^^YOU HAVE READ MY MIND'S CONCLUSIONS about music writers. i am just tired of BS that now i'm tired of each and every reviewers; yes even reading overanalyical reviews here.

Embrya, to this day, is my FAVORITE Maxwell album.


i wanted to make a thread dedicated to Embrya that's how good i thought it was. i loved the long musical intros, the production/instrumentation, the song titles, the lyrics, the vocal arrangements; i LOVED that album, and i was young as hell when that came out. Sure, some of the songs can come of as too dreamy (which i like), but he's never afraid to be funky too (Arroz Con Pollo, Cococure (bassline here is sic), IAmMe...,). But this trick didn't say anything about any element of the sound; just gave me a vibe of "it's boring".

i could see Embrya not being for everyone, because it was kinda too chill, but musically, i thought it was something refreshing and just as good as his work before (Urban Hang Suite).
