Ah... it sounds like you were in the same position I was when I first got it. Those were the 4 songs I already knew that I liked.

I was automatically impressed by "Thunder"
Prince is awesome as a one-band band
Enjoy

I think the rest took me a while to get into
Walk, Don't Walk and Live 4 Love were among the first.

Simply his best album of the nineties. more diverse and satisfying then The Gold Experience.

This album is not bad at all. I thought it was pretty good. Money Don't Matter 2night is one of my top 10 favorite Prince songs. I play this album every now & then.

Yet again we have the exact same reaction to a Prince album!! This is starting to get weird

um, great minds think alike?

saw ur siggy btw, that's something I said
ur the 2nd person to use one of my quotes in their signatures. And like the other, I just came up with it on the spot

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

lol i guess great minds do think a like.
Oh yea, that was a good day in the chat room
btw how did those finals go??

MajesticOne89 said:

I have one more to take... and if it is as the professor said it would be, I should do well
The other two came and went. The first was really easy and the 2nd was a bit more difficult... but I'll live.

just to stay on topic,
Gett Off hasn't really been mentioned very much here at all. Truth be told, it took me a while to get into that song at first. The video was kinda disturbing when I saw it the first time
But once I heard it a few more times, I started liking it.
It's one of the most fun tracks on this album
so fun to sing along 2.

i loved it at first but never listen to it now...even passed on adding it to my itunes.

One of my all time favorite albums from da man. As it has been repeated many times in this thread the worst part of this album was Tony M. but the musicoligy of this album cancels his sorry/tired raps out. There were too many gems on this album to dismiss it as even mediocre. Thunder, Daddy Pop, Diamonds & Pearls, Money Don't Matter Tonight, Strollin', Willing & Able, Insatiable, Live 4 Love, Get Off and even the message in Push. This definitely was one of his best efforts.

I still like most of it.

Back in 1991 and 92,I loved this album.I don't think it aged well,though.I tried playing it a few weeks ago and I found myself skipping through every other track It was a cool album for its time but some of the songs sound really silly to me,now.

It's simply decent.

very nicely put.
I haven't even thought of that.
I'd say that the rapping keeps it from becoming an album better than average.
I heard some of the songs were terrible, so I wasn't expecting much the first time around. Then I came across a couple of songs I had no idea what he was talking about (Daddy Pop and Live 4 Love eluded me 4 a while... Daddy Pop still kinda does)...

The good making up for the bad... see I try to say the same about Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic (where Man O' War, love u but dont trust u anymore, The Greatest Romance are strong enough gems to keep the album from being a "complete loss")... but nobody listens to me the tracks they had are "so bad" that these gems are often forgetten about.

Whether D&P is better than Rave, I still have to figure out for myself. I haven't had the time to really compare the two. When I was still debating on getting one or the other, someone suggested Rave and I took their advice... only to find that I didnt dig it at first (seemed a little alien actually).

Diamonds & Pearls, I still need to spend time with to hammer out the kinks and see how I think it stacks up with his other material. I haven't had it for very long (3 months) and cuz of school and some other albums, I haven't been able to spend much time with it.

Tony's rapping is actually tolerable (as in "I dont mind it") in two songs (Willing and Able, Live 4 Love)... in fact, I think it works. It kinda keeps Daddy Pop from being able to take on the other songs... and Push, I like, but I'll see how the whole thing sounds without it.
I'm still experimenting with it, so... maybe I should come back when I'm more familiar with the album.

Sorry I wasted anyone's time with my long post.

i still rock this album ..the funk of daddy pop, push, the jazzy strollin, the rocker of live 4 love, the only "clunker" 4 me still is cream

If you took a closer look you would have noticed I left it off my list as well.
People really got into it(I think it went to #2 on Billboard), but I never felt it.

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

My advice to you is not to listen to me put it nicely put listen intently to D&P. I've had it for the last sixteen years and still listen to it with regularity. It didn't take too long for it to grow on me(about 1 hour), but it grew on me alright.

dseann said:

i hear cream and i go like this

L4OATheOriginal said:

I haven't listened to this in absolute ages and found it over the weekend and loved every inch of it Push is so underrated and misunderstood but that is one of my all time favorite Prince songs.

L4OATheOriginal said:

There is something really genius and funky in the simplicity of this song And how can people talk shit about Strollin? They do

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Now now now, no one, absolutely no one should fuck with Strollin'. That was a fucking stroke of genius. I absolutely love it to death.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

push is the jam

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

1st time i heard cream was on the arsenio hall show and i wasn't feeling it from the jump ..then heard daddy pop and was like now that was funky!
