People are missing my point. Walk In Bland is a sellout formulaic tune. Prince's vocals are great on it, it's not the worst of the bunch in terms of the bad Prince records, but it doesn't belong in the conversation with true Prince music. It's Prince's attempt to sell out. Let's go back to "Graffiti Bridge". Anybody remember the Electrifying Mojo interview with Prince from the mid 80's? Remember how Mojo asked Prince about the criticism of Purple Rain? Prince answered that he didn't write the script and if he had it would have been cleaner or whatever. And when he did look what we got... a hot mess of edits called Graffiti fuckkin Bridge. Prince tried to appease the folks that were just hating on his success. Think of all the new tracks Prince wrote for GB, not the outtakes from the 80's he included, but the new "safe" material. It was all straight garbage. Prince is no good without the edge. He can't tame down and still be listenable. The religious records and the political POV is just not entertaining enough. The 'real music by real musicians' 3EG co-writer, arent-we-so-cute-wtih-our-OneWordTitles songs aren't anything close to the excitement of true Prince music. Everybody, everybody know Prince made his best music singing dirty over synthesizers. He isn't very good at anything else. He isn't Girshwin and shit. Prince needs to just get back to making true Prince music.

Your opinion.

I really dig this song.

I've always liked Walk In The Sand and most of the 20Ten album.

Still waiting for 2010 Deluxe...

Walk in Sand isn't so much a song as a maxipad commercial.
