The Dance

too boring for me

Haven't listened to any of it since about two days after it was released, and even back then I was skipping "3121", "Incense and Candles" and "BL&B"

Yet you use the album cover for an icon! Doesn't surprise me, what with a username that evokes one of his WORST albums of all time.

I like the cover... since when has music got anything 2 do with Prince lately. Newpowersoul envokes Lovesexy, the first use of it.

OK schools out...

Incense and Candles is my least favorite track on the album. I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it, but it's definitely a track I have found myself skipping past on more than 15 occasions.

I guess we are all different, for me
I think the most crap song is Incense and Candles

Incense and Candles, I just find it repetitive and crappy.

I agree Get on The Boat, is fairly lacklustre and boring song, been done before but usually much better done.

I think Blacksweat is ok the chorus is good, but the song is little bit irritating to listen to more than a few times.

Lolita entertainment wise is reasonable although very much lolly poppy type song lyrically seems more like pop for 13 year olds, but I do like the 80's style funk/dance vibe on it.

3121 is ok, but its no 1999 or Erotic City, which perhaps is what he was aiming for, but it has got an olFunk Prince Vibe which is cool.

Satisfied been done many times before this style song, but it aint so bad,its alright.

Fury I liked it when first heard it but after few listens it doesnt sound as great,its bit lacklustre sounds like track that could been on the Vault Old friends 4 sale album.

The Word Reasonable track but could have been more dynamic I think.

Love One of the best tracks on the album in my oppinion, for me this track captures the classic ol style Prince spirit that got a little lost post maybe Graffiti Bridge, the style of the chorus is pure ol school Prince at his best, think of the style of chorus in Glamourous Life, same kinda spirit.

Beautiful Loved and Blessed One of the other best tracks on the album

Incense and Candles + Satisfied

Apart from those two, it's the most listenable Prince album in many a year!

LOVE. I dont know why this song is so popular, that Indian sitar sound is so irritating. Lyrics are spoilt by the poor music.

It used to be Incense and Candles but i like this song now - it grows on u.

The best track by far is Lolita. Class! Reminds me of the Time songs.

I will usually go straight to “Black Sweat”, jump to “Satisfied”, and then listen to the rest of the album.

Incense and Candles could have been a great song if there were no Cher type voice wa-wa’s involved, more guitar to beef it up, and maybe tone down the back up singers a little. Prince needs to be the man in charge of the ladies, but the ladies seem loud and over powering in this song making it a little weak. But I like most of the lyrics in the song.

I could not listen to “The Dance” after the first two times I heard it. Now I will indulge in that song every once in awhile. I actually love the song but it weighs me down like no other making me feel like I actually cannot breathe at times, and on the verge of tears. For what ever reason this song makes me feel tormented and emotionally distressed. I have a hard time with it so most times I will skip it. But it is definitely THE song on the album.

“Get on the Boat” is our new song to kick off boating season!!!

Get on your boat people if you got one!

I like some better than others, but my least favorite is Te Amo Corazon.
I don't hate it enough to skip it, though.
I'm enjoying the whole compilation. My favorite by far is Fury, though. I love it!

Get On The Boat

people, let's just face it, topics about recent prince music can't be takin' serious no more, I mean .....

the song '3121' being embarrasment???!! my god, one of the best trax since 'days of wild' if you ask me

Lolita

My brain is going to implode....

I thought Lolita was the weakest track, but I can pretty much listen to the whole CD.

Like 'em all, except I have to turn down the volume when Black Sweat starts playing or my ears'll be ringing for days.... could have done without the deafening "whee-whee-wheeeee!!"

Anyone who voted 3121 off: you gotta listen a few times more often!
