Is there any reason why this album didn't get a real marketing push..There was only one video to my knowledge from the album..and you would think that a song like Belief would be have gotten a major push. Any insight?

I think it was because people did not really take this dude as a "real" artist, or very over rated. I think that he is one of the best out there, this album was a great album.

'Gravity' is one hell of a great song.

Despite not getting a huge marketing push, Continuum has done very well , selling over 2 million in the 90+ weeks its been on the charts so far. Of course "Waiting..." was huge . Gravity and Dreaming with a Broken Heart got some atttention and Say (which is now included on the re-release) is doing its thing now.

John is one of he few musical real talents out there today and Continuum almost 2 years later holds up as a great album . I would have loved to see Vultures or Belief pushed as singles.

Check out his new Live From New York album.... its great

Great musicianship! Perhaps a tad on the boring side, but the man has talent.

Probably because it isn't the same pop thing that his first two records were. It's much more mature album. I just heard it for the first time a month or so ago and it blew me away! Dude's really talented (in ways other than banging Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Anniston)

it might not have been a huge marketing campaign.. but from what i recall it did pretty well. hell, it was the most downloaded album of all time before Viva La vida.


its a fantastic album.

i've just recently fll in love with dreaming with a broken heart. one couple danced to it on so you think you can dance and it totally rocked..very moving. so i downloaded it off of itunes and i listen to it about 5-6 times a day. it reminds me of my mom..i keep dreaming about her and the lyrics are just spot on

nvm

He's a really good player in that respect, hes getting much better musically, im more into his "trio" stuff than his "mainstream" stuff, to me what bugged me were the comparisons to Ryan Adams, and to me John is nowhere near being that "prolific" and "diverse".
