Never mind, buying it so I can listen to "Can We Pretend" 1000 times over.

You should definitely reach out to CS for an update if you haven't even gotten shipping at this point.
I'm not worried, it'll come, just later than usual

I’m with you. +Justments is an underwhelming album / long on exposition and short on tunes. I can hardly believe I’m saying that considering how much I love Just As I Am and Still Bill.

I hate to say it, but I think I’m out on Bill Withers too. Thinking of swapping for Darkside or just dropping the track until Lee Morgan next month.
The songs feel sort of meandering with no real progression. I keep re-listening to try and find what I’m missing, but it’s just not doing it for me.

I can't believe you're saying that too because I think +justments is such a pretty, suave album! It's an album that I think you might grow to cherish with every listen; it's an atmospheric, pastel, subtle album that is just beautiful yet gloomy! I think it's a very attractive album! An A+ album for me personally! This album is just as good as Just As I Am and better than Still Bill in my opinion!

i know i'm in the minority here but +'Justments is Bill's best studio album in my opinion i'm kinda of surprised at the very least some people don't enjoy it album is a masterpiece.

I only listed to Justments once as I want to have fresh ears when it arrives, but sounds like the consensus is that this is sort of the Veedon Fleece of Bill's catalog?

Yes, spot on! It’s like the artists’ favourite album in their discography, like how PJ Harvey’s favourite album of hers is “Is This Desire?” and Kate Bush’s is “The Dreaming”!
All these albums were a turning point for the artist and showed maturity in their sound as well as their overall sound evolving!
Bill Withers’ +justments is a masterpiece! I’ve always loved the album from when I was young and I felt like I connected with its magical charm instantly, just like I did with those above mentioned PJ Harvey and Kate Bush albums!
The exact same thing can be said for Marvin Gaye’s I Want You! My gosh is that album decadent, seductive, luxurious, intoxicating, rich and heavenly!

You're gonna write all that and not drop your sound cloud link?

That’s... a really good comparison actually. And it’s making me reevaluate the album, because I really like Veedon Fleece.

Just checked and its saying "Join Standby List" so yeah, it looks like it has potentially sold out! Which is quite shocking tbh.

I'm assuming the Essentials is going to be less popular than usual, so this may be the result of people swapping away from that track to Classics. Personally, I pre-switched my main sub to Hip-Hop before August went live to secure the Outkast.
