SHORT REVIEW OF 3121 IN LE PARISIEN (France)

Ok. There is a full page about Prince's listening party that happened at his place in LA.

The journalist just writes 3 lines about the new album. He thinks it is pretty bad and that you have to count the number of good moments on it.

He then ends the article stating that Prince is still amazing on stage and that's the only thing that matters.

confused

I so agree with you. He spends the first half of the article wondering why the album is entitled 3121 ?!!!! Knowing that he has been invited to Prince's house without getting the link with his address makes him look pretty stupid. lol

Well, sounds like your review would have not been very neutral then, would it smile

Funny how every time someone writes something bad about Prince he is considered a punk ass, etc.

Whereas journalists with a positive review are "spot on, great review"....

cool

No it's not what I meant personnaly. But the guy writes on a full page and half of it is about how he got to Prince's place and where does the title 3121 comes from when he has been in the house for fuck's sake in the first place ?!!!

Then you just have 2 sentences about 3121. And the rest of the article about the next he is looking forward to.

It is just not great journalism, is it ? lol

Doesn't sound like someone who really gave a crap as to whether they were there or not.

Probably a job obligation.

If that's all there was to the review then it's a throw away with no significance. Back up good/bad reviews with a reason and some substance.

Hint #1: 3121 is probably on the mailbox you moron.

re: mailbox comment

the actual address is not 3121.

its something like 13121
or 31210

or not at all
that street he lives on does not contain the actual address 3121

not that, that should really matter
the reviewer should still know whats going on.....

but remember some of the folx on this message board as well as folx over at the quake that heard the record already
described it as Musicology pt 2
and gave thier own luke warm reviews
only time will tell

I have no idea about the address thing just playin.

Have there really been reviews of the album by message board folks?
I'd like to read some if you have a map.

I can't wait to hear the whole of "3121" because I don't get a "lukewarm" vibe from the project at all. "TAC," "BS," "BL&B" and "Fury" are great to me and I just can't see an album with (at minimum) four very strong cuts being mediocre.

Even if some folks really have heard the album and feel it is a letdown, I'm not concerned because it sounds like their taste is probably a long way from mine.

Peace, David
