Probably one of the weakest songs on Emancipation, but still, I am grateful for the song, any Prince song is better than no Prince song.

Yes smile. For starters, I can't stand that damn voice that goes, 'Yeah! NPG!!' Stare is by far the better use of that riff

Savior is great though, late original NPG in full effect cool

I don't dislike it... just that when I hear it I think with a more "live band" sounding production it could have been a fierce track.

Prince recorded far better jams than this one. It's generic, nothing special.

"Stare" on HNR Phase Two sounds a lot like "We gets up", but better, funkier, more organic.

I do like Saviour though, one of my favorites on the album

I love Emancipation but this song is not a favorite. The sound Reminds me of the pinball game that was on my computer at the time this was recorded.

One of those songs I don't revisit often on Emancipation's first disc. It's got a lot of energy though so there's that. Not a bad song but doesn't stand out that much to me.

That's NOT what I thought hearing The Arms of Orion, Jughead, 3 Chains o' Gold, Slave, New World, Purple and Gold and countless others... wink

I really like that pinball effect, it keeps throwing things at you. So much more fun than his more straightforward JB tributes (like The Work or Musicology).
