They released their first self-titled album back in 1986 and it never really took off. It seemed this quintet from Boston wasn’t going to be the successful. Then... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443438763652 Tue, 2 Sep 2008 12:14:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443438763652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_443392822916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Monnie1976 - If anyone loves the John Mayer of today with his bluesy riffs, sensitive but pointed lyrics and amazing voice then you owe it to yourself to get his debut album <b>Room For Squares</b>. Filled with his more humble pop beginnings with early... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443392822916 Tue, 2 Sep 2008 01:15:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443392822916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442404277892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Monnie1976 - John Mayer began his career back in 2001 with his debut album Room For Squares. Everyone took notice when he released the pop gem “No Such Thing”. I don’t think anyone realized the full potential in that slightly awkward twenty something guy.

He helped write one of the biggest hits from last year “It’s Not Over” with Daughtry and also did a lot of charity work around Denver.

The hype surrounding it made it seem like it was the rebirth of an eighties horror film. Ruthless gore with a campy sense of humor, a killer with some kind of a back story and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442181127812 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 01:42:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442181127812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442177326724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Monnie1976 - When I started my review of Lil&#146 Wayne this morning I was ready to skewer him. A merciless, thorough skewering almost on the level of the every other year slam-fest I give R. Kelly. Let me give you a sample.

With her phenomenal voice, gorgeous exterior and ability to write good songs it would be hard not to like this talented songstress from Australia.

Some things you can just see coming. Like Justin Timberlake going for a solo career or Britney’s train wreck VMA performance.
