Definately!!! I'm counting down the days...I've been waiting for MAXWELL for 8 years to come out with a new album...this is definately worth it.
Ms. Riveraat 6-25-2009
This is Embrya 2.0. I love it!!! Can definitely see it flowing right into the next album!!! This is going to be one incredible body of work. Can't wait to see the full story it tells...
dldpbrownat 6-25-2009
Oh my goodness I went on line bought the 1 track "pretty wings" burned that one song on a cd to listen to it in my car & hit repeat!!!!! I miss his hair but he can SANG!!!!!!If I wasn't already married to my true-love/soulmate I am so sure Maxwell would be him!!! (Maybe next life time!!)Anywho if I bought 1 track you already know I gotta get #1 of the trilogy!!! and rebuy some old ones I have worn out!!!
jvp9779at 6-25-2009
This is not good at all. I only like three songs on this album and they're just alright. This last song sucks big time!!! It's one of those stupid typical songs you can hear on every jazz station across the nation. I would immediately turn from this song if it came on the radio. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way!
WHAT HAPPENED TO MAXWELL???
EtcEtceteraat 6-26-2009
Thank you jvp for making some since about this new project because all these people with they wack as opinion about the tracks being played are out of they damn mind. im a big maxwell fan and this cd is is so watered down. it actually sucks! really.
mulverineat 6-28-2009
i'm with ya !!!! eight years and this is it????? This record is garbage
I can't believe how sick I am! Eight years and this is it? I thought this album would be a classic but whoa!!!! I lov the music, especially the horns, but who is writng these songs? There is no flow at all! This sounds like every other poorly written r&b song out there today!!!!
essence95at 7-08-2009
I was so disappointed with this album. I have no idea what Maxwell was thinking. You take an 8 year break and this is the best you can come up with. He should of had my 3-yr old daughter and my friends 6-yr old son write for him. I'm sure the tracks would have been MUCH BETTER. There are only 3 that I somewhat like...such a waste. Where can I get a refund?
CDLat 6-25-2009
I like Bad Habits very much I only think it's slightly overproduced there's too much sound at times and I loooooooooooove "Love You" I'd buy the whole album just for that latter one if we had no other choices, I might chose to buy the song instead.
Good luck with this new opus Maxwell looking forward to be able to buy Bad Habits and Love You off the net.
jnthmateat 6-25-2009
God bless you and the talent He gave you this is wonderful looking forward to life and music
photogem07at 6-25-2009
i am so disappointed. i know he wanted to grow in his music, but dag... he should have weened us too his new style. Pretty wings & handful of tears just gives us a hint of the Maxwell we used to know. going to his concert, but he has to bring it with the next CD. will buy it only because i have faith that it will only get better. COME BACK MAXWELL!

The rest of the album is no where as good and classic as Pretty Wings. I hope the second and third albums are more complete.
