5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait From the Keeper of the Flame July 7, 2009
Format:Audio CD
On this sad day, we celebrate the legacy of Michael Jackson as he is laid to rest. But on this day, we also celebrate the return of Maxwell a.k.a the keeper of the R&B flame.
What can be said about Maxwell that has NOT been said? For me (through his music) he made me believe in love and romance. He made me believe that not all young urban men are thugs (or thug wannabes). We made me believe that music can STILL inspire. It took him 8 years to return, but it has been worth the wait.
All the songs are great and intimate, but the best songs are:

Pretty Wings-love song about meeting the right person at the wrong time
Cold- rumored to be his 3rd single. This song really grooves and is very sexy.
Bad Habits- about really feeling a person to the point of addiction.
Love You- about wanting to become whatever the person you love want you to become.
Help Somebody- is one of Maxwell's first songs about helping mankind.

My last point about this album is its been a LONG time since we heard REAL instruments in music (especially in R&B). With this record, we get to hear REAL musicians....as I said earlier, we don't call Maxwell the keeper of the R&B flame for nothing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, just way too short July 7, 2009
Format:Audio CD
Maxwell is very talented and has once again put out some good music after his long hiatus. The album starts off with really strong with Bad habits, Cold, and Pretty Wings. The next two songs HELP SOMEBODY and STOP THE WORLD sort of remind me a some old Marvin Gaye songs (just not as good as his songs). They are not my favorites on the album but they are still decent songs. The last three songs are good and the album ends with the last track as an instrumental. Lyrically and the production of the album will not disappoint you at all. The only complaint i would have is that the album is too short. After 8 years i thought the album would have 12 songs at minimum. Other than that this is a very respectable effort by Maxwell.

Stand out tracks:

Bad Habits
Cold
Pretty Wings

5.0 out of 5 stars Mature,Heartfelt and Sincere July 7, 2009
Format:Audio CD
this is an amazing album, yes it is a little short but the quality makes it worth. Maxwell came back with the strong "Pretty Wings",a beautiful/heartbreaking ballad that deserves without a doubt grammy nominations next year.
but the cd is all good, there is no auto-tune,no songs about women as an object...it is the opposite, it is a gentleman album with songs about his life situations.
i am glad that are still a few r&b artists like him still making good songs, we need that. can't wait for the next cd.

favorites:

1 - Fistful of Tears
2 - Love You
3 - Stop the World
4 - Pretty Wings

Bottom line-what happened to soul music? Why is no one stepping up to the plate-when we need it most? Holy god-this record is supposed to be quality soul music? Not likely. Read more

Maxwell is an artist and entertainer and his previous offerings were ever so smooth and cool to listen to, to sing to, to dance to, to love to...this one missed it for me.

I just got my CD in the mail today.... Be the first to reply
The complaint that this album's too short...
the problem is, those 8-9 tracks are very dull and monotone. this album isn't even half as engaging as his previous efforts. his album now seriously changed my life. i've gotta disagree with you about this album. i'm very disappointed. =(
