Surprised no one has started this yet. I just listened to the album all the way and all I have to say is wow that was good. The production is very fresh and contemporary but lyrically Chris is good as always. Lots of love songs on the album but that's Chris's style and it works well for him. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the production by the way I think it sounds great. He didn't completely abandon the steal either as there are some nice touches of it on "Sober Saturday Night". By the way Vince Gills backup vocals sound great. For you musical folks that diminished chord in the last chorus was excellent haha.
As for potential singles I'm with everyone else and I think they'll go with "Think of You". That has hit written all over it plus I don't think Chris has ever released a single that's a duet with a female. Come to think of it I don't think any of his singles have been a duet. I've noticed that recently that male artists have been doing more duets and releasing them as singles. It's definitely a trend. Almost guarantees you a hit.
After that I could see "Alone Tonight" or "You Do The Talkin". My wishful thinking hopes for "Sober Saturday Night" but it's probably "too country" for radio. Maybe Mr. Stapleton can change that :) .
With all of the songs with Alone, Tonight, or both words, (referring to Blake and Luke), this one is by far my favorite. It uses a very common chord progression but it's a catchy song that's got a good hook.
I think they'll be able to pump 4 singles out of this era assuming the trend continues for how quick I'm Comin' Over moved up the charts compared to his last singles.
Realistically I think the next singles will be Think Of You, You Do The Talkin', and to close out the album with Sober Saturday Night. That kind of contradicts what I said earlier but I feel like you got to close out album eras with a bang and that song would do that.
Overall very solid album! I think this album could potentially get him to A-lister status.

The album isn't quite what I'd hoped for, but it's not nearly as "bro" as A.M. (and A.M. only flirted with bro-ness in the first place, compared with the hardcore bros.) It's not his best, but it's decent, and a move back in the right direction. Glad it's selling well.
I put it on my Xmas list on the strength of the excellent lead single, the Cassadee Pope duet, and the promise of a Vince Gill-collaboration along with the fact that I love Chris Young's voice (one of my top 3 favorite male vocalists), but after not caring much for A.M. I'm becoming disheartened that he still hasn't bounced back from that...
