OK, so by now we've all heard TAC, Black Sweat, BL&B and Fury. We've seen two videos, and it's more than likely that the album cover will be similar to the Black Sweat cover.

As we get closer to the release date, you know the tracklist will leak and we'll see multiple threads containing song titles, song descriptions and 3121 album art.

For those of us who love visiting the org, especially the Prince: Music and More section, but want to avoid the album spoilers and be in for a treat on 3/21, it will be nigh-impossible to be spoiler-free before then.

Is there any way that mods could request people include something along the lines of "includes 3121 spoiler" in the title of threads, or something similar, so those of us who want to enjoy the surprise on 3/21 don't have to avoid the org altogether? I would find it very hard to stay away altogether.

once the cover art leaks, it's gonna be all over the place. kinda hard to keep that contained. in fact, i think it's already in your avatar.

but if last time was any indication, it's pretty easy to spot threads about track lists, liner note scans, etc. the hard part is not clicking!

What will be hard, is, for example, titles like those back in 2004 - "Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance - the best song title ever", "Prince says Call My Name is his favorite song" etc. - those are the kind of titles I won't want to see before I get the album. I just want to be surprised on release date, and not already know all the song titles. Unfortunately, those are the ones I can't avoid by not clicking on the thread because they're in the title.

That'll be a nigh-on impossible job to do, so I think we can safely say no to that one I'm afraid. I think you've probably only got two choices:

1) Hold on tight and enjoy the ride

2) Don't log on to any Prince/music related websites until the day of release

I think I tried that before Musicology - my time away from the org probably lasted, oh, five minutes...
