Love it... when does it drop? Next Tuesday I assume?

I hate to get all corporate and all but I think they would have even more momentum going into this week's release if they chose another lead single. They have better options to me. Either way, rock on guys! I wish them well.

I still havent heard any song in full besides 'caught my eye'...... I'm waiting til April 5th to buy it and hear everything from to bottom. I've only skimmed some songs here and there.

If you were to rank all 7 MC studio albums (no greatest hits, live albums etc). How would y'all rank them now?

Without hearing "7" yet, for me it goes:

F.T.M.F.

D.O.A.B.

L.A.

M.T.B.M.

L.T.L.B.

E.L.

This is how I rank their work! YES...I might be buying 7... tomorrow. I'm not sure right now though.

I just love how Mint keeps doing their thing.

In prep for the new release I am completely indulging in Livin the Luxury Brown right now.

And I can't stop watching their cover of EWF's Love Holiday.

I gotta get back to Livin' the Luxury Brown. Forgot how ambitious and deep that release was. The Mint shines when they get their rock bag going.

That was unreasonably fantastic.

Just got back from Best Buy.

The Mint Cd is NOT in the front of the store with the new releases.

It is sitting in the BACK of the store and does not even have a sign stating that it is on SALE.

WTH.......

Typical....

Haven't enjoyed a Mint Condition album this much since Aquarium (moreso, Definition -- Aquarium was a bit of a disappointment). So glad they trimmed the fat (amount of slow stuff). I enjoy their great slow jams, but they just got to be too many after a while (overpowering an album). 7 is a really good album. I just wish they'd come up with something that has the kind of tempos and varied styles that existed on Mint Factory (and Definition). Don't think they'll ever top Mint Factory, though.

U digging Whatchu Want?

I haven't seen the album online with any bonus tracks, are there indeed additions to the one sold at best buy stores? Thanks, I cant wait to get my hands on this but I want as much Mint as possible.

You mean I Want It, right? Yeah, great track. Dig the synth bassline on that one. That's gotta be one of the fastest tempos they've had in a while. I've gotta get a hold of those bonus tracks now.

Whatchu Want is a bonus track.

The funkest track on the cd.

Interesting. Best Buy's online info on the bonus tracks lists these...

• "Ease the Pain"
• "Cupid's Hunt"
• "God Bless a Woman & a Man"
• "Nothin' Left to Say" (live)
• "I'm Ready"

Thank you. I see the tracks but I cant actually order it. I guess I'll wait for a bit. Thanks.

I'm sorry, as soon as the singing starts, I start laughing. I just don't know why.

Not my thing.

Hope for them their album will hit the charge.

I can't get past frickin' Mind Slicker! Stokely Blows on this track and then the breakdown Kills!!

Yeah, that breakdown is sick...they went to church right in the middle of the song.

I'm really, really loving this CD!!! Some real suprises in there. I haven't heard the song Unsung mentioned too much, but I had to listen to it a couple of times in a row as it's such a lovely song... I knew Larry wrote it before I even looked at the credits. He's great at those traditional piano ballads like If It Wasn't For Your Love. Normally, I lean more towards the uptempo and crazy stuff... but, this lovely song caught me off guard. I actually enjoy every track!

As for Best Buy, the one in my town had the CD's set up on a table right at the front door!! I was shocked and happy.
