i've kinda given up hope on there being any big surprise album this December, can't imagine someone doing it on Christmas day or later. it was nice to imagine Kanye or Frank or somebody would keep the nascent tradition going, though.

can't tell whether this is supreme rihanna shade or actually forgetting her; checking her fan fora over the past week has been extremely entertaining

Man, this has been a long time coming!
First of all, I'm really happy that this thing is actually happening. Maxwell has meant so much to me throughout my adult life. In fact, it's not much of a stretch to say that his music is part of what shaped me into an adult to begin with.
Onto the song. . . It's just master craftsmanship. Listening to his new music has always given me the impression of watching a sculptor at work. You're not really sure where all the movements and little, seemingly insignificant, iterations will fit into the larger whole until the piece is finished. I love that. It's so layered and thoughtful, without sounding overcooked. Just top gear, all the way.
Definitely my most anticipated release of the year.
