John Mayer — Sob Rock (Transparent LP)

John Mayer wore his influences on his sleeve for Sob Rock, and the result is one of his most disarmingly honest records. Drenched in the shimmering, soft-focus production of 1980s pop and rock — the kind that plays beautifully on warm vinyl — it's an album about longing, plain and simple. "Last Train Home" sets the mood early: chrome-bright guitars, a steady pulse, that unmistakable Mayer tone sitting somewhere between confession and cool. The songwriting is lean and direct throughout. This transparent LP pressing from Sony gives the record a tactile beauty that suits its nostalgic heart.
