the problem isn't Prince. It's people with this bullshit mindset about how YOU want Prince to sound like or what YOU think Prince should do to get big numbers for the next album. Y'all giving all of this fake ass praise to Prince as a musician, performer etc and then turn around and shit on albums that are clearly a step up and beyond the montonous time warp ya'll minds are livin in. it AINT 1984 people! Purple Rain days are a wrap! I'm not saying that you don't have he right to objectively critique the music. But, I'm so sick and tired of this fake ass support for Prince and then, turn around and crap all over albums that have some really great music on them. These albums might not be certified classics but they are still part of his ongoing evolution. Please let the man evolve. At the end of the day, no matter what he releases you'll still be trying to get your hands on it. Don't front. Wow! I've been waiting since I found this site for someone to say that. Well done! A lot of people on this site aren't flexible enough to appreciate Prince's tremendous diversity as an artist. Some just want him to do the exotic stuff, while others are still waiting for him to release Purple Rain II. From Soft & Wet, to SOTT, to Cream, to The Greatest Romance, to Call My Name. Some of you so-called lovers of his music need to realize how blessed you are to be living in the same era as a musical genius such as Prince. And for the record: Musicology is a great album! Take a deep breath and enjoy it.... No one ( well, most folks) have ever said his new stuff isn't good. Compared to 99.9% of what else is out there in Radioland it's fucking incredible. It's just, well, boring compared to what he used to do. I'm not calling for Purple Rain pt. 2 or Controversy:The Sequel. Hell, I'm not even calling for a return to the 80's sound at all if that's not what he wants to do. I'm just wondering where the fire, the energy, the excitement went. Why has that spark been missing from his recent work? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I guess I just hear something different in his music that some of the others don't. To me, Prince is perhaps the one artist that can evolve and change without sounding bad. I know, I'm biased. For instance, the were parts of the N.E.W.S. that kicked ass (Track 3 - don't know title). Musicology also has several tracks that are really good. Just give it an honest chance. It seems to me that he has become a victim of this own success, even to the point where some of his fans possess unrealistic expectations of him. There's no way that his music can be as average as some here try to make it out to be. In fact, I bet that if we could somehow warp time and have Prince release When Doves Cry today, that there would still be just as many "fans" complaining about how he's lost it. Unrealistic expectations... | |

Although that's hard to recapture, I think that some stuff still comes close. For Prince, coming close makes it better than almost anything else out there. The product is still outstanding (to me), and I continue to get my money's worth. It is, however, good to hear someone say that they like Musicology. Although I hear people say it occasionally, I don't think that it's said enough. | |

I LISTENED TO IT EVERY DAY FOR ABOUT 2MO  AND I STILL LISTEN TO SOMETHING FROM IT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I AGREE ITS NOT EROTIC CITY  , ITS NOT THIEVES IN THE TEMPLE, ITS MUSICOLOGY! IT HAS A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR ALMOST EVERYONE. LET'S APPRECIATE IT FOR WHAT IT IS AND NOT COMPARE IT TO MUSIC FROM THE DAYS OF OLD! FOR LACK OF A BETTER METAPHORE HOW WOULD YOU LIKE BEING CONSTANTLY COMPARED TO AN OLD GIRL OR BOYFRIEND AND FOUND LACKING!  ?Cause me and u could have been a work of art

But I know what you mean about, that fire and excitement. Let's work, 1999.... those songs seemed like they were recorded in front of a live audience so the energy is there where Musicology sounds very clinical like it was recorded in a sound proof booth.

I really think that Prince is just going through his "thing" right now. When he's done with that everybody better watch out. It's going to be DIRTY MIND II
meets PURPLE RAIN with a hint of CONTROVERSY. I can't wait!!!!! I predict that it will happen 2 CD's after Musicology. Miguel What he said... "There comes a road in every man's journey that he's afraid to walk on his own.
I'm here to tell you, I'm at that road. And I would rather walk it with you than walk it alone". | |

Thank you chickengrease for speaking the truth on this matter. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

And stating your preferences in a thread? Personally I would love to get a new album with strong 80's material in perfect CD quality. I would actually prefer it to a release of brand new 2004 material, eventhough I still love Prince's new music a lot (Musicology included). But hey, what can I say, I would love to hear some raw Linn and Oberheim funk, or daring experimental stuff like Crystal Ball (the song)... RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

I will probally take some heat from certain folks who weren't even buying Prince
albums back in the mid-80's(these "folks" shall go nameless,i checked their profiles and lo and behold,they were very,very young children in the mid-80's). Those of us who were buying Prince albums and studying them back then seem to have an affinity to his music from that time(1978-1988).Since then we have been subjected to a completely different artist,this new dude loves to shove HIS PERSONAL religeous beliefs down our throats,the Prince we were mystified by in the 80's really never did that,he only "preached" about equality and the benifits of diversity.The new dude loves to keep shoving "smooth jazz" down our throats.The 80's Prince said that "it's time 4 jazz 2 die"...It is all subjective and a matter of personal taste.You can't say that we are "frontin"- WE WERE THERE,WHERE WERE YOU?it is easier for the younger crowd to accept some of prince's knock-off music because that is the music that they grew up on.that generation got "COME",my generation got "1999".see the difference? | |

I wish it was still like that. I'm sorry to hear about people that were too young to experience the 80's but then again there are people that feel sorry for me because I wasn't around in the 50's or 60's.

[Edited 11/23/04 14:40pm] Anyone who says that the 80's was a great musical decade are just tripping on nostalgia... The 80's were by-and-large absolutely useless... Sure, there are stand out artists, just like there are in every decade, but go back and listen to "Now thats what I call music..." Volumes 1 to 5.... My god, it is mostly crap... No soul, no heart and not very much talent... yeah, but shit - the "Now that's what I call music" series has never been...uhm... the best barometer of the best music out there. | |

But thats just the point - it is! Everyone disses music of today stating boy-bands, lip-synching, pop-idol shit etc etc... But every single decade is MOSTLY made up of all that shit anyway... Go back to any decade and listen to what was in the top 40, even in the 60's. And what you will find is most of it is one-hit wonders, fabricated company acts and down right cheesyness... Its true that there are always stand out acts that rise above the norm, but by and large, popular music is made up of 90% manufactured shyte and one-hit wonders... Its only the distance of time and nostalgia which fools the mind into believing in the greatness of any decade... 5 years from now and the 90's will start becoming nostalgic too... the 80's really was a cheesy decade, more than most (even more than today)... | |

Break out that old shit. You know, that shit you know everybody loves but you're too cool to do it again or at least release some unheard of stuff? Who cares about coming out with something new? I don't care about that. I want some of that Purple Rain/1999/betwixt Dirty Mind/Controversy dung. You know? Let's have it, chief. Let's have it and don't nobody get up in somebody's grille. [Edited 11/22/04 16:05pm] I love the 80,but i like the fact that his music changes and sounds diferent in each era.I just dont like the preaching vibe hes puting out. I prefer the sexy Prince,dancing like hell and rooling on the floor. But lets face it,he is geting older and i dont see him with bikinies any more... it would be ridiculous. | |
