Ok I may don't like PE a lot BUT it can't b compared 2 Future Sex/Lovesounds I mean PE has a meaning,it's kinda more creative the other album (well form the songs I have heard) is just so meaningless....

???? 2 of the 10 songs on the album have some sort of theme that coincide with the title of the album, hardly a ratio that equates to the album having some sort of meaning or theme. and besides, whethe rit did have a meaning or not (it doesn't) doesn't mena the quality of the songs can't be judged against each other.

hehehe, this is so funny.

I realise this is a Prince site, but this is SO funny.

Oh, and

Fams...

Here, here. Some folks' ears here are really blinkered so to speak. Justin Timberlake's album is miles and miles better. 'Planet Earth' is so unmemorable.

Ummm..personally, I do listen to a lot of different artists, but I don't come on a Prince site to talk shit about him and push those other artists.

If I wasn't interested in P's current music, I wouldn't come here at all. Unlike you, who thinks that Prince is the worst person on the planet, but is so obsessed with Prince, he can't stay away.

That's Bart's M.O., or gimmick, if you will. He has to always step out of the shadows to dog Prince time and time again to prove that his taste in music is cool and better than everybody else's. It's the same tired schtick that he used on AMP for so long. If he hates Prince's current music and has done so since The Gold Experience, you'd think that in that 12 year time span, he'd have found a way to let go. It's like he has a case of Battered Spouse Syndrome.

Planet Earth by Far. FurureSex is pretty good, but it got old real quick to me. JT actually writes worse lyrics than Prince, and the songs on it that are bad are unlistenable.

ok ok sorry don't shoot me

Serioulsy, tell me what is by far so much better on Planet Earth ???

I mean serioulsy.

krayzie said:

seriously, I already stated why. seriously. not all answers have to be in the form of a thesis. the songs on FutureSex getting real old real quick is an answer enough. I like the cd, just not nearly as much as PE.

dumbass said:

You didn't respond

I'm asking you SERIOUSLY what makes PE "by far" a better album.


Saying FutureSex getting real old real quick is not serious response.

I'm asking you to respond serioulsy what makes PE such a BETTER album and "by far".

Bring real arguments.

if you wanna hear a group that sounds like prince but isnt prince, its the Time. They are still hot after all these years.. Get it up, Cool, The Stick. This music is awesome...

The reason I make this comment is this... People have been trying to recreate the Prince "sound" since time began... Someone before mentioned Janet Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, but there are mulitudes more that were "hot" over the years and then either faded away or did something else.. Remember "Ween"?, and other groups like the Neptunes, Alicia Keys, Andre 3000,D'Angelo, Beck and probably thousands of others that I cant remember... all influenced by him and his style and all tried to "capture" some of that Prince magic... but the problem is, Prince himself never made music in this style, if he did, it was for short moments, and maybe for an album. 1999 and PR maybe defined his "classic" minneapolis sound, Dirty Mind his "Punk Rock style", Lovesexy his "ElectroSpiritualPop" sound and Black Album, his "pure funk" sound.. but all of it was dirty, rough, not ever completely polished mainly because of the speed he got through making his records and his very busy lifestyle...

Others, with more time on their hands, try and recreate that Prince sound and have been trying over the decades.. This is where we get to Future Sex/Lovesounds. This is definately a record that has successfully done it - ie recreate a perceived Prince sound. And for this, it sounds great. Its a great album on its own and should be remembered as such. But the so called Prince "sound" is a fallacy. He has so many facets to his sound, its just that we have a classic image of his sound. The Linn, the horns, the falsetto, the rythm guitar. Any uses of these instruments suddenly get the tag of "Prince sounding". So this is rather funny to me, when Prince doesnt even sound like classic Prince anymore, his old styles are so influentual that people are still trying to "do" Prince.

I dont blame them, for Prince is the best. So FutureSex/Lovesounds in this respect has just done what everyone else has done is has tried to do, but perhaps in this case.. successfully. The only question is, will it stand the test of time? In 50 years time, will people love "Sexy Ladies" or "Sexy Dancer"? I personally think it will be the latter, but who really knows.. I think Purple Rain has had a much more lasting effect than Purple Haze but I also think that Sex Machine by James Brown is more influential than Sexy MF. All in all, its horses for courses. As a Prince fan, I beleive that he is the best and does the best purely because his type of raw talent is unknown in the modern pop era, but I dont think we should lambast those who copy him and try to get it right. We should be encouraging it!

there is no real argument because this isn't something that is debatable. I don't have to analyze the music beyond what I have to form a subjective opinion and comparrison of the two.

you want an argument, inherently meaning you want to debate my opinion. and if your interest is in debating my opinion, your purpose is obviously to tell me my opinion is wrong. sorry, but the comparrison of PE and FutureSex isn't anything that demands a position more in depth than what I have stated. feel free to debate that if you like.

dumbass said:

You can't come here and claim that PE is by far better and can't seriously bring serious arguments.

Now you tell me that this isn't something that is debatable.
