I bet Night is an instrumental track but I can't wait for this! The tracklist is up on itunes, "Night" is only 23 seconds, so...

"Gods" is definitely my favorite track released from the project so far. LOVE it!

"Gods" is alright in full. I loved the snippet we had, but it does nothing for me right now. I still enjoy it but it isn't any "wow" to me. This was going to be first single before right?

"Of All Kind" was supposed to be the lead single."Gods" is nice as an album track, not a single.

I have to see it to believe it. He will be over 50 when we get the third one.

I forgot to pop into Starbucks to listen to this. I bet all of the Real Housewives of NYC were getting their lives while ordering a venti soy latte 129 degrees half-full double cup no foam. Meanwhile, those vocals are ashy AF. For some reason, I kinda dig it though.

His vocals have been iffy on all of his releases in this era, but these songs are still damn good to really care.

It'll be interesting to see what he debuts with. His last two albums had very strong opening weeks, but that was 7 and 15 years ago. He doesn't have a mainstream Urban hit this time around, and R&B sales have significantly declined. I hope he can pull off the #1 regardless.

If this doesn't go over 100k that'd be 65% drop.. It might be close

Urban radio has ruined sales across the board, unfortunately. Its brand is not the selling brand and the older crowd had moved on.

Unlike fellow Columbia label mates Adele & Beyonce, it appears Maxwell will have the album on streaming sites on the release date. "Fingers Crossed" was released today on Spotify, that's now the 5th song. He should be #1 in sales, but SPS may be close. Hope he gets it.

I'm loving his latest releases. They feel so old-school to me. You can get a groove with "All the Way..."

I'm holding on all songs released during last week. Only listened to Lake in the Ocean and once to 1990x. I want to experience the full album Friday. From comments looks like it's going to be a good album

The material seems okay so far..... Where is the Pretty WIngs or Bad Habit off the album. I'm waiting for that panty dropping song from him for this album.

I agree that there has been nothing even on the same playing field as Pretty Wings, This Woman's Work, Lifetime, etc. I am holding out hope that there is at least one classic like that on this album that we haven't heard yet.

I love every song released so far, with the exception of "Gods" which I don't love as much, so I know I'm gonna love this album... I could see it even shaping up to be my favorite released this year. I can't wait to have it in full!
"Fingers Crossed"
