Mostly I would say no, as there ain't enough on it to justify the price tag, but now you can find that shit in every bargain bin, I think the current prices maybe £3 in the UK, $5 in the States and $10 for us kiwis and the ozzies, in your spanish speaking part of the world I dont know -el cheapo lol or like two pesos or some shit like that.

Basically get that shit if its cheap, cause at least u have three cheep ass coasters if u hate that shit.

I play Emancipation more than most Prince albums.

There are 6 or 7 songs that I strongly dislike. But considering that it has 36 songs, that means there are 30 songs that I actually really dig.

The production is plastic--kind of a neo-sould meats electro vibe to it, but the songs are tight and romantic. It's the last Prince album that evoked any real emotion that I could identify with.

Definately under-appreciated.



ok what 6 or 7 tracks don't you like??? Da da daa has to be one of them!!!!!

da da da nod

Betcha By Golly Wow (I can't stand his version of it for some reason)

La la la means I love you ill

Sleep around (I just can't stand this song)

One Kis at a Time



Actually, that's it. shrug
THere are a few I don't love, but I don't actually dislike (White Mansion, We Gets up, Lets have a Baby)

But for the most part, like I said, with 36 songs and 3 hours, Emancipation has many many many hits compared to misses.

I don't know where you live, but where I live depending on where you go, they still want to charge full price. Thank you. wink

I do agree with you on it being a good cd, however

I live in a cowboy hicktown and bought it for half off. Looked it up and couldn't get it on itunes. Transfered the CD to my Ipod.

I would buy it even just for the title track. Am I really the only one who loves "Emancipation"?

The bass line is sooo groovy and gets me in a better mood in no time! smile

Give it a chance. If for nothing else, it's another Prince CD in your collection. What doesn't work for some may work for you and vice versa.
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

I think you should.

There's something for everyone on this album. On three CDs, there ought to be, huh?

And you can find them quite cheap on ebay.

You don't have it because of what people say? neutral

No offense, but that's a stupid ass reason not to get a Prince album. As varied as folks tastes are when it comes to Prince, opinions like that are really worth squat. Fuck, there are people around here who love NPS and hate SOTT!?!? As for me, I like about half of emancipation. Of course the half that I like is the half that someone else thinks is pure crap.

My advice is to get it, give it a few listens, and make up your own mind.
"What kind of fuck ending is that?"
