Rank Maxwell's Album Catalog

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite
Embrya
MTV Unplugged
Now
BLACKsummers'night




Okay, here's my ranking:
Embrya
BLACKsummers'night
Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite
Now

and I don't have the unplugged EP.

What's your take? BTW: While I think there are stronger songs on UHS and Now, IMHO they are not as cohesive an album as the other two. Your take?

Couldn't agree with those grades more, but let's give BLACKsummers'night a high B+ please! His best work in 12 years.

(Disclaimer: haven't heard the unplugged album enough to include it boxed)

Urban Hang Suite
Embrya
BlackSummersNight
Now

Actually typing this has made me realize he hasn't had enough albums for me to consider this a "catalog". At least not worth ranking hmph!

But I did it anyway. biggrin

    1. Urban Hang Suite

    2. BLACKsummers'night

    3. Embrya

    4. Unplugged

    5. Now


A few weeks ago we discussed BLACKsummers'night on Twitter. We still keep up with our commentary on #bsn the tour, and the award shows with that hashtag.

1 Embrya
2 BLACKsummers'night
3 Unplugged
4 Urban Hang Suite
5 Now

This is really tough. The only placement I'm sure about is Now at #5, though I think that album is good, as well. The others could be interchangeable.

He just threw that album together because the label had a #1 hit with Fortunate. Some songs stand out, but as a collection, uhm no. .

"Now" was the baddest shit he ever did. On "Urban" people called Maxwell a wannabe Marvin/Sade/Prince ,but on the next 2 "Embrya" and "Now" he showed 'em why in 10 years we put his name up there wit the best of 'em.

Embrya (grew on me over the years...wonderful)
Now
BLACKSummers'Night (still getting acquainted, but I'm sure it will surpass Now)
Unplugged (only cuz I don't have it on cd, so I haven't played it in 10 years)
