When I first got 3121 i listened to it ALOT!!! After that i had a break from it, today I am listening to it again after a while and all i can say is WOW!! It hasn't lost any of it's quality, in fact listening to it without the prejudice of fan or magazine reviews, i actually like it alot more, this album flows so nicely.

Even songs like Incense and Candles, which i was indifferent to has now really grown on me. I really think this album stands up to some of princes better albums and I hope that it is a fan favourite like it is to me!!

Congratulations Prince on a really top album!!



one of his best ever, imo

i have a cd storage compartment for the six to eight cd's that i play most often. i also have an arm rest compartment for about ten cd's that i play less often. well, today prince's 3121 got moved into the arm rest compartment. usually within two months those cd's end up on a shelve that rarely get played.

goodbye 3121...for now.

I adore Prince, but think 3121 is boring with the exception of 1 or 2 songs. I've thrown the CD in the car glove compartment,sad

i still listen but it feels like i've had it forever u know like emancipation for some reason. the second disc of emancipation gets heavy rotation in my player and this album doesn't feel new. also i wish i had the choice of Tamar or not. she was crammed down my throat. i know i'm gonna look back later while listening to this album and say whatever happened to her? and i don't want that kind of album in my collection i wish he would just keep her a side project this way i can choose whether i want to hear her or not.
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

I think you guys are ridiculous.

The "typical Prince fan attitude" is starting to piss me off. What do you want from him? The man is 50 years old and has been established as a musical genius and a pop/rock/funk legend for the good part of those 50 years. He has created songs in just about every single genre that exists, and has so many amazing cds that have fans worldwide.

3121 is an awesome album. It has songs that you KNOW you like. Whether you want to admit that you like them or not, because they don't sound like songs from "The Rainbow Children" or "Sign of the Times" which (in my opinion) are overrated, there are still good Prince songs on 3121.

If I were Prince and read all these negative comments from you all, I'd stop making new music PERIOD and just hang up the towel. HOW can you claim to be a fan of the man and criticize EVERYTHING he does? Saying things like you're using his latest cd to level your couch is just plain RUDE and so amazingly disrespectful.

3121 isn't nearly as bad as you guys are making yourselves believe. ALLOW yourself to enjoy the cd. Go back and actually LISTEN to the songs instead of just compulsively skipping the ones that you didn't like at first. I used to hate Satisfied but after seeing him perform it on American Idol I actually enjoy the song now. Please please PLEASE go back and give 3121 another spin and just open your ears and listen to the music. Hear the beats... understand the words.. just listen to the man. His music is great, he is great, and you all need to start being fans instead of judges.

Trickology

The album is a coaster after 1 listen. (And i don't mean roller I mean drink) I said "This is coaster material and I am so not going to fork over money for this" Everything about it to me was a example of Prince not being inspired to write or record. How many times can you whine over Mani leaving you and JW scripture like it's some enlightening key to a purpose driven life? Go see the World Princey get out of your limo and your rented 3121 pad at Mulholland.

The only thing Prince did right about this album was end it. IF there was no ending he would have created a holy new power jihad on the entire globe.
If "Get on the Boat" was infinite? We would have serious bloodshed and violence even in Mormon communities.


Get on the coaster,people

3121 is still his best album since Gold Experience, hands down.

Delete TAC and We March and, man, those two albums could be his masterpieces.
