Thoughts on These Songs The are a lot of songs that I like/love that rarely get discussed. I'd love to hear some opinions about some of these.

Let's Work - Fantastic song. Awesome bass guitar, and tons of energy. Funky as hell. 5/5
Slow Love - I actually really like this song. It's sweet and melodic. Sure, he's done this type of ballad better, but it's still very pretty. 4/5 Thunder - A little plastic, and it drags on. It's got some life to it, but it gets tedious. 3/5 Violet The Organ Grinder - Sexy, cool, catchy, melodic song. Classic Prince pop. 5/5 Dreamin' About U - There's something hypnotic about this one. You'll probably either find it enchanting or boring as hell. I find it to be the former. 4/5 Calhoun Square - Quality track. Tight playing, with a fresh, vibrant sound. 4/5 Dionne - The fuck? 3rd Eye - Wha? One of Your Tears - Pleasant sounding and has a nice whimsical sound. Prince's vocals are beautifully pained in a subtle way. 4/5 Mad Sex - I like the music, but I actually find Prince's vocal style here slightly annoying. 3.5/5 The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I absolutely LOVE this track. It's easily my fave over everything on Diamonds & Pearls. I really wish it had been a normal album cut. | |

Personally speaking, I think it would have been ideal tracked after Gett Off - Gett Off starts with Prince's scream then segues into Violet The Organ Grinder with the very same. Given the choice, I would have placed it there instead of the far weaker 'Walk Don't Walk'. But then again, Prince was going for a commerical album and maybe 'Violet' was a little too 'out there' for inclusion. Besides, I'm not Prince, so WTF do I know, right? 'Sha la la la laaaa...' | |
