Is it just me or does NOW screw up GOLD EXPEREINCE?

Is it just me or does NOW screw up GOLD EXPEREINCE? I think that the Gold Experience is Prince's best CD of the 90's but NOW screws up the flow of the CD...

The song is cool, but I must admit that I do skip over it sometimes boxed

I'll cosign on it. I think Now sucks. All that screaming he does on there is obnoxious as hell. I always skip it.

Yeah! The shame is, I think there's a decent song buried in there somewhere, but I can't be bothered to listen for it anymore.

I think it might just be you and a few other people. It's MUCH better live, by the way. Try to find it on bootleg The Beautiful Experience.

IMO, We March kind of screws up Gold Experience...

YES!!! I sort of like the chorus, but I felt like the rest of the song misses the mark. I could also do without all the computer segues

I totally agree with you on that one. nod

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It is but to me, it just doesn't fit that well with the rest of the CD. I think it would've made a great B-side.

Yeah. Not that's terrible per se, but it's the weakest link IMO.

I like it live better than in studio, but its okay with me. I still think the worst song on there is We March and I like that song.

IMO, ´We March´ screws it. If ´Interactive´, ´Days of Wild´ and ´The Ride´ were included in the album, it would have been almost perfect. I wouldnt mind if ´319´, ´Shy´ and ´We march´ were replaced by these ones.

I think it's the horrible chanted b/ground vocals on the chorus that kills 'Now' stone dead for me. I always that it sounded dated. That and it has that familiar odour of Shit Hop about it.

"Shy" is what fucks up TGE. I took it out and my playlist, and blended the sounds on either end together as part of the segue between "319" and "Billy Jack Bitch". I never miss it.

Agreed. Yet when Gold came out, "Shy" and "We March" were the two songs that had not been leaked yet (studio versions , anyways), so I played the hell out of them. Funny now those are the two I skip nearly 100% of the time.
