seriously though, any album over 45 minutes has some filler on it somewhere.

i think one of the few saving graces of prince's recent albums have been that they each seem to run roughly under an hour.

yes. it's probably why i enjoy them so much (to varying degrees).

i have no idea if he's picked the BEST 10-12 tracks for each of these albums, having not heard what was left off, but i'm glad he's rediscovered the fine art of editing himself.

if they were any longer, i imagine i'd rank them down there with Emancipation and Rave. or dread having to slog through a another D&P or prince or TRC-length disc at this late stage in his career and my fandom.

Squeezing 16 quality tracks I actually love off of the last 3 albums is tough lol

Back in the 80's I couldn't even create an EP based off of the songs I disliked. sigh

I can't believe people hate this song. I think it's a perfectly written little pop tune lol

Prince's problem with half these songs isn't the actual song themselves, but how he records them (vocals, mix, etc.). This is evident when he does a live version of a studio song that I first find ill and then think is brilliant in the flesh. I've seen him completely murder classic studio recordings live too, so it works both ways lol
