From Amazon.com
Singer-songwriter John Mayer fills his debut, Room for Squares, with pep talks to and advertisements for himself. Even when questioning his young life, Mayer's doubts come off glib; not one second of "Why Georgia" convinces that "the stirring in my soul" keeps the artiste awake at night. Between his Dave Matthews-wannabe vocals and the accomplished but bland lite rock of his band, he could be just as easily offering tunes for hire to a coming-of-age network series as making a stand for himself and his worldview. The premise of "City Love"--that Mayer couldn't find his way around Manhattan until finding a girlfriend to root him to the place--is nice but not edifying. "My Stupid Mouth" is similarly fuzzy; letting us in on just what he said to alienate a dinner partner would've gone a long way toward fleshing out the song's pat self-deprecation. Ultimately, Mayer comes off less like a commiserating friend than a blabbermouth who's forever forgetting there's someone else in the room. And instead of whining about a discarded lunch box ("83"), dude, learn to brown-bag it the way the rest of us did. --Rickey Wright

This pretty boy is the biggest egomaniac in pop music today. The way he goes on about himself in interviews makes me sick. He's a good guitar player, no doubt, but his music and lyics are the most annoying, pretentious crap I've heard in years. I'd buy this CD just to throw it in the fire and see it melt, enjoying breathing the toxic fumes more than listening this swill. It sucks! If you want to check out true greatness and have good taste in music, buy anything by Elliott Smith.
 Music at its best! December 28, 2004
This is one of my most favorite cds ever. It never gets old, and I never get tired of hearing any of the songs because they are that good. The lyrics discuss relavent issues in today's world, and gives the listener a sense of new hope. Room For Squares is a very positive cd, and that's what I love about it, John Mayer sings about everything and anything. If you like any of his hits such as "Your Body is A Wonderland," I highly recommend getting this cd, because you will not regret it, I'm dead serious!
Excellent November 13, 2004
This was definately worth the money. It's a wonderful CD to listen to whenever. If you need some motivation to do house work, if you have people over for dinner and you want something nice to listen to, or if you're planning a romantic evening for 2. There are so many stories in these songs and it's worth taking some time and listening to the lyrics. He's incredibly talented for such a young guy. I was shocked to hear '83 because I really didn't know how old he was until I listened to it. Fabulous!
oh god i hate this man. July 18, 2004

Jesus this was bad when it was called Under The Table and Dreaming and now its just 10 times as bad under its new name, Room for Squares. This album sucks. Thats all there is to it. No one in their right mind would find this crap good...oh wait I forgot about all those frat boys and girls wearing white hats. Nevermind I guess they need driving music for those long rugged trips in their Ford Explorers to Starbucks.
 No such thing, peeps! July 6, 2004

John Mayer is a huge Dave Matthews-wannabe, and it's obvious in his voice and music prefs. Overrated, though I do enjoy "No Such Thing."
