Anji said: metalorange, let me tell u something.
Prince is FULLY AWARE of how Musicology was perceived by many old fans of his. N e 1 who thinks otherwise just doesn't no the man, or how we thinks. He keeps a very sharp eye on things, even message boards (his own, mind). Yes, the new album will b promoted 2 build on the successful strategy shaped by Musicology but it is xpected 2 differ n the respect that this time around, he's designing the music 2 appeal 2 old fans of his music. By CONtrast, Musicology was designed 2 give new fans a taste of who Prince is, many of them not b ing around n his prime. Furthermore, there is a reason y there have been leaks of musical collaborations with those from his past over the past year. He knows he wants 2 create 'a record' this time around, not just a vehicle 4 his music again. N there's a reason y he's taking his time. peace . [Edited 7/1/05 9:15am] Well, I read these boards as much as anyone but I wouldn't venture a definitive statement that I know exactly how Musicology was perceived by old fans, all I could say is in general I think some liked it and some didn't, pretty much like every Prince album really. The NPGMC board is well known for being far less critical than here, so he would be more likely to think it was received fantastically by fans from reading posts over there. Besides, if he was so concerned about what old fans wanted, he'd have released a Crystal Ball 2 by now! Isn't a 'record' always a 'vehicle 4 his music' by definition?! You seem to be suggesting Prince is working with old friends in an attempt to recapture an 'old school sound', which would seem strange as on many occasions Prince has stated he doesn't so much concern himself with the past and would rather concentrate on new music for the here and now. However I'm prepared to wait and see. 'N the reason he is taking his time' is what we are discussing on this thread, so don't keep it secret, enlighten us! | |

knowledge right now of the new album's title and tracklist, it would probably change by the time it's released in September, so there's little point in worrying about it. Why do you say September - do you know something???? Isn't it a little too late for a September release? We are into July now & no word. I would think at this point the earliest would be a late October or a November release date. | |

MidnightFunk said: Anx is right....
Musicology was the LAST BIG thang....I think we will EVER see from Prince it's gonna b a NEW thang from now on..... there will always b music...there will always b Prince but u won't see another 2004.... Hope u all enjoyed it.... i breathed 2004. i breathed Prince for a year and a half, choked, then when he came to Cincinnati for the Musicology Tour, my friend andy told me that that was probly the last time i'd ever see Prince in concert ever. and it was my first time seeing him too, so i am prayin that that will not come true.

BorisFishpaw said: Until the new album hits the shelves no-one can say for sure what it'll be like.
If there's one thing you should be used to as a Prince fan, it's that he changes his mind about stuff right up to the last minute. Even if we had full knowledge right now of the new album's title and tracklist, it would probably change by the time it's released in September, so there's little point in worrying about it. this is why the liner notes on his albums are always chock full of typos and sometimes the lyric sheets are noticeably different than what's being sung on the album... | |

After all is said and done, everything returns to one - music | |

Yes, all that talk and no action from Prince last year. He just sat on his ass and made 98 million dollars, sold 2 million CD's and turned the industry on it's head. (LOL) | |

hopefully i'm wrong on this. Did you see him with those pyjamas at the NAACP awards? I mean he'll be coming on with his heeled grandad slippers soon 
Music is getting crapper and dumber to suit George Bush's plans of brain numbing kids.  Prince surely isnt gonna be part of that to go full on commercial like he did with Musicology anymore. I reckon he should personally deliver vault releases to all his fans every month Vault releases... yeh im sure he's got plenty jams there but do you really think we have not heard some of the best of whats there already, i mean why would he hold back on his best stuff ? I think for an artist to stay inspired and produce fresh stuff it helps to try new things, im not sure that the days spent isolating himself at Paisly and just self indulging in his own stuff has necesarily produced a lot of inspiring , fresh material...i could be wrong but its just a thought, maybe him shifting location to L.A and being in different environment etc may further inspire his creativity. | |

God, imagine the debates that would spring up between the 'I prefer the Revolution/Lovesexy/old NPG/new NPG' camps. It would be civil war. | |

Wasnt the Musicology tour Prince's last time touring? If so, then its probably safe to say that Prince's career is becoming less active. Too bad he doesnt have any kids - I think he just needs some sort of movitation cause he aint listening to his fans. | |

It don't think that Musicology would be his last tour. I might be the last time that we hear those old songs again,(even that is unlikely). This is a wait and see period for him."We wait and we see" [Edited 7/25/05 9:56am] "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

Well, if he had his way, I think he would have put out 4 albums a year, let's not forget Warner Bros. When he does indeed put out something, there are those who are sure to buy it. Like, I said in another tread, he is at the point in his career where he is doing this for the love and joy of it. Not really for the money.
