Let me set the stage for you guys, it was 1998 was loving the gold experience, liking C&D and Emancipation, and had mixed reviews about Crystal ball. So I was hungry for some new Prince music, then he released NPS in July, after I listened to it start to finish (thats the only way i can judge an album) I was like "OH MY GOD..WTF is this???? I never listen to it again, that is until last night...I respect all my orgers here opinion, some like it, some hate it.

My boy Prince was seriously confused with this album, I listen to the 1st 2 songs and it was like 1998 all over again, I couldn't stand it anymore, I put the window down and out it went!!!

the songs, Larry, him trying to be hip hop, ugggghhhhh

not a great, good, or even accidentslly of either. The album plain just sucks!!!

you cracked my windshield, goddamn you!
( )
but I don't blame you

funny u kept since 98

Currently, you can buy it on amazon.com for US$1. That speaks volumes right there.

that is the worst album ive got by any artist, not just P. if i wasnt such a die hard fan he would have lost me with that absolute crap. who says P wasnt in2 drugs???? thats the only way i could listen 2 it now.
mayb they should play it on Iraqi streets with a loud speaker, that would definately clear the streets when they wanted 2

It also makes a great coaster. Pure crap indeed (sorry to The One however)

I think my NPS CD needs some similar fate!

Hey, has anybody got some good idea?

It ranks in my bottom 3 Prince CDs (with Rave and KarmaSutra), but, lordy folks, even then it's not worthy of all this intense hate. Put on Until U're In My Arms now and tell me it's really THAT much worse than "Most Beautiful Girl"....there's a few nice tracks on it. Worst album ever, by any artist? Please.

Oh come on, Come On is cool.

That's so wrong, but funny just the same!

For my part, all I can say that I definitely don't listen to it regularly...maybe I should give it another shot. I'll wait until my next little road trip on the freeway, if it sux I can try thecableguy's solution!

Give me Mad Sex, Come On, New Power Soul and The One over anything on Musicology.

Madsex is great, but the rest is crap.

shame on you
couldnt you have gotten rid of it responsibly?
if that should fall into the wrong hands theres no telling what could happen.

i mean c'mon what if a little kid picks that up?

I think Aerogram said it best in another thread - This was Prince on auto-pilot.

As I wrote in the "Case of NPS" thread, it's not his best, but some tracks are excellent (NPS, Until U're..., When U Love..., Come On, The One, Wasted Kisses). There are a lot of other pop musicians out there who would give their (Newpower) soul just to write and record one song as good as these, and that's Prince's strength: even on his worst albums, he has some tracks he kicks other peoples' ass with.

And, btw, do you really think that the highly praised Usher has ever released any track in his life that was better than the stuff on NPS? Come on, this quickly produced overrated plastic crap ("Yeah, yeah!") is an offense to my ears!

Throwing a CD out of a window doesn't seem the right way to treat the environment btw, I think polycarbonate is not biodegradable! But, besides that, it's up to you of course what you make with your CDs.

So, Prince makes better records than Usher or other chart pap - That doesn't make NPS or Rave, or Musicology a masterpiece - it's still dull, uninspired and WELL below what Prince is capable of.

I don't consider Prince to be in the same league as Usher, that's kids music, chart stuff - I doubt I could even tell you what was in the Top 40 from week to the next - it's not worth considering these days, it's dreadful music.

do you know how long it takes plastic is biodegrade?

EmancipationLover said:

This is a chiche that Prince fans insist on using to defend shitty music. Shitty music is shitty music.
