Most of the haterz on the org are just middle aged people that are too nostalgic of the Prince from the 80's.

It's funny how you guys are getting so riled up about other peoples opinions. If you like it, then why should it concern you if others don't? BTW, i'm 20 years old, own ALL of Prince's albums, and judging on what i've heard so far i'm not feeling the tracks, so i'm guessing your description of the term "hater" (something a teen would say) doesn't apply...

Back on topic: Will listen to on day 1, if I like it, will wait for physical release and buy (hopefully there's a vinyl release )

One thing is not liking something, which is fair enough, I'm all for different tastes. Another one is just being a hater. And if you reason like that, I don't see you as a hater only because you don't like this new album. I think the difference is clear.

The haterz invasion starts tomorrow. This album is going to give them so much to complain about...let me grab some popcorn and watch the usual suspects go bananas...

It won't be that interesting as it always boils down to one of the five reactions below::

"As expected, Prince delivers another cringe-worthy excuse for an album...or should I say he hired someone to make slightly better bullshit than he can manage to do himself these days?"

"I'm not going to buy it because I don't like his post-Lovesexy output and I'll stumble on a bit Torrent source soon OR if I can get it as a physical CD later, I won't even unseal it and keep it to sell to some desperate soul in a couple of years."

"JHC I just listened to it on Tidal/thanks to the generosity of a good friend and this sounds like roboticized Prince music for the eventual 3d Prince hologram Prince will be using in a couple of years instead of giving live concerts."

"My heartfelt admiration goes to those courageous fans that went and subjected themselves to this record to give us an idea of what lurks in its entrails so that the rest of us may be spared."

"Further proof that Prince is a lazy has-been that only cares about making money. And now you can't even say he makes nice coasters."

Exactly. You should also add something around sales/promotion etc.

P.s. they already started http://prince.org/msg/7/418584

Followed by a dismissal of anyone who likes the album as asskissers, sycophants, etc.

Do we know what time it will be available for stream? Will it be midnight in every area or a time like 9am gmt so everyone gets it on the same day? I did email tidal support but they sent a generic answer about how to request new music. Yeah, cheers guys!

The album gets released on central time so the west coast gets it early

Glad we don't have to join Tidal and a physical release will come soon. But this will be the first Prince album that I can wait for. No offense to him and Josh but they may as well be some independent Christian rock/r&b artists that nobody ever heard of. They seem to be having a great time though so at then end of the day that is all that matters really.

I keep hearing this christian thing and it's weird because they haven't done anything 'christian' sounding at all. Nothing even remotely close to the Larry Graham collabs and he didn't even mention anything about Jesus on AOA at all in fact. It's weird that people here seem to despise christians and yet some of the most prolific musicians and music has come from christians so being christian doesn't kill or curb creativity. The other point is that Josh and Prince haven't addressed Jesus or produced preachy christian rock or RNB songs so it's either people being biased against christians, biased against Joshua himself or both because the evidence in the music is contrary to this sentiment of Pince and Josh being 'christian' rock and RNB. Josh doesn't produce for 3rdeyegirl anyway. I'm not ranting just confused because some of the best musicans come from church and honed their skills in church and yet being christian is supposedly some ball and chain to creativity. Strange very strange.

Although it has changed several times both FNAC and Amazon France sites have stabilized on the 25th, which is the first date that makes sense given that it's a Friday, the new standard day for music releases.

Also, this blog by a music promoter mentions a digital retail release on the 25th as well:

Following the TIDAL debut I expect we'll get more info and perhaps news of a US release in a few days to let TIDAL milk the exclusive.

West Coast, like Somerset? I'm in the UK, so the west coast gets it the same time as the east coast.

But my cheekiness aside, I assume you are saying they release at midnight USA Central time? I think that's 6 hours behind UK, so we'll see it here about 6am. I guess I won't wait up and will grab it in the morning for listening on the way to work. Thanks for the info.

Is that like, 6am as in 10 hours time tomorrow or 6am on Tuesday? Sorry, I've had few glasses of champagne since it's my dad's birthday and I'm not quite up to the maths atm

The ten hour one, 6am Monday.

Get ready for the bitchfest.

Iron Maiden has a sixteen minute song on their new album. Why can't Prince do that?

I think MRNELSON might be a remix of Clouds. I could be wrong though.

not as big as 1346

anywho. just found out i won't be able to sit down and have a listen until tomorrow evening,

by which time i'm sure the org will have exploded.

Yeah, probably best to avoid here until you've had a listen.

I was this excited about an album when For You first came out.

oh, that's for sure. always listen once or twice, all by yourself, without reading the comments here

after that, grab a bag of chips, a cup of tea, and binge on the new album thread over here
