PrintableLove is the shit, but is is no fecal classic, but for shit, it is good shit.
A splended bowel movement, to be sure. Would keep Jesus regular. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Sometimes you have to put a song's lyrics in perspective.
Love is a pop song first and foremost, and the lyrics are quite good within that context. For a more serious song, I'd agree that the lyrics should be more mature and deep. But here, they're perfectly fitting. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

A flip remark from Wall that both isn't constructive and says the same thing again and again. Say it ain't so! The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Oh please. Get a sense of humor and don't be so defensive. And like you're not beating the same drum over and over again. You think it's a classic album, we get it. I think't shite, we get it, too. I don't understand why some of you take remarks about Prince's music so personal. That's got to hurt your critical capacity, I would think. No hard feelings. | |

My remark was 100% serious? Wow, someone has perception problems.
I think it's a classic album? Could've fooled me. I remember stating that I'd rate it no higher than 4/5. That's hardly classic status to me. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I don't understand why some of you take remarks about Prince's music so personal. That's got to hurt your critical capacity, I would think. It's because it seems to be your only focus, responding to pretty much anyone who says something positive about 3121 or any song on it. Someone says "I love this song", 80% guarantee Wall will be there to respond with "It's shit". It's almost as if it's your goal to be the wet blanket. | |

I've tried to not respond to most of the praise threads. But when someone labels Love a Prince classic, my opinion is so strong against such the statement that I had to speak up. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, if you think this album is one of his best, or the best in 10 years, etc, then you win, but as being that we're on a message board that isn't a Prince shrine, I think I'm within my rights to give my own two cents on what I think is a shite album. And again, we're talking about music, I don't understand why my opinion is a 'wet blanket' just because I think this album is a clunker. I thought what separated this place from other boards was the fact that everyone here wasn't in that bizarre, cultic 'fam' mindset where Prince can do no wrong. No hard feelings. | |

You already made your feelings on the song known earlier in the thread. Your last comment offered nothing constructive. It was just a chance for you to chime in again that you think the song sucks. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

So if you make a positive comment on a song more than once can I come do some mini-policing, noting that you "Already said you liked it." Now, all this discussion about me is taking this thread off-topic, I think. Let's get back to how lame this song is. No hard feelings. | |

If you don't offer anything constructive with your new criticism, then yes, you'll get called out on it. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Please...stop with the distortions of people's posts, especially mine...either that, or you really need some reading comprehension skill improvement. I'll say it again as clearly as possible...I explained why people react to you the way they do...I did not say you didn't have a right to be the way you are or post what you do. Talk about being "within your rights" is so irrelevant I scratch my head at why you bother to include it. And labeling those people who find your one-note approach to posting your opinions irritating as being a part of some "bizarre cultic fam mindset" is really weak. And for the record PurpleKnight is the LAST person who would fit that description...lol  ...He and I have gotten into heated debate about things he's found fault in when it comes to Prince's output, so I can attest that whatever his criticisms of your posts may be, they are NOT based on him wanting a message board in which "Prince can do no wrong"..lol | |

I can't believe how much I'm starting to enjoy the WHOLE album. Strange but true. In fact there is not a single wrong song on this record. It just has peaks and valleys, which is just perfect. The Colors R brighter, the Bond is much tighter

So true. That's why the survivor thread is so hard for this album. | |

Only around here and to the die-hards. Imho it's a stale number with terrible lyrics. With you completely. A melodic retread of "Your Love is So Hard" with some truly Britney-like production. It's the most depressingly rote song he's done since "The Max." | |

The Dance is still killing me five days later. The DAnce I just previewed last week, then half yesterday, and the whole today 
WHAT AN ENDING. Someone said it reminded them of Beautiful Ones, but not at all to me, this was totally different, and so was the subject matter..I can relate to it in every way. It is one fascinating song. Oh and LOVE is a hot song! The lyric arrangement is what makes it stand out too. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

I keep giving this song more chances but it just gets worse for me. I know, beat a dead horse, but that opening just puts an MTV "Making of the new Usher video," into my head, the glories of rhythm guitar be damned. And, paraphrasing, "love is like a bird that spreads its wings"? Whew. I'm surprised someone with a name like Byron would put such tripe in his sig.  (And I mean lyrics from this song, I know you dont have that exact quote and I'm only referring to you with this one statement)

Anybody else get the feeling that "Love" is more about music crtics than a potential breakup?
And I swear that he refrences the Larry/Kirk Haters too. What's the point in giving me ultimatums Smiling at my friends when you really hate them Trying to convince me that I should too ... what's the point?! I love this song too... [Edited 3/11/06 23:26pm] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I believe Love is about his fanbase: Wishlists, ultimatums. Folks always talking shit about Larry and how they took nasty Prince away. I'm glad he's finally saying something about it.And I swear that he refrences the Larry/Kirk Haters too.
