Heavier Things by John Mayer
Heavier Things is an album by John Mayer, released in 2003. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bigger Than My Body”, on 4 lists with a best position of #34.
Heavier Things, John Mayer's second album, arrived on September 9, 2003, through Aware and Columbia, and it went straight to number one on the Billboard 200 with more than 317,000 copies moved in its opening week. It's the follow-up to Room for Squares, and it stays mostly in the acoustic, soft-rock lane of his early records, all warm guitar, easy grooves and a sensitive-guy croon.
"Bigger Than My Body", "Clarity" and "Daughters" show off the polish. Some critics took shots at his songwriting, but the notices were mostly kind. Looking back, it's the last stop before Mayer went chasing the blues and rock he'd grown up on, the turn that led to the John Mayer Trio and Continuum.
