Yes they do!

Perhaps the xperience of reading the review...

I don't read the f*cking reviews

Not for me. I don't read them...especially the long ones.

I can read a thousand negative reviews, but they won't effect my listening experience. Maybe because long ago I realized most people are idiots .

Fan reviews ruin the experience.

Avoiding fan reviews avoids ruining the experience.

Avoiding prince.org fan reviews? Priceless.

Really, though, I don't mind "I love or hate this track". It makes me more curious to hear something. Opinions don't effect my personal experience.

I dont read any reviews neither have I listen 2 the music online as it spoils my enjoyment just dont listen or read anything

MikeMatronik said:

You dont have to read them..do you?

I like reading them because they always vary so wildly from person to person.

I actually enjoy fan reviews.I never take'em seriously,anywayz.

NouveauDance said:

Totally agree! Sometimes I like the different perspectives because it allows me to HEAR more of whats in his music...

'Fan reviews ruin the whole experience!'....- Couldnt agree more. Anyone who is over 30, and was actually able to remember what a great event a prince album was ill give their opinion a chance when it comes to album reviews because that was a time period when prince worked his bollocks off to produce good music and thats why lots of us wont give up on him BUT i find on this site so much bad taste when it comes to rating songs - probably from people who love the Gold experience or think TRC was great , or think symbol was best thing since slice bread. Please, if u any of the above dont give any more opinions on any other records cuz i for one cant take them seriously

littlejim said:

So if I like TRC I should shut the fuck up?

then don't read the shits damn

Thank you, that's what I've been trying to say!

Are you speaking of cd reviews or concert reviews?

Only when you allow them that power.

And I have made that mistake before in the past. Never again!

The music, good or bad, should between the artist and my ears. Other opinions will wait until I've lived with it for awhile.

But everyone is fortunately created different. Some can read everything, yet listen to a new album in complete privacy.

I'm not one of those people; at least not yet. Right now I'd end up listening through a hundred, or even a thousand other opinions.

This is not fair to either me or the music.

It's the leaks that ruin the experience! It drives me nuts. I get so excited about the new albums but you have to mostly aviod these sites becaue of all the fans who download crappy leaks.

yup .. i said that in another thread.. no one's opinion will affect my judgment of what I LIKE ..wont stop me from hearing

I just never pay attention to what others say. I make my own decisions. Why would I care what PudgyPrinceFanFromArkansas thinks about the album?

Wait, isn't that Prince's Orgname?

What is the answer to the question of u? I guess it depends on what the definition of "u" is...

release the mouth from yo mutha's tit.

What a trip.

I see some people are superman. Someday I hope to be superman.

Of course people will be influcenced by others. No one lives in a cave and has invented society all for themselves.

Nor have even musical geniuses created music for themselves. They've just picked up from where millions before them left off.

You learn through yourself and through others.

Or you can just pretend that your superman! Everything I know, everything I've heard, I tell you, it's me. All me!

Shit.

nobody is saying they are superman...but if you are confident in your own opinion you shouldn't give a flying f*ck what other's think...or you should at least have the self esteem to take what other's say and understand its wrap in a big bow of IN. THERE. HUMBLE. OPINION.

sh*t...if you all get your panties in a bunch over other's opinion of art then please for the love of all humanity stay the f*ck away from the p&r forum.
