3. Prince
Musicology
(From USA)

Although he says it's not a comeback, Prince has been away. Not necessarily the Prince we love, but the Prince we knew left us somewhere in the mid-nineties. And we missed him. Well, the Prince we know and love is back...and with a vengence.
Musicology, arguably, is his best outing since Sign of the Times (Some Gold Experience fans might argue this point). No longer trying to keep pace, Prince remembers that he's best when he's setting it. On this disc, Prince seems to understand that with his talent, he doesn't have to be overtly commercial (Rave N2 TJF) or [adult content] (Almost anything in his Warners catalog) to put out a steller piece of work. While Cinnamon Girl is a throwback to his 80's heyday, the title track is a throwback to the origins of funk. He leaves out the esoteric spirituality that dogged Rainbow Children, but, thankfully, remembers his way around a slow jam - see On the Couch and Call My Name.
He believes in equality (Mr. Man) and monogomy (What do U Want Me 2 Do?)...and partying to funky music!
The next single should be If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life or Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance(please do a decent video!), but this disc has several singles begging to be released.
The last time a Prince disc was this satisfying for me was 1987. This has been a great year for Prince - Hall of Fame, Grammys, sold-out tour, critical accolades, and hit CD!
The bottom line is, if you are a Prince fan on any level you gotta add this to your collection.
There are a number of really catchy tunes and beautiful ballads, and although it may lack the consistency of some of Prince's legenday albums, it is still a great listen and will undoubtedly grow on you with repeated listenings.
