During times like this, do you go back to feel better?

I do. I put on the video of While My Guitar Gently Weeps because I think it is a classic moment where Prince proves why he is the baddest mf on the planet among the greatest artists of all time in the Hall of Fame. When he reduces himself to pandering to kids and enlisting them in his albums, I need a spoonful of sugar to make that medicine go down.

During times like this I put on the new album and play it loud. I love the times when he releases something I really enjoy.

I went back yeah, I went back and listened to AOA and the recent-ish download-only tracks and made a nice little playlist of everything I liked from these and HNR and I'm diggin' it for a bit. There's been worse albums than HNR, it's not the end of the world.

What makes you think I haven't heard the album? I didnt say that I ignored his recent material. In fact, the point is that I have indeed heard it and it inspires me to go back to better days. Apparently, like Prince albums, Comment snipped - langebleu moderator

What's worse? Maybe a reminder will somehow make me feel better HNR.

No. I enjoy the couple songs I like on the new album. I listen to other music (other artists and past Prince). And then I look forward to the next Prince album because there's a good chance I'll like that one.

Well it's all subjective isn't it - I would take HNR over 20Ten, MPLSound, Musicology, 3121, Rave. YMMV.

To answer your question: actually no, maybe if you can justify why we need another "I don't like HNR" thread then your question will deserve an answer.

Yes. This SOOOO reminds me of when he released 'Around The World In A Day' and it was so different from 'Purple Rain' that I had to get a new hairstyle.

Wow, that's rough. Out of all those, only MPLSound is nearly as bad as HNR to my ears. Guess we'll just disagree on this one -- you're right it is subjective. Musicology is my top 15 Prince albums and probably the 5th most listened to since my wife likes it a lot. The songwriting is solid. And the last 5 songs especially are killer.

FUNKYNESS and I will never know what insults we hurled at each other. Sorry for making you get out your scissors, Langebleu.

I insulted no one as I stopped resorting to name calling when I became a man several decades ago. I appreciate the removal of such names used in reference to me for having an opinion and asking a question that doesn't necessarily make everyone happy. I still invite intelligent and mature responses that speak to the original post. I believe that we can all express ourselves about Prince and enjoy the forum here without attacking or devaluing ideas that are different or even unpopular.

I do not need to go back to feel better, I feel fine enjoying what I enjoy on HitnRun.

After listening to as much of HitnRun as I could bear, absolutely yes. HitnRun actually depressed me. I had to listen to an hour or so of other stuff just to be able to function properly again.

You can make a nice little playlist with the download-only tracks...

You're right. Sorry for calling you a dick (seriously, not being sarcastic).

I should clarify that I still don't think this thread has any reason to exist -there were already several HNR hate threads going when it was made-, but I recognise the insult was uncalled for.
