i'm with u

You guys are making it hard for me to hold out on seeking the leaked tracks ...but I'm sticking to my guns. I am going to wait until the album is officially released.

Can some please post the lyrics to Chelsea Rodgers?

The early reviews sound promising.
Can't comment until I hear the whole thing.

Seek all you want. Without the help of others, they're pretty hard to find. Forget stuff like Google searches.

PurpleCharm said:

You should- the leaked album's quailty is low-n-crappy... but the album itself is GREAT!!! Can't wait for the real deal!

i stayed up late last night seaching for like an hour ....and not a damn thing

ChaosDisorder said:

Perhaps I wasn't clear in my post. I don't want any of the leaked tracks.

CynthiasSocks said:

Yes, do yourself a favor and wait for the CD. Or a CD-quality leak, anyway I'm not sure, but the low quality might have turned me off of the 4 remaining tracks I hadn't heard until today. but i've only heard them once so far.

CynthiasSocks said:

Low and crappy makes Prince's unreleased music sound better. I can't tell you the amount of times I listened to unreleased material, loved it, but when it came out in perfect quality it wasn't as good as I thought. Crappy quality is fine by me, it gives the music more of a mystique.

No, this is the kind of low-n-crappy that sounds like mud.

"Chelsea Rodgers" is the best Jamiroquai track since "Cosmic Girl"

CynthiasSocks said:

yeah, i prefer a 5th generation maxell tape sound to an underwater mp3 sound.

Prince + Nursery Rhymes = Planet Earth Cd



If you know anything about music, you know what that means.

Resolution reminds me of that Foo Fighters song with the video in the style of the Mentos commercials from the early 90's.

Mr. Goonight - 7 I actually like this song. Some of the lines in it are hilarious and witty. And the chorus is catchy.

Chealse Rogers(sp?) - 8. Seems a bit inflated to me. It's a fun track and has a great vibe to it. Possibly single material, but not the strongest track.

Lion of Judah - 8.5 Wow. Great Graffiti Bridge meets Rainbow Children Anthem. Not over done but the harmony is tight.

Resolution - 9 My favorite track right now. Great Harmony.

All the Midnights of the World - 8.5 Again, great harmony.

Overall this album will only suffer for one reason in my opinion): Timing. If it was released after SOTT or LoveSexy people would be all over this thing calling it genius and "Return to form" and all that other shit.

It's a great, tight album, exceeding 3121 and Musicology in both radio friendly songs, harmony, and overall theme--this album seems very tightly knit together with 2 hiccups (Mr. Goodnight, and Future Baby's momma). It seems made a real effort to make this an album filled with harmony. It's sounds like a progression of the Revolution material.



I am totally stoked about this CD being released now!

Imago said:

NO! NO DAN NO!

man, I really hope something with a better quality grade surfaces soon.. the one floating around is trancoded, from a transcode. from a transcode to a transcode



still cool to listen tho.. im really excited about this

i want to be excited, i really do.

Imago said:

I hope you're joking. It sounds nothing like Revolution material and it sounds like he got bored and decided to do a bit of preaching to some simple midi-recorded beats.

Awful.

Prince does lounge music.



It's dreadful!

Spookymuffin said:

I love the album. I don't think it's lightweight at all. It harkens to alot of the college music that was udner-the-radar in the 80s (10,000 maniacs, Edie Brikell, etc.--smoothed out on the Revolution tip. )

It's over-produced half-arsed R&B!

When Prince was under the radar he was edgy, raw and lo-fi with a lot of energy. This sounds like Prince lit an incense candle, sipped some herbal tea and asked a buddhist monk to write him a guitar riff.

All, you gotta do is turn that frown upside down, and let the Lion of Judah into your heart, and you'll be swinging that fine ass booty like Chelsea Rogers honey!




There you got it Laurel. Get on up!
