Purple Rain.


I doubt anyone will say Musicology but that doesnt mean its a bad album.
Its a little unfair to compare any album to Purple Rain unless its SOTT or LoveSexy even 1999.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

LOL Exactly.

What the hell kind of comparison is this?!

Purple Rain for the so obvious it's beyond ridiculous winner.

What's the next competition gonna be? Maybe Lovesexy vs. The Chocolate Invasion?

honestly..and i say this not to offend no one but i would chose neither. Musicology i excuse becuase i have not heard it. Purple rain to me sounds a bit fake, i mean the music was good and all. its just prince not being orginal sounds like he's trying to please a bigger audience,in which he did. i mean if you look back at works like dirty mind and 1999, and controversy thier prince expirementing but he gives us that "funky" signature he all to famous for...with that said..i dont want to get anyone mad..sorry its my opinion..

i'm not sure about that... nothing sound like Purple Rain at the time. but it wasn't long before most everything on the radio did. maybe that's what makes it sound fake today, but at the time -- it was unique.

oh...i did not know that..you see just recently i had the pleasure of listening to all the prince albums..and what not...and purple rain does not sound like trademark of what we would expect from prince.with that said,its not a bad album,its just a very unique album,which is good,but i was speaking on a base of a person whom is aldready accostumed to listening to the trade mark prince sound. on and by the way,i really like your avatar,do you mind me asking what anime is that from,thank you.

Yea? I think it's painfully mediocre.

Because I don't much care for an album? Wow, that's not melodramatic at all.

Prince just doesn't sound inspired or urgent on Musicology; it's nothing more than a laid back recycled mesh of stuff he's done before much, much better.

I think it was just an album he didn't put much effort in, since his real focus in 2004 seemed to be the tour.

Prince himself said about Musicology, "It's a record meant to accompany the concert experience."

That to me speaks volumes. Musicology isn't something he put his heart into, or tried with everything in him to make great.
