PrintableNew Power Soul....An "NPG" project fronted and sung almost exclusively by P.
Uninspired as hell and a letdown, especially after P was supposed to be "free". HE was on autopilot. Wack from beginning to end with the saving grace being "Wasted Kisses". I would also make a strong case for Graffiti Bridge. The only great thing about the album were the P tracks. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

NDRU said: CosmicTalk said:  But Emancipation is exactly that! - Free! No cohesiveness, no formula..he was FREED! Not only from WB but musically as well. It made sense, just like it made sense to call C&D just that; that's what he was feeling at that time.I like Emancipation, too, for what it is. Actually I think it is pretty cohesive--less so disc 3 maybe--but that's what's impressive to me about it. The sound holds together pretty well. Still that's just the sound & structure. I know what you're saying. He broke certain of his own conventions--like doing covers, having disc 2 be mostly slow songs, and of course, the sheer size of it as a whole.

New Power Soul is a very terrible record.
Disc 2 of the Emancipation set is awful I like C&D more than Rave, but neither they , Graffiti or the Vault are really much cop. All have some good tracks, and all have tunes I heard once and need not hear ever again. | |

Dreamin' about U, Joint to Joint, E-mail, are you crazy? | |

chaos & disorder and new power soul are really bad albums with three or four great tracks between them (dinner with delores, the one, come on, wasted kisses...). the vault isnt bad its just a bit boring (i love there is lonely and sarah). "i'm kidding baby, thats a joke" | |

Emancapation II is sappy nonesense.
I'm surprized it was released, I thought he had more brains. DiscIII of this set however, now this I like a lot. "Style" in particular and "the love we make", I like the needle reference. The Vault isn't that bad, the cut I like most I already had though, from that Spike lee film, with the walking bassline. | |
