From what I've heard, the new songs available to members in 2001 were completely crap Besides TRC, which is clearly amazing.
I think I have nearly all the other stuff and it all seems pretty dire. Even a mediocre track like 'Vavoom' stands out in this bunch. :didntmissoutatall: Stuff like 'High' is just awful. It pains me to listen to it. | |

I did make a single CD of it though, and it has grown on me a little. I don't rate it as a complete 3CD album, but it has some fair moments on it. But the 2001 stuff, I'm really not feeling it. Maybe I don't have all the tracks. Name some for me if u will. What's the best stuff? Madrid 2 Chicago is ok. | |

That's a rather complex analogy, comparing downloadable Prince music with a lovely Thai woman. <<< look at her, she doesn't deserve that. ... | |

Yes, about 90% of it was awful. Props and Pounds and Northside are both embarassing. | |

Well, I had to compare it with something !!
She looks a bit pale for a Thai woman, don't you think ? Futuristic Fantasy | |

She looks a bit pale for a Thai woman, don't you think ? Dude, that girl is fine. Also, pale? Hmmm...? What does that have to do with Prince's music? | |

I agree. Right now on this site I'm having a hard time understanding musically where some fans are coming from. It's not that I think my opinion is any more valid than anyones, I just don't get it how some seem to love the 'phatness' and processed, synthesised crap of some of the 90s over the musical brilliance of TRC and innovative excellence of the 80s. I think I must be coming from a different musical background, where Jaco, Stevie, Marvin, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and Sly reign supreme. Ultimately it doesn't matter if I don't understand, but I just want to try to get a handle on it. | |

Thank u lovemachine, I appreciate it. <<< I don't think she looks pale here does she? Give her a break, that other pic was taking after she'd been dancing like crazy so she was kinda hot and the light was a little bright. Besides, what does that have to do with Prince's music??? | |

If I say something is awful that doesn't mean I'm attacking u. If u enjoy listening to them that's cool. I'm happy u like those songs. I don't get a kick out of putting people down. I just honestly think the 2001 tracks were completely crap. | |

The songs offered in this period and truly great with many songs that could have been a hit if in an album... Real killer cuts ... "Goodness will guide us when love is inside of us... The Force will be with you, always" | |

I haven't heard 'Y Should...' but all of these others I've heard but cannot get into at all. There's nothing interesting in the music. It sounds like these songs were done very quickly, hence an emphasis on keyboard sounds and programmed beats. Can I ask u what your favourite 3 Prince albums are? | |

How silly of me to think that prince.org might be somewhere appropriate to discuss the relative merits of prince music and albums. Don't be fascinated with me. There are lots of people posting about so many interesting things, some of them would u believe not even about Prince at all. | |

I didn't care for year 1's tracks either. In fact I deleted them off my hard drive when I reformatted. | |

I thought all the tracks were absolutely brilliant - listen to them all the time. Just wish we were getting the same choice this year - hope the Music Club will soon be back with us!!! | |

I hope 2003 is more like 2002. That was a good year, in the end.
