Have you ever listened to "Sign O the Times?" 3121 might be better than Gwen Stefani, but it aint Princes best or even close.

"Lolita" is as corny as it gets, it reminds me of something on the Vault like "Sarah" but that cd was much better than this. Also the chords on Lolita are similar to "I Wanna Be Your Lover" but I dare you to play that song and then put on "Lolita" it sounds like an iMac with garageband.

P hasn't come out with a record that you could listen to from beginning to end since Sign...get over yourself.

And comment on what I say not what you think I am saying. This is the strongest record in a long long time for Prince from beginnng to end

3121 is not better than Emancipation or The Gold Experience. I think this is Princes's strongest album since New Power Soul.

I love this album


...in case anybody cared

yep absolutely and you will be saying the same thing in a month or so

I AGREE, however the song '3121' is funky but not for the radio.

Just like "Black Sweat" is now history.

Uptempo, Funky tunes first, "Love", "The Word", "Fury", "Beautiful...", "Lolita", "The Dance"


I say do not release the beautiful but weakest songs for Radio
like "3121","Incense and Candles", "Satisfied", "Get on the Boat"

He already released "Te amo Corazon" and "Black Sweat" and Not much Air Play.

We are buying this album for the strongest tunes

singles on the radio will not necessarily drive this albumn or its success...I think thats pretty clear. Word of mouth, and Universal marketing strategy is goin gto drive a lot of it. Hoepfully the radio part will come...Lord knows there are radio friendly songs here including Black Sweat which should be all over top 40 radio, Love and Incense and Candles which are all POP/RB flavored records and damn good ones. Fury is clear a Po rocker that will have an even tougher chance of getting played because aren't beeing played widely and programmers playing that kind of music aren't playing Prince. But perhaps radio catches the fever if atfter 2 or 3 weeks this album is still at #1 or perhaps even top 5 or 6.

In any case thats a huge if...and would only be icing. This album will sell regardless of it P has radio hits

"Love", "The Word", "Fury", "Beautiful...", "Lolita", "The Dance"


The man will make his choice anyway, but a Voice in the crowd can still be heard.
