All I can say is, he put on a great show. Maxwell may have took a break for a couple of years but I am here to say, (and you know how I do it) he is still getting major rotation in the ride. I've had this cd for quite some time and I know, it's been reviewed a whole lot. He did most of his old music and did a "trial and error" with his new music. NEOSOUL06 I wanted to say, I enjoyed this cd when it first came out but, I have a whole new appreciation for Maxwell. I went to his concert when he came to town.
The best music out today, closest artist we'll ever get to Marvin Gaye. Maxwell will make you fall in love.(with him):-) He is very open to expressing the feelings men go through, not hiding anything.
What can I say other than this CD made me fall in love all over again. I absolutely loooove Maxwell.
Quite frankly, it seemed rather mediocre. But I guess he was still reeling from the chastening he received from critics on his last album, and perhaps he decided to keep it simple. That is how much confidence that I have in his talent and ability.
But I decided to give it another chance and I EVENTUALLY grew to like it-which was the problem I had with this album. Overall, it's a decent album-not mind blowing, not spectacular-just a decent album. At times I wish he would have pushed himself farther and been a little bit more adventurous as he had been on "Embrya" (a criminally underrated and unappreciated album).
Maxwell is the type of artist, who for me, as soon as he releases an album, I'll go out and purchase it without first hearing any of the album's tracks. Initially, I had considered filing this album away or selling it. Some of the stand out tracks are, 'Lifetime', 'Get to Know You', 'W/as My Girl' and 'This Woman's Work' (a classic Kate Bush track, from the She's Having A Baby Soundtrack).
So I was rather disappointed when I first listened to this album. It was not something that I expected from someone with his caliber of talent and ability.
bring back wonderful memory of our love to each other this was a great CD for me and my wife.
