this is my least favorite prince album of all time. words are inadequate to convey how much i dislike it.  So ... you don't like it? hmm, let me think about it.  yeah. pretty much hate all of it. lol.
I do like White Mansion, Somebody's Somebody, and Face Down; but disc 2 is absolutely unbearable. When an Emancipation song comes on the all Prince station on xm radio I rush to switch it to old skool hip hop!  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Okay, I have a question about La La La Means  Love You. Is that Prince's voice? It sounds so beautiful, and the cover says additional vox by Chante Moore. I don't hear anyone's voice but Prince's. | |

eccotides said: Good album. It takes a long time to properly absorb, but there's plenty of good material on there. There's some stuff I could do without, but that's par for the course with 3 discs worth of material.
Still, there are some true gems here: Sex in the Summer Soul Sanctuary Dreamin' About U Joint 2 Joint The Love We Make J2J in particular is a standout track - the boy found a great feeling on that song. I agree...Good, but not great...But I think it is some of his best material of the '90s...There are some exceptional moments (Curious Child, Dreamin About U, The Love We Make, Joint 2 Joint (should have been cut to 4 minutes...); "Holy River," "In This Bed I Scream," and some fun tracks "Mr. Happy" (check you brain at the door..the groove is funky..); "White Mansion," ect...Overall a strong project, but would have been better as two disc... | |

Emancipation was based on the pyramids. One aspect of that is that the pyramids, while amazing achievements, are kinda boring on the surface. It takes a little investigation to understand what went into their creation.
It's also why it had to be 3 cd's [Edited 11/3/06 9:46am] My Legacy

I agree with Murph, definitely better as a two disc set. I think this was around the time he wanted to prove he could put out a 3 disc box set to spite WB. I have felt for Sex in the Summer, Face Down, JOTY, and White Mansion. What about Style ya'll definitely classic Prince. Style is not putting out a 3 CD set just because you can, Style is doing Vegas your own way  | |

I've never heard him sound like that before. | |

I saw a completely different side of Prince there. | |
