NPR First Listen: www.npr.org/series/98679384/first-listenI was expecting it to be more sleepy based on previous posts in here, but it seemed diverse enough to me. Love the strings on the new version of "Lay Me Down."

$11.99 at Target.
He's already sold 53k in pre-orders so I think an 80-100k debut will be in easy reach for him.

Where did you read it is $11.99. Using any coupons? I wanted to get the deluxe, but $16.99 I think is too much.

Loving all this promo. I hope they dont overexpose him though over the course of this album and next. I know this is needed; however, Ive seen some of my favorite artists hit it big and then people cant stand them after.
I'll definitely be buying the album tomorrow! :)

The Deluxe at Best Buy is $11.99 and they have Make It To Me. I don't really know any of Sam's songs except for the Disclosure version of Latch, La La La (which I've heard once), Money On My Mind (which I've heard once or twice), and Stay With Me. I'm not sure what version to buy.

It's $11.99 for the 14-track Best Buy deluxe and the 16-track Target deluxe (cc: Carlitoz - the $11.99 deluxe price is in-store only), and unless it ends up being marked as album-only, you could get "Make It To Me" from iTunes, so it'd be more affordable to get all 17 tracks by buying the album at Target and "Make It To Me" from iTunes.

Thank you! I'll be at the store tomorrow morning then :)

NOT these mediocre reviews for the "male Adele" though. Even though I haven't heard this yet, I was honestly expecting much better from the critics.

Google Play has a free acoustic version of "Nirvana" (and "Make It To Me" if you don't like iTunes): t.co/iF7jcs9rXj

It hit #1 on USA iTunes!
I was at my local mall (Yorkdale) at 8:45am thinking it would be open already, but it wasnt. I sat patiently with my tea and got it as soon as the store opened. I officially bought the first copy from that store. :)
I love that the Canadian edition is the same as the Deluxe but only $7.99 :)

He and Lana keep switching back and forth between #1. Early predictions for him are 125-150k.

Um...only wrapping up Good Thing, but...what kind of voice?! What kind of tone? What kind of brokenhearted perfection?! I don't even know if I can make it through the rest of the album but damn, what a jam Money On My Mind Is!
Ugh: Stay With Me is making me cry. I really can't take it. I'm so glad I braved a 1 hr bus ride (vs my normal 30 min train ride) to get out at Target and wait 15 min for the next bus home. Worth every second.

Great voice but I may agree with the critics that the production is kind of bland and the album is very one-note. I like the uptempo songs a lot and the singles, definitely. He is more like the male version of Emeli Sande than Adele, which will probably hurt him in the end.

His voice is so good, but this album does nothing for me. It's way too bland. I like "Stay With Me" and that's about it. "Like I Can" isn't too bad on first listen either. Too many ballads imo.

The album is a bit samey for my liking. It's a shame that "Reminds Me of You" is only on the Target deluxe; that song is easily his best imo.

The album is a bit of a let down. He should have included more R&B and dance influenced tunes instead of those ballads that all sound like one long song. Oh and the songs from the "Nirvana" EP should have made the album in place of some of those ballads.
