Postman I guess.

...either that or those new 'self-sent' CD's have finally hit the shelves.

the most important question - does it count as a record sale on the charts?

Wow, are you late!

I agree with u-Musicology is brilliant.

I think Musicology is pretty weak, personally

Listen to 3121

The album is great but the sound isn;t.

It's a shame becuase the bass work is immense in parts. If you put on call my name then turn on your sub woofer the bass is distorted as hell and drowns everything out as opposed to the well recorded and mastered D & p and even some of his early work. It's not the doing of prince though it's the engineers; Prince played brilliantly i think.

Least favourite album in a long while but it has a couple of tunes. 3121 is better though

I'm sorry. but these are the type of comments which irk the heck out of me every single time. I insist to you that most people... a great majority of them... damned near all of them... with the exception of a few geeks and musicians into 'audio engineering' etc ... couldn't give a rats azz about minor distortions which most people's ipods... mp3 players.. cd stereo systems etc couldn't decipher to begin with.

Before you get upset... I have a similiar problem with motion pictures. Unlike the vast majority of people..who really dont care... I CANNOT watch a movie on DVD/Vdeo tape unless it is shown in its propor ratio. But I know this is due to my own sensitivity to the difference..and most people wouldnt notice any way.. so I don't bore them down with it.

OTHERWISE

Enjoy the album... if its the funkiest thing you have ever heard... then GREAT!

Why do people have to be such kill joys when a person finds something THEY like.

hmm i dont think i needed that negative comment thanks.i am a new prince fan and just getting to know his music. i thought thats what this forum is for to express opinions on prince music now your telling me my opinion isnt good enough and i shouldnt bother who are you to tell me that hey.

naoirv said:

I wouldn't take what people say on here too seriously, we're a bunch of big softies really.

i know i shouldnt but im not well at the moment im sensitive

naoirv said:

PMS?

nah i very bad cold and my medicine making me tired thanks for your concern sometimes thats what you need is somone to care

QuakeXLE said:

that is a very ignorant thing to say. There's MANY albums totally ruined by mastering.

Do you know hendrix was dissapointed by his mastering? He said after EL he was gonna oversee the mastering of all his albums.

If an albums sounds bad the 'most' that you talk about will probably think it's the production when in fact it's the engineering. Either way many people are bothered by the sound; why do THOUSANDS EACH WEEK buy zeppelin remasters? Why did the zep remastered box set go to number one?

DYNAMICS my friend. Without dynamic range music sounds rubbish.

Do you know the bit in LTC with the vocal distortion, turn it right up and listen on a quality system; imagine that for 60 minutes; that's what some albums are like.
Why would you not want the best sound? Do you not enjoy bass playing or drums/guitars? Well the sound of what you hear could be much better when engineered well; that's why MJ'S mixer bruce swedien sometimes worked weeks on a mix of one song. Listen to the albums; brilliant sound!

i like musicology better than 3121..."the marrying kind" is one of my favorite prince songs.

i think you mean "musicology is just swill"

I dig 3121 more. "Lolita" is my JAM!

It's an alright album. Some really good stuff is on there, but there's also a disturbingly high ratio of snoozers. Not bad songs, but boring ones.

3121 uses Musuckology as a feminine pad

what's LTC?

naoirv said:

Don't pay folks here no mind. Keep on speaking your mind. You'll always find someone who will agree with you. For me, I'll take 3121 over Musicology anyday but Musicology isn't bad. Oh, welcome to the wonderful world of Prince music naoirv!

naoirv said:

Welcome to Prince.org!

Musicology isn't one of my faves but I'm glad you're enjoying it. Not all of us are killjoys. I love 3121 to pieces.

So, when did you get into Prince? What albums do you have? Have you seen him live yet?

Feel better soon

Yes I LOVE musicology [[since ive seen no one else agree]]
I love the songs, "If Eye was the man in ur life" and "The Marrying Kind" oh and my wedding song "Call my Name"

I think Musicology is brillant too. "A Million Days" is a great song. I love it.

Yes! I was blasting that on my iPOD today in school, singing and everyone is looking at me with evoking stares. It's weird, because now everyone knows Im in love with Prince. My Teacher said, "Are you and Prince married?" and I said, "Yes, why yes we are. In my mind". More evoking stares, but doesnt matter because Lolita was on, and I was having fun.
