He was on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. He performed Bad Habits and Pretty Wings. Making the Band 3's Laurie Ann Gibson = ONE CRAZY BROAD
*edit* This broad won my respect after she stood up to Diddy. | |

^ Yep, I think they'll release catalog items like that. They should also release a DVD of all his music videos. | |

I'm underwhelmed. I think it's his weakest release to date. Really? Even weaker than Now? I made it through the wilderness. Somehow I made it through.. | |

All 5 of his albums are good(including the "Unplugged" CD). People are gonna have their faves. | |

'Help Somebody' earned 3 stars on the IPod and that was the only track. Every other album (excluding Unplugged) has at least three rated songs and every other album has at least one 5 star rated song. So yeah, this one is weak. | |

That album has some of my most beloved songs.. "Temporary Nite", "Symptom Unknown", and "W/As My Girl". But it doesn't hold up as an album in comparison to BLACKsummersnight, imo. I made it through the wilderness. Somehow I made it through.. | |

I must say that it actually gets more unsatisfying as it continues (save for "This Womans' Work"). Through giving the album time, though, the only songs that are *still* auto. skippers are "Silently", "Sympton Unknown" and "Now/At The Party" (which is probably his weakest instrumental entry). Everything else spans good to great, but not superior. Maxwell went in a different direction on "Now", and I respect that, but he also dropped a lot of the sonic depth that made his first two albums so appealing to me. Also, the songs simply aren't as *stunning*..."BLACKsummers'night" fixed, at the very least, the latter problem and is a body of work that stands completely apart from the rest of his collection. I take it for what it is, and "it" is at least better than "Now". | |

"Embrya" gets that honor. | |

Hopefully you like the 2nd or 3rd installments better. (For anyone who doesn't know, BSN is the first part of a trilogy). | |

I'm underwhelmed. I think it's his weakest release to date. I agree. I was underwhelmed too after 8 years of anticipation. It seems to be missing a "groove" which was very much present on Urban Hang and Embrya. I'm not so sure why this one feels like such a dud. I wasn't impressed and more so, disappointed. Even when "Pretty Wings" first leaked, I wasn't impressed. Now it's grown on me, but it took a long time and quite a few listens.  | |

I so wish he'd come to Mpls!! "I've always been a huge, huge, Prince fan. Studied the guy's music...Even to this day, no one in music to me has captured that sensibility where your mind goes to a different place. It was complex, it was three-dimensional the way he wrote." -Jamie Foxx | |

My girl just bought this project for me and I'm actually impressed by it. I prefer Urban Hang Suite but I think I like this one better than all of his other CDs. The project holds together well for me. | |

Maxwell is evolving as an artist. I was underwhelmed at first too, but now I love the new cd! It's cohesive, it has a great "live" vibe to it and the vocals are sexy as hell. I play it all the time! | |
