and its not about being negative, yes everybody here is gushing and a couple of us see things a wee diffrent,I am a big fan, I happen to agree he is still a great performer, but i also agree with ALL the music critics, and most of the music buying public when it comes to his new music.
I'm just cracking the door open here letting a little bit of reality in here.
I wouldnt want swing it wide open because it may harm so of you.

Pretty much my take

And I hate when people say all or most... as if they're some sort of appointed representative of the masses.

So how did 'Planet Earth' get all those glowing reviews?

I've actually been there. Very cool island, owned by the British, right off the southern coast of Spain.

That doesn't answer the question. All that says is that not ALL the reviews were glowing. It doesn't explain the critics that gave it glowing reviews although I did see your remarks about critics later reassessments and Prince getting a ride on his laurels as it were.

Since when do you care about a new Prince cd ? We already know you're gonna hate 99% of the tracks.
You're not gonna like it. It won't be bland, cold and depressing.

wow, I feel honored, and perhaps a little creeped out you have to lash out your anger towards someone who doesn't feel the same away about the music that you obviously enjoy. It is both sad and interesting.

What I dislike, and appreciate in music must be entirely on a different level than you.

It is stated very well on this site. This is a discussion forum. I will keep giving negative comments towards the music if it sucks. Don't worry about that my friend. I find you purple kool aid drinkers hilarious and it frankly makes me laugh out loud to see you get so damn choked up over someone else feeling so differently than you.

Now, get back in your stable and don't come out till we tell you to.

Crimson Clover and Here I come are just great songs! ....
I love how he has a scene from Purple Rain on an old TV set...
I'm glad that he has this new site up....
Overall I love this new site though.

Crimson Clover and Here I come are just great songs! I knew one day he would directly put Jimi in there somewhere and HOTDAMN, he did it! Here I come is a very very commercial song, very SADE, like he said, that song out of the 3 will get the most airplay if any of them do. I love how he has a scene from Purple Rain on an old TV set, I wonder if he's directly or indrectly saying that that era is over with like he did on the album Come where he put his birth and death dates on there (for business reason), is he saying f the record Co.s? I'm glad that he has this new site up. I don't like that other song too much, he needs to put that Lynn drum to rest in my opinion. He used it on Rave and it didn't work. Overall I love this new site though.

I think prince has missed out on the fact that sade has continued to perform and record. I dont think the purple rain image is anything other than a metaphor for watching videos the tv is obviously going to be the click through or represents the future click thru for watching videos. the pyramids are interesting tho i think we are seeing a more mystical era with prince again he seems to be leaving the hard core zealous jw stuff behind, musically at least and the imagery is opposed to that religion. He seems to be referring back to his earlier yearning towards eygpt and GOLD plus the choice of title for the album and site is interesting, thats following his idea with 3121 to name the site after the album.

i am confused however by him using mplsound.com to load the songs then retract the site very odd. and to have a facebook group called that which notified us of the songs etc.

it appeared almost as tho he launched it himself and then decided to get a couple of web designers to knock up a flash image and relaunch the site under its new name or perhaps the name of the second album and yet the songs from mplsound are playing on lotusflow3r. or he liked the imagery and renamed it - i dont know its all very, very ..uuummm.. well - Prince.




oh yes i forgot to add that the images to me appear to be a representation of 'time' which is also odd for our recent prince who openly rejected time and its passing.

the two stones are possibly the two tablets of the ten commandments, you also have two pyramids, marking a moment in time of the world and the city scape is to represent the modern world.

the stones could also be the designers idea and a representation of the beginning of the earth. its interesting he's still using his image as a deity figure given hes a jw.

i get a feel that maybe prince has finally moved on from his bad karma days and is entering a more fulfilled era - shit i sound like a tarot reader lol
