Mayer continued by explaining how he applied that way of thinking to the creative process behind 'Sob Rock', saying: “I made a record that, to me at the time – only in a way to coax something out of me that I wouldn't have normally done – [I] 'shitpost' a record. It's called 'Sob Rock' because it's a 'shitpost'.

Mayer's album succeeded not just on the sale front but with healthy streams. Although it didn't quite do hip-hop numbers in that particular department, “Sob Rock” still attracted 26.9 individual song streams on top of the 56,700 albums sold and 9,200 track downloads.

Room For Squares (2001) Mayer's debut album, originally only released online before Columbia signed him, could easily be his best, if we were ranking on songwriting alone. On Room For Squares, a young, curious Mayer explores the ups and downs of love and life from his own experiences.

Mayer has revealed the touring band for an upcoming run of concerts supporting the LP Sob Rock, which was released in July 2021. Joining him on stage are fellow guitarists David Ryan Harris and Isaiah Sharkey, alongside bassist Pino Palladino, who is a part of the John Mayer Trio.
