3121 reviews(PEOPLE) & ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Although the the reviews aren't online yet I was at the newsstand today and in the new editions of EW and PEOPLE they have 3121 reviews.EW gives it a C+ and PEOPLE rates it 3 & 1/2 stars.

What??? C+ ??? Wow. I love EW but 3121 is easily an A- or B+.

It's his best album in years.

EW missed the mark but as long as he gets back on the cover where he belongs then we'll be cool again. People knows what's up and he better be back on the cover of that magazine too.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Three and a half stars? Another one of my pet hates. If you require the use of a half when marking out of 5, then why the hell not just stick to marking out of 10 and use full stars? It amounts to the same thing. Or use a percentage for heaven's sake.

C+? Jeez, how vague. In my O-levels C+ was a fail. In my A-levels it was a pass. Go figure.

Sorry to say it, but I bet we'll get a lot more like this.
I think it's a B or B+, but i'm a rabid fan. You can count on the press going a grade lower.

You have to factor in everyone. Hey, George Bush Jr. Was happy to get a C+ in college and he is now the president puppet.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.
