Incense and Candles[Cher meets Madonna!], Fury [had the life sucked out], Get on the Boat[it's that groove AGAIN] and Satisfied [errr , it's THAT groove again!] I suspect once i listen to it all in sequence i'll get to like them. How 'bout you?.

I'm happy with the album as a whole and don't find anything that I actually don't like. I think that Beautiful Loved and Blessed goes on a bit long but other than that it's a big thumbs up from me. After BLAB, Incense and Candles is my least favourite but still listenable. Once I got over the shock of Fury it has actually really grown on me and I love it. I love Get on the Boat but then again I love that groove .

Loving the crap out of 3121, Lolita, Fury, Love, Get on the Boat, Te Amo, Black Sweat and especially The Word.

3121 is no classic, but it's a big improvement on Musicology. The Word is - in my opinion - the most memorable song on there, followed by Get On The Boat, even if the latter is the sort of James Brown pastiche Prince is way too talented to be making.

It's a funky, funky joint. Makes me think very much of the Undertaker tracks with the bass, beat and that guitar solo that comes in later on. I've been wondering for a while if this is an older track from the undertaker era that has just been slightly re-jigged for 3121.
