What this Godly bumping track "Survivor" is? Nine tracks straight, this album is doing it for me. I'm loving it.
Ok, she could have kept "Find The Love". Its not even "Just Fine" tolerant for me right now.

With the hook of "Indestructible" being in "U+Me", it is like an immediate favorite for me right now.
I guess we can assume that "Glow Up" is next for urban. I think she has many urban AC singles on here. I hope to see "Set Me Free", "Thank You", "It's Me" or "Indestructible" getting a radio release

Any info on the Target bonus tracks? Even Wikipedia doesn't have them listed! Target bonus tracks are: The Naked Truth and Love in the Middle. Naked Truth is a ballad. Love in the Middle is uptempo. They are OK. Nothing special.

I probably should have just ordered this from Amazon like the other CDs that came out today, since the NYC Targets don't believe in carrying their exclusives on release day smh.

Went to the Brooklyn Target during my lunch break and...all the copies were gone! There were two old men also looking for it. I led the charge for the girl working to go in the back and dig for more. She came back with a stack. WHOOHOO! People are thirsty for the Queen!

Its not even "Just Fine" tolerant for me right now. I like "Find The Love"!! It's a cute bop! And if it were released by one of her fairer skinned peers, it'd be a smash.

"Find The Love" is a low point for me. It has those dated 2011 production effects, and she's done this type of throwback dance record better many times in the past.
"It's Me" is the other one I could do without. Sounds like Rico Love shit it out in his sleep.

I enjoyed this album a lot more than I thought I would. "Love Lesson" is still great but "Tell the Truth" is that cut

I feel like people's expectation/evaluation is greatly influenced by three singles. This album itself is actually quite dynamic. Imagine if they released "Telling the Truth", "Glow Up" and "It's Me" instead...

Imagine if they released "Telling the Truth", "Glow Up" and "It's Me" instead... I don't think the singles would have done nearly as well as the ones they did release. Mary is a grandmother by Urban radio standards. They were smart to not even bother trying to release something that was a blatant attempt at scoring a mainstream hit (not that I think any of those are, but they're much moreso than "Thick Of It" and "U + Me," both of which topped the Urban AC chart). "Thick Of It" was a huge R&B hit for someone her age and 25 years into her career. I'm hoping the album sales aren't completely abysmal like most R&B albums (especially female R&B albums) these days. That's one area where I think she'll benefit (album sales) from not making blatant attempts to attract the younger crowd.

I think the first 6 songs on this album are very solid, but it kind of falls off after that. However, I definitely think this is her best collection of songs, released to the public, since The Breakthrough.

Easily her best since Growing Pains.
Thick Of It U+Me Set Me Free Thank You Smile Indestructible It's Me Glow Up
The target bonus tracks are unnecessary but I wanted my money worth. It's hard to get a 16 track album from artists nowadays.

Not bad. I enjoyed a lot of it. MJB is always reliable for some nice hits. Hopefully she can get an urban banger
