This track is killer. Love the Tony M lines too.

It is an odd song as infact alot of piono is used upfront. some nice scratching too.

Mayte makes an early solo appearance.....

Remember the video? Yeah, pretty boring really.....

"yo baby, tell me where the parties at?".....


You go to the max?

He performed this on the Arsenio Hall show back in the day... with Mayte (very sexy) and the dancers and his entourage.. it was really slamming.

whoa!! please tell someone has a freakin link!!!! by the way I so love this song!!! Yo baby tell me where the party!

The first time I heard this song, and indeed the entire album " ", I was in love. The way he beats on that damned piano, and they way the rythim section is uncomfortably tense yet catchy--it was terrific.

Nowadays, I don't listen to it much as I can't get over Tony M's interludes and Prince's voice is just a wee bit tooo high for me. But from time to time, I look past those things and drown in it's funk.

Gawd I love that album. It would've been nice if it was a perfect album, but with so many great tracks ( 7, The Max, God Created Women, 3 Chains, The Morning Papers, Damn U) it damned well good enough for me.

i like,,,

me too !

:thumsup:

AWESOME track!

My younger brother, who is also a fan, lives over seas. I remember when this album came out, and we were discussing it over the phone. I LOVED The Max. He HATED it. I was shocked!

About 2 months later, we were talking again, and he said, "Ok, I was wrong. The Max kicks a**. I dunno what I was thinking when I said I hated it. I must have been trippin'."

I have found that the song I liked the least upon the first listen ends up being on of my favorite tracks.

I was there at the Arsenio Hall show when they performed tracks from this album, and it was wild!

**LoveLife, LoveGod, LoveSexy**

Definitely one of my favourites!

The Max is still one of my favs off of . I always believed that it would have been a hit had it been released in the spring/summer of 93. I could see it playing in all of the clubs cause you can't sit still on that one. Ah, the memories .

I love that song. Good one to play to get one's day started, get the blood circulating

I think it would of been a hit too.

Seriously resisting the urge to let loose on Tony M, so I'll just say I like DAMN U.

I listened to it for the first time in a while last week and I've got to say it is one of his strongest albums. I like "the max" too and it's one of the few tracks Tony M adds something positive too. I don't think this song would've been a hit though because it is a more hip-hop inspired track than a pop one and it wouldn't have flown with that crowd.

The song is happiness

OMG! I love that song too. Though, I admit it to NO ONE!!!

Great to c positive vibes to this track. I thought I was the only one who loved this track.

When the drums kick in (after that great intro and the piano and the scratch) it is all over. U got to get up and start dancing like MC Hammer.


The song seems to be spiritual too, but I don't really c that....."lets go"!

It's just odd that the piAno is the donimant one on this track....._

I would LOVE it if this Prince put out another album like with the rap parts taken out but with the same vibe.

I LOVE the entire album and The Max is just one of the many reasons why.

The Max is cool...plus, the guitar line from Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic is all throughout the song. Notice that?

K, someone's got to bring the haterade, so I guess it's me. Actually, I don't really hate it per se, but to me it always sounded like some Jam-Lewis reject from "Rhythm Nation." I dunno, all the "let's gos!" and the awful "I go to the Max" just sound like something even Janet would've passed on. That said, I like the piano riffs.

I have been listening to this CD for the past week. It is officially a top 6 album. It has aged very well. The Sacrifice of Victor is even great. This CD has an edge not found on many albums since. To me, Purple Rain, Lovesexy, Gold, 1999, 0+>, and Parade are the pinnacle albums of his career and define his greatness.

Don't forget the Versace Pix!
He was clean!

That was the pinnacle of heroin and the skeletor look.

I LOVE THIS SONG but Tony M sounds like Yogi Bear to me "yo boo boo, tell me where the party's at"

the album kicks major ass from start to finish and the Max is a DAMN GOOD song. I love the piano in that song.
