Art Official Age vs Sign of the Times

For me....art official age surpasses SOTT...SOTT has some great tracks and some very weak ones (Starfish & Coffee, anyone?)...AOA is more cohesive and stronger throughout for me...it benefits of being a single disc album, SOTT was way too wild-unpredictable, we are living great days indeed, when Prince has finally released an album worthy of his 1982-1988 mega-peak...

JoeT: please stop,

You hate AOA with a passion, we understand that.

No need for you to make a crusade against AOA..... like this,


(it's not the first thread where you trash the AOA album in irony and sarcasm).....

irony and sarcasm are subjective, and hence, you cannot prove I am being sarcastic or ironic; it's a FREE FORUM, this thread is not breaking ANY of the rules of this forum or website

pd: and yet you posted in the fabulous aoa vs black album thread...

"Sign O The Times" beats, kicks, stomps, and pisses all over this shit hop disgrace of a new album. Hell, even "Kamasutra" is better than this shit.

Andy is a four letter word.

AOA is a far stronger sequenced album than SOTT.

SOTT was not a strong concept album. Prince through a bunch of stuff at the wall, and 70% of it stuck with SOTT. It just so happens that the 70% that stuck was really, really, really good.

Agreed. AOA suppasses SOTT, Parade, Purple Rain ATWIAD and Lovesexy, for being the only Prince album to sound current. Artificial Cage brings everything that is legendary about Pitbull and Durelo into the purple world.

In Josh, Prince has found the next Brian Eno; coupled with the thought provoking writing on new classics like "U Know"; Prince has finally cast When Doves Cry to the waste bin of history.

When a new greatest hits is issued by Warner, The line will be amazing....1999, Doves, Kiss, This Is What It Feels Like.



AOA truely is the the new gold standard many seem to be proclaiming. What year will it be elegible for immediate entry into the National Recording Registry?

since AOA is creating the most polarizing (hate it or love it) fan reviews of a Prince album since, probably, TRC, you know it would actually be an interesting idea to create an alternative sticky "AOA: NAYSAYERS REVIEWS ONLY" to avoid such confrontation

I respect everyone's opinion on here and like with most Prince projects this has driven a little wedge in our merry band of Uptown dwellers. That being said, I get not liking the CD but HATING it to the extent that some people have shown, that I don't get. One man's papaya is another man's rhubarb. I happen to think it is Prince being Prince, not Prince trying to sound like Prince. I like it's weirdness. I have found most of his 2000s output watered down and I feel like he put focus on this. Look I didn't like New Power Soul for instance or Chaos and Disorder but I didn't treat it like it stole my cattle and peed on my grandmother. I do appreciate the humor and writing of the Orgers who seem to be the sharpest critics so I am assuming that it is not actual blind hatred like it is coming off but more taking the piss out of a project they do not care for. But maybe people do hate it that much...I guess love or hate is better than the ambivalence that many of Prince's projects have garnered in the last several years.

All good things they say never last...

I can only agree with Joe T, AOA is better than SOTT.

SOTT is ok, but never reach the peak of creativity that we can found in AOA. Frankly, the intro of "cage" reminds me of the best things prince ever done.

With AOA, it's the return of great melodies that are not repetitive. TIME, for instance, is like a classic opera rock track, very progressive. Plus the huge vocal performance of Prince can clearly be heard throughout the track.

I always thought SOTT was way too long : why a double LP, when you can't find enough song to make an EP ?

I understand people hating the CD. I do not understand the need to create new threads to hate it when you have already hated it in every other effing thread. Do not spend so much time and energy on something you hate so much, it will make you happier and you will live longer.

Too right - "Drip-drop, drip-drop - water, water, water" - horrific. The beginning of the end.
