Money on My Mind Stay with Me Leave Your Lover I'm Not the Only One Not in That Way Restart Reminds Me of You
In this instance, I'd be all over him had this been an EP with those songs. The tracks in between don't do much for me and I don't even like or remember them enough to warrant purchasing the entire album just yet.

Favs: Money On My Mind Stay With Me I'm Not The Only One Lay Me Down Restart Make It To Me Reminds Me of You
Possible favs: Like I Can Life Support
The album IS called "In The Lonely Hour" so I didn't expect this album to be joyful or upbeat. A couple songs do make the album feel like it's dragging though...I would have preferred the bonus tracks in their places.

Haven't heard the entire album out, but I'm loving "Stay With Me."

Saw him on The View today. I think he's gonna be major. Male Adele? Maybe.

"Like I Can" or "Money on my Mind" should be released as the next single(s) in the U.S.

I thought Money On My Mind was already released here. Then again, I don't really follow that stuff too much. I know it was released somewhere, so I'm guessing the UK? It's probably my favorite song on the album, tbh, next to Stay With Me and Not In That Way.

It went #1 in the UK but was never released here. Stay With Me is the first non-collaboration track that has been pushed for him in the US.

^Gosh, I love him.
The bonus tracks are some of my favs. (Make It To Me, Restart, Reminds Me of You) They should have replaced some of the album tracks.

Disappointed that the album is not on Spotify. >:( So, my label buddy told me that the SS album will be available for streaming by mid July. Capitol obviously thought this stupid plan would guarantee Ms. Smith a #1 album during its debut week, so glad that plan backfired. Shade intended.

I beg your pardon? Anyway, I LOVE "Money on My Mind" (refuse to use the acronym for this one 'MOMM'), but I can see that chorus being really off-putting to people. But then again, "Latch" is huge despite similar vocal production in certain parts, so why not "Money," too?

This album is effing phenomenal. Looovvvee it!
Singles IMO:
1. "Stay With Me" 2. "Like I Can" 3. "Reminds Me Of You" 4. "Life Support"
I wouldn't mind these being released as well: "Restart", "Lay Me Down" (what kind of genius?), and "Money On My Mind".

I reviewed the album last week on my website, www.themaxonline.net/2014/06/26/sam-smith-in-the-lonely-hour/My favourite songs are Restart and Like I Can. I can see where people say the songs sound a bit samey but my biggest criticism with the album was that he doesn't seem to allow himself to let loose with his performances in the songs. The songs are guiding him rather than the other way around and I think that might be why it feels like there isn't much variation.

This is the first album I've bought in THREE YEARS (I stream everything on Spotify). I kind of hate Smith for not making his album available on Spotify (it's why I've refused to buy, for example, Beyonce and Coldplay's new albums), but I've made an exception because he's a new talented artist who deserves the money.

That's actually an interesting topic. I wonder how holding off streaming could change sales numbers.

He just wrapped his new video for the next U.S. single this morning out here; Dianna Agron has a role in it.

Like I Can has me on my feet every single time. I could definitely see them releasing that for the uptempo single.
