
Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.
I need to stop having to resort to multiple track-filled posts and post this sh*t up when I get it, like I used to. Bad habits eh?
Right, onto this post: I get through a lot of albums weekly, and unfortunately just don’t have the time to do as many reviews as I’d like. They take a huge amount of time, which is pretty hard to come by. Don’t fret though, as I will have some coming up very soon (the assignments are nearly done!) and to tie you over I’ve written some mini-reviews on albums I’ve given a spin recently. Click below to swarm yourself in my warped opinions.
If all of these great tracks aren’t making the album, the album must be absolutely classic. |
