when i first bought it i was instantly drawn to disc three - i liked the more up-tempo, techno-ish stuff on there, and i think "the love we make" is an excellent song. after a while, i slowly warmed up to disc one, though there are a few songs on there i can hardly stomach. i still can't handle disc two - it's too saccharin for my tastes, and in light of what happened with mayte and the baby, it's kind of depressing to listen to. though i DO like "joint 2 joint" a whole lot.

I like Discs 1 and 3 but Disc 2 is phenomenol. P poured his exposed his fellings big-time throughout most of that disc. It contains the most beautiful lyrics and expresses alot of heartfelt love more than any other P music I've ever heard. I suggest you listen to it quick!!!

emancipation is way underrated. at first i felt the same wqay as u, 3 hrs of music? its a lot, but just listen to it a few times, and then ull start to get the whole thing. one of my favs

Wow, a lot of people here are nothing like me. I want as many songs as I can get.

The songs I like are these:

Disc 1: Right Back Here In My Arms (it's alright)
Big White Mansion
Damned If I Do
I Can't Make U Love Me
In this Bed I Scream (the best on this disc)

Disc 2: The whole thing. (Soul Sanctuary and Joint 2 Joint are the standouts)

Disc 3: New World, Human Body, and Sleep Around are cool, as is My Computer.
One of Us is really good.
The Love We Make is the only song on Emancipation I would consider a classic, must
hear.

This particular cd, I had great difficulty with. U C 2 me it was the 1 he made while married 2 Mayte and I was hatin' real hard on that so it sat on the shelf 4 2 years b4 I even listened 2 it, crazy right?

Anyway the 1 song that pulled me n and wouldn't let go was JOINT 2 JOINT!
Highly recomend that 1. I immediately went out and bought some soy milk and captain crunch cereal because my favorite line in the song goes, u'll c listen 4 yourself .

You could come up with some good choreography to that song

What is the deal with "Sole Sanctuary"? When he starts singing "your screams are like a prayer" I started wondering if this was more than than a love song.....although lots of his love songs have that kind of stuff.....anyone have any theories about that?
