Is PE his best cd since...

a) Lovesexy
b) Diamonds and pearls
c) Gold experience
d) Rainbow children
e) Musicology
f) 3121

?

As for me, a) is the right answer.

Don't you feel this is the first album after many many years (1988), that you, or anybody else, put on the stereo and at he first listen tell: "Oh, this is Prince!".
I mean, the sound is so unmistakable, only P sounds like that. I really missed this feeling in the past years, tough some of the albums were reallly good, but a little bit incohesive or disjonted compared 2 PE. Some friends listened 2 Future Baby Mama, Guitar, The One U Wanna C, and all of them were keen 2 listen 2 the rest of the album. So i gave them another little pill: Chelsea Rodgers! They went crazy, nobody could stop moving... the party has just began...

You can't go wrong, can you?

You owe me $5. I caught the big fish....again

Is also true that if PE was realeased in 1988, everybody would use the word masterpiece and if Lovesexy was realeased in 2007, everybody would say: "yeah, a pretty good album, but in the 80's Prince was better"!

Now, there's this stereotype that Prince can't reach the 80's peak, but as for me is just a prejudice.

3121

It's not out yet.

Since The Rainbow Children.

Since Musicology.

Overall, it feels like Musicology part 3.

Since TRC.

A friend of mine sent me all the tracks in mp3 format via msn.
Tomorrow or friday i will buy the official cd in the store, here in Italy the official release date is july 13, but maybe some store will sell the cd on thursday afternoon.

C or D. Aloiso- hows Italy? did u hear abt the new pope controversy?

"So shall it be written, so shall it be sung..."

What controversy?
I love the Pope, he's the best man.

Since TRC!

I've always wondered why Europeans seem to hold Lovesexy is such high regard. Here it was considered quite a step back after SOTT. Personally, I think it was the last truly cohesive album he made but it suffered from a some bad recording and production decisions that made it sound a bit plastic. For some fans Lovesexy was the beginning of the end of Prince's genius phase. That said, in retrospect, its sounds way more organic and natural that anything he's put out since.

PE just doesnt even come close. I'd put it slightly better than Rave, 3121 & Musicology. I have respect for TRC musically but Im so turned off by his attitude during that time period that I cant really judge it fairly. This one falls under Emancipation way ahead of NPS.

Why does this topic keep coming up everytime he releases an album? Why not just say it is a good cd or bad cd. Why compare it to any of his other albums?

"Guitar" on Leno is the greatest performance in the history of rock ' roll

Second Funkiest White Man in America

It sure is nice having adults running our government now

since 3121

None of the above.

d for me.

i always persuade myself into liking albums. That's what I did with Musicology and 3121. But they're nothing compared to the 'artistic' albums.

Planet Earth is more like TRC, and it's my kind of thing! Even like All the Midnights. Prince is real hippie on this one.

Mr Goodnight I like least.
